Never heard of the Augsburg Confession, have you? Or the Formula of Concord?

Is there a reliable teaching authority that gives those documents any validity?

Fathers?

Doctors?

Saints?

Martyrs?

Is there a Magisterium that protects it as part of a deposit of faith?

Di the same ‘magicsteeringthem’ give you your current pope?

“Is there a Magisterium that protects it as part of a deposit of faith?”

The magisterium can’t even protect the *Vatican* from the plague of gays that infest it - and this under at least 3 “popes.”

Thee Vatican gay drug-fueled sex parties and the gay mafia are regularly written about by newspapers in Rome.

God made Adam and Eve. The magisterium either can’t figure that out, or no one in leadership of your religion cares.

Either shows the failure of this claim of magisterium protection.

mag·is·te·ri·um

ˌmajəˈstirēəm/

noun

noun: magisterium

1. the teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church, especially as exercised by bishops or the Pope.

 

(I sure hope the cardinals in that college got really good AUTHORITY when they voted for the pope last time.)

[Luircin]

1: Yes there is a reliable teaching authority; it’s called Holy Scripture, inspired by God himself. You should read it sometime.

2: Fathers, yes.
Doctors, yes.
Saints, yes.
Martyrs, oh my goodness yes; you Catholics certainly made a LOT of martyrs out of Protestants who confessed their faith in the face of death. Look up the Huguenots sometime. And before Luther, there was of course Jan Hus, murdered by the Catholics.

3: Funny that you whine about a so-called ‘Magisterium’ that should protect it as a ‘deposit of faith’ when YOUR Magisterium is busy having cocaine sodomy orgies and alternately boinking kids or covering up for the ones who were boinking kids. To say nothing of your Antichrist pope. I don’t know about you, but I personally would be utterly repulsed by the teaching of THAT kind of Magisterium.

But I guess there’s no accounting for taste.
