The Council of Trent is simply a *500 year old document*?
You mean it’s not valid any more? From the church that never changes?
Catholics do the same thing with Scripture and with a straight face expect us to accept their cherry picked Scripture verses.
So why is that a problem when a non-Catholic does it but not when a Catholic does it?
it is a legal document. I said this three times, but apparently you don’t know the difference between a legal document and a dogmatic proclamation.
Essentially they are telling clerics of 1530, many of whom were poorly educated or were career clerics with little true belief, that if they spread these ideas, they will be thrown out of the church, which is what anathema means.
The core dogmas don’t change.
As for cherry picking: read the wikipedia article I cited, which quotes the early church fathers and tradition on how the church argued about these dogmas long before Constantine came around.
