No the Catholic position is that natural reason unaided by divine grace cannot attain a perfect understanding, and the Old Testament was an incomplete revelation, imperfectly understood.So, this seems to essentially indicate that humanity’s ability of reason is more likely to be “correct” than the text in God’s book.
As Catholics we submit to the magisterium for interpretation.When it is said that you take the Bible to be literal when it makes sense to humanity, but when it doesn’t then it must be allegorical?
Yeah we don’t stone them to death, but St. Paul condemned the immoral acts. Jesus is God Incarnate, and the perfect revelation; the New Testament morals in light of the gospel are fully revealed and interpreted with infallibility by the church.Who is to say that the passages that speak of homosexuality aren’t supposed to be taken as allegorical? What about the others that appear that Jesus is speaking about Hell?
