Hmm … sudden death seems a little extreme.

Not to be a party pooper, but if a Pope was really determined to make an ex cathedra statement declaring Y, and if Y is false, I think the most likely outcome is that said Pope would succeed in making a non-ex cathedra statement declaring Y, without dying or anything else spectacular. (Not that I would completely rule out his being struck by lightning, or struck dumb like Zechariah, or even having a vision that set him straight.)

Ha ! … who put the timeframe on it?
Well … I would say that you need to ask what the Catholic Church means when we claim it rather than you yourself defining what the Catholic Church means.

The Church’s definition is a very narrow one.

You stating that the claim is something other than what is actually is will only be a strawman you are setting up.
for shame.

**Hebrews 7:26 “For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens”
Greek: “Toioutos gar hemin kai eprepen (3SIAI) archiereus, osios, akakos, amiantos, kechorismenos (RPPMSN) apo ton hamartolon, kai hupseloteros ton ouranon genomenos; (AMPMSN”

**Yup, That seems to be correct. So what? Do we have a problem with that? I can’t see how? **

[sign]

**1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; **
[/sign]

That also is true! We always go through Jesus to get to God. Always! Why we even ask the Angels and Saints to do that for us too!

Now I wouldn’t want to call anyone hypocrites, I am sure you all comply with the rest of Timothy don’t you? Or do you just ignore it?:eek: Perhaps like the CC you understand that this was written to a different people at a different time in History?

Lucky for the real church we follow the living church of Christ. He is our head, we are the body of Christ, we don’t worship parts of a book that we like and become our own gods!👍 We follow the Church lead by Jesus the Christ!

The Church is never wrong when it speaks Infallibly: The Magesterium (All Bishops, and the Pope). Hasn’t ever changed Basic Teaching, Dogma in 2000 Years. Pretty good Proof.

What that means is All Bishops defining a basic Teaching; And/or the Pope ‘speaking’(Writing) 'Ex Cathedra", Officially.

:frighten: :pshaw: Now am worried that bro Real becoming Protestor against Women. Mary is the Intercessor, the Guide to her Son. And my Mom had a verified Marian Medical miracle Cure, Which our CC teaches can Only be done by God.
Like, The Rosary is Direct living the Gospel Narration of Her Son, Our Lord.
And Father Corapi explaimned why Women can’t be Priests. Our Lord judged women Too ideal to be Priests. He left that job to us messing thimngs up Men. Luckiluy we have higher Church Authority (Bishops) to keep them straight.

Can I borrow a Greek Dictionary, bro Real, to check the accuracy of your quote? ( Just j/k)

Hi cazayoux, Dyslexic?

Why do you think PeteJ, another Catholic, definition was wrong as stated?🤷 It wasn’t!
My issue was with Sailka stating this…
Code:
* Infallibility means Never wrong, last time I asked
As Catholics, we don’t believe the pope is speaking infallibly EVERY time he speaks.

It’s only when he speaks on faith and morals, to the whole church, from the chair of Peter.

This is a purposefully narrow and guided definition.
Those arguing against our church’s claim to papal infallibility tend to thing the definition is much, much broader and use this to ‘show us how we are wrong’.

Good point. There seems to be almost an epidemic of CAF posters saying that the Pope is always infallible without mentioning the conditions, or mentioning some of the conditions but omitting others (e.g. “The Pope is never wrong when he speaks on a matter of faith or morals.”)
 
LOL

What you just gave is actually the definition of “infallible”.

The claim that the Church makes is that ex cathedra statements by the Pope are infallible.
Maybe I should have constructed my sentence better. I was not implying that all the Pope’s teachings are infallible, just that the ones that are infallible are guaranteed to be infallible.

cazayoux and PeterJ I have noticed that also! By the way, Sailka **(Tony) hasn’t been around lately. The Mods may have gotten him. He insults protestants some time.:eek: **
I am glad I don’t! I may insult their stupid beliefs but I try not to attack them personally! We all can’t be right!

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY

**Infallibility belongs in a special way to the pope as head of the bishops (Matt. 16:17–19; John 21:15–17). It is a charism the pope enjoys in virtue of his office, when, as the supreme shepherd and teacher of all the faithful, he confirms his brethren in their faith (Luke 22:32), he proclaims by a definitive act some doctrine of faith or morals. Therefore his definitions, of themselves, and not from the consent of the Church, are justly held irreformable, for they are pronounced with the assistance of the Holy Spirit, an assistance promised to him in blessed Peter." **
Papal infallibility is not a doctrine that suddenly appeared in Church teaching; rather, it is a doctrine which was implicit in the early Church. It is only our understanding of infallibility which has developed and been more clearly understood over time. In fact, the doctrine of infallibility is implicit in these Petrine texts: John 21:15–17 ("Feed my sheep . . . "), Luke 22:32 (“I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail”), and Matthew 16:18 ("You are Peter . . . "). [/sign]

**I am guessing that is how us Catholics explain 1 Timothy 2:5 and Hebrews 7:26? ( Rememebring the OP!!)😃 **

That’s having Fun teaching the reality if the Only Other who said he’de Solve all Problems. He Was totally inexperienced to make His ‘promises’. Didn’t he fall off a mountanbike too?
That’s having fun with what he did, Buried the USA totally as Khrushchev said he’de do Economically.
We have sensitive situated people here.

