Even So All I did was point out the obvious. Are you saying that you don’t see the connection between the Reformation Principal of Sola Scriptura and people ‘discovering’ horrendous and anti-Christian concepts in Holy Scripture? Then what is it that you think it is that ‘allows’ these Christian leaders to develop these ideas unless it is their interpretations of the Bible?
There is no connection between scriptures being over tradition ( sola scriptura) and intentionally twisting scripture ( modernism) repeat NO connection.
What if one had to twist scripture from the beginning to break from orthodox tradition in order to start a new tradition of interpretation?There is no connection between scriptures being over tradition ( sola scriptura) and intentionally twisting scripture ( modernism) repeat NO connection.

Wasn’t that what Trent did
Is there a specific example would you like to provide?Wasn’t that what Trent did
Actually, no. Trent just re- stated what the Church had taught all along.Wasn’t that what Trent did
You should read Trent. Fully in line with all the other ecumenical councils, and Catholic tradition. Do not see how anyone can read Trent and feel that somehow Trent was different.Wasn’t that what Trent did
It’s not a new tradition of interpretation. They have completely rejected the authority of scripture. This has nothing to do with sola scriptura. It’s quite the opposite.
I agree. Although I think what the OP was trying to hint at was that it was made possible through the idea of sola scriptura alone, where people could read and interpret it themselves and come up with an infallible understanding on their own (hence tradition and apostolic succession to help us preserve what was originally handed down), but nevertheless, even if they followed sola scriptura, I believe they could still get close and it’s therefore surprising that such groups could be so far gone as to support things like Abortion and Same sex marriage.
I can tell you that the Episcopal Church does follow the Ten Commandments. I was brought up with him and believe in them.
Of course they do, as do the United Methodists.
Well then, they ought to follow them.
Do you follow all of them? Do you put God before everything else? Do you love your neighbor as yourself? Do you go to Mass every Sunday? Have you ever been jealous of someone else’s wife, possessions, etc.? Have you ever borrowed something from someone and not returned it? I’m not going to go through every Commandment.
I certainly wouldn’t claim I never break the commandments.
Do you support Christian clergy blessing an abortion clinic?
I don’t think any Catholic would disagree with you that there are other sins as well as abortion. That said the sin of procuring an abortion, or participating in such is a grave matter that can excommunicate oneself from the Church. That said, the requirements for a mortal sin would need to be met and only God can judge hearts
I’ve already said earlier in the thread that I don’t agree with abortion. Therefore, I do not support clergy blessing an abortion clinic.
