Oh sure, and KATHOLICOS is a Greek breakfast cereal. See Romans 1:8 additional reading: The word Catholic The word Catholic was first coined by Ignatius of Antioch, a direct hearer and disciple of the Apostle John: Where the bishop appears, there let the people be, just as where Jesus Christ...

quoTE="Stranger, post: 568149, member: 7282"]No. You didn't. You twisted words and Scripture to sooth your conscience that the word 'catholic' is there. But it isn't. Where's the blue large words? Shout louder and throw more bs on it. Perhaps many will be convinced. But both you and I...

Your tolerance for idiocy never ceases to amaze me.

First, I am a Catholic. I happen to practice in the LATIN Rite. Rites are determined largely, but not exclusively, geography. There are Byzantine Catholics in my city. A Roman Byzantine Catholic is a joke, but Stranger doesn't get it. I stand with BofL on this matter. When the apostles brought...

"It is written" supports the authority of Scripture as a Tradition. When Jesus quoted the OT He taught what it meant, He never let the Scriptures teach themselves. Your reply has nothing to do with the quote.

You abuse the word "Rome" because, after all this time, you still use it in the derogatory sense and none else.

The catechism gives additional definition to "Tradition", it predates the modernist revised definition by 2000 years: CCC76-80 Footnotes: 35 DV 7 § 2; St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 3,3,1:pG 7/1,848; Harvey,2,9. 36 DV 8 § 1. 37 DV 8 § 1. 38 DV 8 § 3. 39 DV 8 § 3; cf. Col 3:16. 40 DV 9. DV, or Dei...

Arguments persist as long as objectors change the meaning of Tradition. That is using a straw man fallacy. A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not...

John 1:32 – when Jesus was baptized, He was baptized in the water and the Spirit, which descended upon Him in the form of a dove. The Holy Spirit and water are required for baptism. Also, Jesus’ baptism was not the Christian baptism He later instituted. Jesus’ baptism was instead a royal...

No, I was in a psychiatric facility. I have bipolar disorder.

Let me get this straight so I understand you. The only recorded dispute regarding infant baptism in the late 3rd century was whether or not it should occur exactly 8 days after birth, keeping the scriptural Jewish tradition of circumcision. Luther and Calvin baptised infants. So if infant...

Wrong. BofL doesn't like your single derogatory use of the prefix "Roman", and neither do I. Stop being such a bigot. The question is just as stupid as me demanding 'do you answer to your pastor or not' (who ever he may be that day). . Again, referring to the 23 rites of the Universal Church as...

It is you that refuses to understand the multiple senses that the prefix "Roman" is used. "Do you answer to the Roman Pontiff or not" is standard invincible ignorance that anti-Catholics have in their pathetic understanding of the relationship Catholics have with the Pope. You have a habit of...

MUNIFICENTISSIMUS DEUS DEFINING THE DOGMA OF THE ASSUMPTION November 1, 1950 1. The most bountiful God, who is almighty, the plan of whose providence rests upon wisdom and love, tempers, in the secret purpose of his own mind, the sorrows of peoples and of individual men by means of joys that...

Let's level the playing field. Is there Scripture substantiation that every practice, devotion and doctrine must be substantially found in scripture to be valid? No, there isn't any. It's a man made Protestant tradition. Your premise is not in the Bible but you demand we play by your rules. ***...

That is your opinion. 1 Peter 5:13. AT THAT TIME, Babylon was a code word for pagan Rome. Where does the verse say Peter wrote from? Are you reading it with the bias of man made Protestant tradition? There is nothing wrong with "Tradition". Paul talks about good Tradition. But you use the term...

It seems that the last few times you have replied or quoted me, you are looking for a fight. Your definition of Pelagianism is only half true. Sorry, but the Encyclopedia Britannica gives a more complete explanation, supporting what I said about the heresy. "...Celestius, a disciple of Pelagius...

The central authority of the Church never began in Rome. It began with the Apostles in Jerusalem. It was no longer the seat of authority after the death of James. Peter could have been sent to any city. If Peter went to establish a primary church in Joppa, you would call us "Joppa Catholics" or...

We have biblical evidence of Jesus Himself changing the name of Simon bar Jonah to Peter, which means "ROCK". Paul was always subject to the Church, not the other way around. Why can't it be BOTH Peter AND Paul building the Church in Rome??? Sure, there were Christians in Rome before the...

It's not a dogmatic statement. It's a theological phrase. "The glory of God is man fully alive" was written by Saint Irenaeus who lived in the second century. This quote is rightly celebrated as one of the most profound incites into theological anthropology – a five dollar term for the theology...
