Their novel doctrines were condemned by an Ecumenical Council. The Church continued the apostolic tradition.

Yah, it is just taking longer to deal with the Catholic novelties.
Anyhow, it looks like that is it for me on this thread…thanks for the discussion. Randy, thank-you too. May God bless you both.

No Ecumenical Council will ever condemn an infallible Catholic doctrine. Perhaps you consider the dogma of the Holy Trinity or Hypostatic Union a novelty.Yah, it is just taking longer to deal with the Catholic novelties.

What is most novel is making suspicion an integral part of one’s faith. Catholics being the continuous holders of the apostolic succession have no reason to doubt the truth we have. It is only those who do not want to believe the plain words of scripture that tell us to embrace the handed down traditions that must second guess and doubt anything. But that is the very essence of liberalism and protest - imagine problems that do not exist and then go create solutions to them or prove themselves out of their faith for lack of paper evidence.Yah, it is just taking longer to deal with the Catholic novelties.

God says in the OT that he will give this sign…
I find it very telling that God who created Adam, then made Eve from him and gave them to each other; God who gave man the joy and union of sex to be enjoyed in marriage (outside of it brings no joy and no union at all!), chose to be born of a virgin and he himself remained a virgin. Some think that St. Joseph was also a virgin not much older than Mary…
Very telling in our day in age where the message from many quarters seems to be sensuality, ‘the right’ of sexual gratification irrespective of God’s law, etc. …
My thinking also is that the whole Christian/Catholic belief in the Incarnation must be true as none of the man-made religions of before had God become man like this (think of Zeus’ adulteries, rapes, etc.) and quickly fell before the religion of God made man…
