Roman Catholic Doctrinal Evolution****

Introduction of New doctrines not found in The Bible
  • 200 AD Immersion of infants who are dying, but considered sinless. (Tertullian V.12)
  • 250 AD North Africa region is first to practice infant baptism and reduced the age of baptism from minors to all newborns. This is opposed by other regions.
  • 257 AD Baptism by sprinkling for adults instead of immersion first used as an exception for those on sick beds, but it caused great dispute.
  • 300 AD Prayers for the dead
  • 320 AD Special dress code of the clergy in worship
  • 325 AD At the general council of Nice, 325, it was proposed indeed, probably by the Western bishop Hosius, to forbid entirely the marriage of priests; but the motion met with strong opposition, and was rejected.**
  • 325 AD The date for Easter was set**.
    Etc.
  • It’s not Calvinist - for it opposes OSAS
  • It doesn’t approve of instrumental music in worship, just as they don’t
  • It dates the use of candles in the Church to 850, whereas Boettner makes them his second item, in 320
  • It doesn’t approve of altar girls, or of evolution
  • It can’t spell “altar”, & it confuses “exaltation” with “exhalation”, an entirely different word & meaning.
  • It shows some knowledge of the Fathers & of churcghes in Rome, but next to none of how Catholic theology functions

It is. When it comes to history Protestantism just falls apart. At least the Eastern and the Catholic Church have more respect towards history than Protestants.
 
Believe that the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined in 1854 by Pius IX and not in 1954.
 
I believe you will find that the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined in 1854 by Pius IX. The Assumption was proclaimed a dogma on Nov. 1, 1950, by Pius XII. I was in college then and visited Rome during the Holy Year.
Keep smiling.