Its great to have Fun with visitors, But really hitting hard and personally Never is. Ever.

In post 870 I only gave the Definition for the word Infallibillity, to correct PJ’s use of the Pope ex cathedra being wrong about Y. Infallible only Ex Cathdra.

I do stay very busy lot of threads too. And like to help everyone. Good to see Peter J now our friend. That’s the way to be with Every one. 👍

Aren’t personal opinions nice. I have mine also. One thing brother, I am serious as a heartattack! IMO you can never be too harsh about false teaching ! I never say anything in hate of the person. But I am forced by God to speak out and defend our faith. Real knights are required to do that in the name of Jesus! I have always spoken the truth. If that offense people maybe they better wake up? If by accident, I wound an innocent I am glad that you are here like Florance Nightengale to patch them up! That is a good thing! In any war there are casualties. I was one in another real war! This battle is more important it can save souls Eternal lives buddy!
I sincerely love all our visitors and respect them as persons. I realize they have the right to have a wrong opinion, follow false teachings and remain condemned to hell if that is their desire.It is my desire to attempt to save their souls. If that is “unkind” then put me down on the unkind list! I must attempt to save them, it is my christian duty! I take my responsbility to my fellow man very seriousely. I realize that they are “Separated Brothers and Sisters” as our church teaches. They are “separated” by lies, corruption teaching of our beliefs, false dogma and counterfeit Bibles. Many protestants are very nice, kind and caring people, they seem to be sincere and honest people. I couldn’t say anything wrong about them as people. Actually even Mormons and other “cultist” like SDA, and JH can be nice. There are many good people who love what they think is Jesus. However they practice false religious practices and are currently destined for hell. It is a fact that Jesus himself warned about many times in the Bible. So many Sola Scriptura heretics don’t even follow the bible that they swear by! Otherwise our job would be so much easier it is all written in the scriptures. Except the part about the scriptures being the only source of salvation. Jesus said it was eating his actual body which is only offered by the catholic religion. You, I and the others attempt to defend and explain our faith. Keep up the good work, my brother!

**PeterJ has always been “our friend” but like you and I he has his personal opinion and isn’t afraid to voice it. rememebr friend, we are all working for good. We are different parts of the same Body of Christ, attempting to remove the cancerous growth that started to develop 500 years ago. I do surgery, you patch them up and PeterJ explains what is happening and why? 😃

God Bless, breaks over, back to work**

Reference the OP

1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"

Jesus mediated, with His Father, by His death on the cross to obtain for us eternal life. The angels and Saints to include His Blessed Mother intercede on our behalf to Jesus.


** Hebrews 7:26 25 Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them. 26 It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens.** 27 He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself.

**Tony,
4th since 1977! :knight1:
Did you notice? They accepted me as a greeter.:eek: I will be “nice” 😃

Let me explain some thingsTony, “Congress” makes the laws, allocates and spends money. The President signs the laws and if he is lucky when the congress attempts to redistribute our wealth he can veto it. With their laws their isn’t much wealth here, so I am hoping to get some redistributed to me! 🙂 Of course, the war is not a good thing, they never are. :knight2: But they do, like elections move money into the economy. The congress does not have Jesus acting as their mediator.(OP Rules) Why bail any business out? I could use their help with my business. It is a non-profit, never started out that way but with taxes and economy it sure is now! 😃 I wish I had a mortage, I would have the government pay it for me! People are attempting to remove christ from our country. Thank God we have a new president who has strong christian values.:rolleyes: His preacher , that taught him for the past 20 years, has many good christian ideas doesn’t he?:eek:

Anyway,

God Bless, You are loved my brother! **
 
I would answer the same way I have answered others- If you believe the Bible is the sum of God’s Word, then you will never understand as we do. Sorry. But that’s the plain, simple truth. We believe that God spoke, and continues to speak, through the leaders that Christ appointed over the church, and their valid successors. There is absolutely no point in arguing with a Catholic from a Sola Scriptura standpoint.
This has nothing to do with Sola Scriptura. It has everything to do with what the Scriptures do say regarding Salvation and Christ. I have never claimed the Bible alone as all authority in Christianity. I do however claim the Bible as the highest authority amongst the others. To claim that Mary plays any role whatsoever in our Salvation is to be contrary to the Scriptures. This isn’t Sola Scriptura, it is simply saying that if you equate any authority whatsoever to the Sciptures, you cannot elevate Mary to this level with Christ. I would be very careful what my leaders were teaching. Peter and Paul didn’t teach that Mary is co-redemptrix or co-mediatrix.
