Correction:

God’s teaching of ONE truth is infallible. The Bible we have did not fall from the skies and robotically self assemble itself.

They were assembled by the early Church Fathers under Petrine infallibility, and that Petrine infallibility did not disappear some eleven centuries later with the Reformation after the canonical texts were validated by the Church in the Synod of Rome in AD 382.

If you think the Church wrongly included some books or accidentally left out others, and therefore doubt Petrine infallibility, you need to assemble your own books in the Bible.

The Catholic Church has ONE Credo. We don’t need 30,000 different types of Protestant scriptural interpretations from David Koresh to Billy Graham to Jeremiah Wright. The latter is what you get from the heresy of Protestantism.

As the renowned essayist Hillaire Belloc put it, unlike other heresies, Protestantism “spawned a cluster of heresies.”

Amen. And I have a mixed= Catholic and Protestant family (and some Jewish members as well)

“Petrine infallibility”

Repeating this claim is silly. It wasn’t true the first time you posted it Steelfish.

There isn’t a single Christian that is infallible, but we serve a perfect God.
