In-credible: you (like so many other RCs) once again resort to post this polemical assertion, and thus once again comes the questions which you have continually refused to answer, which must be affirmed if your assertion is to have any weight. You simply need to affirm,
That being the historical instruments and stewards of Holy Writ means such is the infallible interpreters and authorities on it.
And thus willful dissent from them is rebellion against God, and invalidates any claim to authority?
If not, then of what import does you assertion have?
I get this impression some of the canned ‘apologetics’ we see here is just to get attention. Throw something really provocative out there and fill their pings with responses.
If there are lurkers here I think they see it too. They probably wonder why we respond.
Jimmy Swaggart, Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, or any other protestant had nothing to do with compiling the Bible. It was Catholics, then the Catholic Church determined what was sacred and the Holy Word of God. When you finally admit that, you’ll be a much happier person. Dr. Scott Hahn, like you, fought tooth and nail against the Catholic Church and was finally set free by the Holy Spirit and is now a Catholic. With God’s grace maybe the same will happen to you. I’ll pray that one day you’ll see the truth. The ones that show “willful dissent” and are rebelling against God, are the PROTESTants that continue to teach a false faith and ignore His Pilgrim Church on Earth.
