Re 48243

Well, the problem frankly is that they think 2 dimensionally. They see a term used in the Bible and think because it appears there that it must apply everywhere - the critical review doesn't happen.

LOL. Havoc, have you ever met any Non-Catholic Christians?

It is they, not the Catholics, who eschew more nuanced understanding of what words in Scripture mean.

It's not the Catholics running around going "all have sinned" and "call no man on earth 'father' without the slightest effort in finding the message of the passage rather than the simplest literal rendering.

Yeah, right. You guys want to insist there are 12 possible meanings to "You may not do X" - and 11 of them are "you actually can we were just being silly" while the last one gets rejected out of hand as just wrong thinking. Depends on the situation too. But there you have it.
