If I may weigh in here as a non-Catholic, evangelical, and apart from my position on Catholicism, what is missing in responses here is what the inspired Scriptures teach on the subject.. Which is that, while aspects such as what women keeping silence in the church (Acts 21:9, 1 Corinthians 11:4...

Meaning more recourse to ad hominem in response to sound reproof. As a mod on another forum advises, If the other guy is throwing spitwads at you on an “open” thread it probably means he has run out of ammunition. Take it as a backhanded compliment. You won, walk away. Your choice.

Meaning more soliloquy.

Which is very close to the KJV, though not on the list of approved translations by your bishops. The 1983 Code of Canon Law entrusts to the Apostolic See and the episcopal conferences the authority to approve translations of the Sacred Scriptures in the Latin Catholic Church (c. 825, §1)...

Meaning recourse to more ad hominem, followed by prolix profession, in lieu of any actual refutation.

All were and are manifestly considered members by your leadership to whom you are to submit, including Bergoglio, who likely considers the three scholars mentioned above to be too conservative. I hope to God Allmighty that you are simply deceived and are not consciously deceiving, in response...

"Scripture" includes the OT, which constitutes the majority of the Bible, and as said and shown, provided the epistemological and prophetic foundation for the church, and especially the gospel without which the church would have no members. Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power...

Thank you for affirming reality.

Rather, it is the denial that scripture preceded the Church that is detachment from reality, as has been made quite evident, leaving this latest retort to be another bare assertion that is expect to be accepted regardless of the irrefutable evidence against it. And yet many Catholics do seem...

"they run counter to Catholic teaching on many, many levels," Yes, there is no need to state the obvious, but the issue is that of censuring challenges to it such as I have made. In which I have dealt with the typical retort that the NT church "was not founded upon the Bible" (seeing as it did...

As a Catholic forum, then it should welcome or at least allow challenges to the faith, even if it is solely by a once faithful Catholic. Who, contrary to a "rapid series of specious arguments, half-truths, misrepresentations and outright lies" the format of the debate makes impossible to...

The recourse to a form of ad hominem in lieu of a valid argument is an argument against being a Catholic, while the charge of refusing to obey Christ - and of not being a Christian - due to my challenging Catholics on home turf is simply begging the question, presuming what begs to be proven...

You mean that substantial disagreements btwn the Orthodox and RCs, and the latter among themselves, are not a reality since you have an infallible magisterium. That fractured state is the reality, despite (at least paper professions) affirmation of key beliefs? And Rome has authoritatively...

No, as has been made evident in a post 2 days ago (Scripture warns believers against believing a false gospel based on merit via the Law, making Christ of no effect, to no profit, and of departing from the living God, thereby forfeiting what faith obtained. .(Gal. 5:1-4; Heb. 3:6; 10:25-34")...

1. Luther's translation and inclusion of deuterocanonical in his translation, but separately as not being Scripture proper in his expressly private opinio, and the addition of 7 books (if not quite as many a Orthodox) not part of the most ancient canon corespondent to that of Protestantism (if...
