I thought you were some kind of Presbyterian? You have already pointed out that Church law doesn’t apply to you. How or why did you end up getting married in a Catholic Church? (Normally, at least one party to the marriage has to be a practicing Catholic.)That’s nice.
Yes. For example, currently, there is a hypothesis that Mary is Mediatrix of All Graces. The issue is being studied, and a ruling will come out one way or the other when a conclusion has been reached.
This is a profoundly inaccurate statement. The greatest conflicts had nothing to do with religion.
Thanks…
That’s nice.
Like I said, sometimes people get lucky.
Just as I thought… church rules are made by man.Yes. For example, currently, there is a hypothesis that Mary is Mediatrix of All Graces. The issue is being studied, and a ruling will come out one way or the other when a conclusion has been reached.
Discovered by man. Not made by man. If they were just making something up, it would only take a year, and Jerry Bruckheimer would be in charge of it; not Joseph Ratzinger.
It took three “committees” (Synods) before we got the Bible. What’s your take on the Bible - comes from God, or made up by men?
Do you know why you disagree, or is it just a knee-jerk reaction?
I find this interesting:Discovered by man. Not made by man. If they were just making something up, it would only take a year, and Jerry Bruckheimer would be in charge of it; not Joseph Ratzinger.
OK… sure LOL

for the same reason Mr Fausto gave when he disagreed with my initial assertion… except in reverse.
It is interesting, but it has nothing to do with what I asked you. I didn’t ask about the authorship of the individual books; I asked about the listing of those individual books into one Codex, which we today call the Bible. (You are aware, I trust, that there was a great deal more writing going on in the first century than ended up in the Bible, ultimately - and that someone had to edit down the list of books that were considered “the Bible.”)
We’ll jump all over him later, if he makes a habit of asserting without evidence.
Many Catholic teachings on morals are already law. Prohibition of murder, stealing, and fraud are moral teachings.
Man made.
LOL – Thanks!We’ll jump all over him later, if he makes a habit of asserting without evidence.
I think it’s actually the 11th Commandment of the Catholic Church - “Thou shalt not make assertions without backing them up with convincing evidence.”
Catholics wrote the Ten Commandments??
Please refresh my memory… I think it was a ways back.
No, God wrote them. Moses brought them down off the mountain. They were laws given to the Jews. Catholics/Christians adopted them and these commandments were further codified into secular law in most countries…at least the “civilized” ones.
