The second reason for this thread is to point out the disunity that the Sola Scriptura perspective brings. Without the Catholic Church as a foil, you flounder for meaning. It's easy to point to the Church and tell Her where you disagree. It isn't so easy to agree with one another in your own exegesis. Read this thread and you will see bafflement, guesses, and conjecture. You won't read teaching from the Protestant perspective that is authoritative and instructive for all.

Not really. As you titled this thread on the opening lines of Psalm 22 and not the entire psalm and also the associated linking prophecies and fulfillment. You do well fleshing that out in a later post but not at the beginning. So the original post lacks what most Roman Catholic doctrine lacks...Biblical exegesis.

I will also note your own CCC allows for differing views on a multitude of faith issues. This would be one as long as a Catholic does not deny the full Deity of Christ.

The other flaw with this approach, vanity thread, is that it is open to Mormons, JWs, Oneness Pentecostals and other such Arian or tritheism heresies. So yes you are going to get different answers as none of those groups are in the (little "o") orthodox Christian tradition.

Our Savior and High Priest was on the cross (the altar) that day. One time for all.

This isn't meant to be a snark but instructive as to why the Church is here and how She has stood the test of time.

Truly? I still await three responses to posts I made to you on the other thread you called 'unproductive.' Perhaps take some of that instruction there to respond. Also, the church is not a she, the Church is the Body of Christ with Him as the Head and we as the members. And it's God's Truth that stands the test of time as not one of His words will be changed or come back empty. And how to we measure our actions and practices against God's Truth? Seek His Words and counsel. Where do we find those? Not in a catechism mixed with words of men.

Agreed! Thank you for noticing. So many here see the Church as some immovable behemoth that is stuck in Her ways. That is not so. She is constantly learning and teaching. That being said, there is very strong teaching on this subject that is instructive and authoritative.

It was unproductive. If you notice, I am one person and I am responding to multiple posters. I am not baited by every challenge and I can't possibly answer every post. I answer where I think there is a reason to answer that is edifying for me and for the conversation.

Also, the church is not a she, the Church is the Body of Christ with Him as the Head and we as the members.

It's a personal thing for me to refer to the Church as "She". One can ask, "how is the Church Christ's Body?" The answer is found in the model of Scripture (Genesis to Revelation opens and ends with Marriage)... the Church is the Bride of Christ and they are joined in one Flesh through the Marriage Feast of the Lamb (Eph 5:25-27, 2 Cor 11:2, Rev 19:7-9, Rev 21:9). As Jesus is male, I see the Church as female. Again, personal thing.
