Truth and facts are not the same thing

[PRmerger]

I have yet to see in Scripture the word Magesterium.

You do realize, Pulvis, that since the Bible did not float down from heaven, leather-bound (and in KJV format!), on the wings of a dove, that you must rely on the Catholic Church’s Magisterium to tell you what the Bible is, right?

That is, you are giving your tacit submission to the authority of the CC each and every time you quote from the Gospel of Mark as theopneustos…and when you say, “The Shepherd of Hermas is not inspired.”

You would not know these things any other way.

Except that the CC told you so.
