SPLIT: "The Didache teaches almost nothing your Catechism teaches today."

[Church_Militant]

Please post where I made any assertion mentioning any extra-biblical teachings in the Didache.

Don’t bother, you cannot.

It is better to attack what I do not propose than what I do.

That is nonsense.

Furthermore, your statement that

No Real Presence.​

No Eucharist being the actual flesh and blood of Christ.​

Etc., etc., etc…​

is in fact irrelevant because your actual assertion was “The Didache teaches almost nothing your Catechism teaches today.” and I and my Catholic brothers and sisters have proved you dead wrong here, though you now seem to wish to change your assertion (which I will not allow you to do, short of a retraction.) to say that everything that is in the current catechism is not taught in the Didache, but that was never your position to begin with and since you have not retracted it as erroneous, appears to remain your position.

Had you made this new assertion initially, Catholics would have simply laughed at you, shrugged, and let it fall as the non point it actually is.

(To those interested, you actually will have to credit me with opening this thread, but only because it was off-topic where it was originally posted and had to be split off by the Mods.

However, the initial assertion is indeed a direct quote of Atemi’s and it appears that he intends to maintain that unsupported opinion regardless of the facts presented.)

No.

Post 109 is not yours?

I said that the the Didache teaches almost nothing the modern CCC teaches.

We all know this is fact

.
This is a specious argument as well.

Note the rash generalization (in red) presented as a given fact.

The discussion has never been about any of the things that you wish you can include, but about the fact that your initial position is an outright falsehood and has been proved so all through this thread.

An honest man will admit when he has misspoken, even if it is an oversight on his part.

You, on the other hand seem to wish Catholics question their faith based upon your unsupported opinions and essentially a-C propaganda. That may wash on other forums…but not here at CAF.

I deal in facts…and I don’t make assertions and allegations that I cannot support with facts. If you wish to refute my posts, you’ll need to do so with real, verifiable, facts because your opinion is nothing more than just that, your opinion and since you have not supported it with actual facts, I have no choice but to consider your opinions as non evidence.

If you make a statement about some aspect of the Catholic faith and cannot support it with facts, then at best you are putting forth ignorant assertions (something that I am not willing to believe of you based upon your posting history) and at worst are nothing more than another anti-Catholic propagandist, which IMV is a real shame.

• No priesthood.
• No infant baptism.
• No re-presentation of Christ to the Father again and again.
• No Real Presence.
• No Eucharist being the actual flesh and blood of Christ.
• Etc., etc., etc…

You have yet to respond to a single item on my list of non-Biblical traditions which the Didache contains. Is the Didachist a heretic for believing so many non-Biblical teachings?
