Context is only important when Prots are claiming something.

Then Catholics demand it and it’s essential.

When it’s Catholics doing the claiming, who needs any stinkin’ context?

Context is significant for 'all'....the problem becomes then how one applies it thereafter.

Catholics by nature will always “apply” scripture ‘to’ their traditions and dogma rather than allow scripture context to stand on it's own in order to ‘test’ their tradition and dogma.....there is a difference .....

.... So they cannot not know the truth 'as it is' because, for them, it must always be filtered thru their magesterium, their traditions etc. so they will always come up wanting, and is why they "feed themselves" further on historical authors etc., occupying themselves with rituals and various other distractions in order not to feel that emptiness.....never satisfied.

..... It's just the opposite of what God would have them 'do' to know the 'fullness' He would otherwise give them.

That's exactly, BTW, what Luther eventually found out for himself.
