You sound just like any other Prot; trying to tell us Catholics what we SHOULD be doing.So you're okay with having a stupid politically correct moron representing you?

I’m allowed to assume, I assume, if I say I’m assuming!
Related terms, but not identical:
Metaphysical truth
Apodictic truth
Logical proof from direct evidence
Reasonable assumption from direct evidence
Reasonable inference from converging lines of direct and circumstantial evidence
Conjecture from circumstantial evidence
Estimation, educated guess, hunch
In descending order of reliability.
Any of these can be valuable, as long as you gave a pretty good account of where they are on the scale.
For instance: I have a hunch that you are probably a person, but you COULD be a Robo-Freep!
AY, AY, A.I.!

No the one who introduces this innovation, that Mary is not really Jesus mother, needs to prove it. You'll need a LOT more straw for THIS one!

God is all-powerful, but that doesn’t accommodate some middle-schoolers smart-aleck demand that He be able to make a square circle, or create a rock too heavy for Him to lift. These are a special kind of impossible: they are logical absurdities.
Akin to that is the kind of arbitrary and capricious power which Islamic philosophers attribute to Allah. They say that the essence of his being is sheer will, and therefore there are no limits on what he can will, or do. Islam teaches that God (Allah) may choose goodness or love or truth, but that is not part of his essence. He could just as well choose evil, hatred and lies.
This differs radically from the True God. We know that the True God doesn’t just choose to love: God IS Love. He cannot act against love, not because it is beyond His power, but because it is a logical contradiction: if He acted against love, He would not be God.
Long story short, God does not commit adultery. If he did we’d know it wasn’t God.

I never said Christ had said, "one has to be a member of the Roman Catholic Church". I said, "His Church". And His Church was founded upon His rock, Peter. And it just happens that One, True, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church happens to be the Catholic Church.You boys are gonna go FAR!

You prots really like to cherry-pick scripture, don't you?You Mackeral Snappers really like to IGNORE Scripture; don't you!
Matthew 23:9 English Standard Version
And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.

Elsie calls those tar babies ... Not quite.
Getting STUCK into a tightly held conviction with NO way out without getting yourself REALLY dirty in the process.
There are NO good exit strategies.
Slinking away; choosing either to sputter or not; is the ONLY way out.

Check out the historicity of the Douay-Rheims Bible and compare it to your own. Check out the accuracy of the Vulgate and compare it to your churchs later versions...

Yep. If Mary Magdalene’s marriage wasn’t valid, it’ll rock the crowned heads of Europe.
