The Church didn't make Peter anything. At this point in time, the Church didn't exist. Jesus does the building, not Peter. Peter and his successors were recognized by the entire world (schisms aside) as Chief Steward until the 16th century. The reformers' motive for the grammatical gymnastics...

2 Sam. 22:2-3, 32, 47; 23:3; Psalm 18:2,31,46; 19:4; 28:1; 42:9; 62:2,6,7; 89:26; 94:22; 144:1-2 – in these verses, God is also called “rock.” Hence, from these verses, non-Catholics often argue that God, and not Peter, is the rock that Jesus is referring to in Matt. 16:18. This argument not...

Matthew had a problem translating Aramaic to Greek. Jesus spoke Aramaic, not Greek. There are no constructive pronouns in Aramaic. Greek is not a divine language. A divine human language doesn't exist. ܐܴܦ݂ ܐܷܢܳܐ ܐܴܡܰܪ ܐ̱ܢܳܐ ܠܴܟ݂ ܂ ܕܱ݁ܐܢ̄ܬ݁ ܗ̄ܽܘ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܂ ܘܥܰܠ ܗܳܕ݂ܶܐ ܟܻ݁ܐܦ݂ܳܐ ܐܷܒ݂ܢܶܝܗ...

I think I've said this before. The Catholic Church has always taught the last 3 solas, you are just too hostile to notice. The only "fallacies" of doctrine you despise are the ones you invent. Your "Catholic Church" is a cartoon, it doesn't exist.

An inspired author can't be wrong, just imperfect interpreters. Short answer: We are morally obligated to defend human life using force (in your scenario), and death as a last resort. Long answer: ARTICLE 5 THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT 2265 Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty...

I did NOT have you in mind as a psychotic babbler of paranoid anti-Catholicism. But if the shoe fits... Are all Calvinists taught to attempt to disparage Catholics while despertatly trying to defend their "Calvinist errors" and religion? Or is that method unique to cyberspace?

By the authority of the Gospels. The Pope has no authority to change any laws anywhere, contrary to the psychotic babbling of paranoid anti-Catholics. the new version of the catechism states: Recourse to the death penalty on the part of legitimate authority, following a fair trial, was long...

Well, I can safely accuse you of failing to provide a link like I asked. "Debent duodecim sacerdotes" does not exist in any Vatican source, BECAUSE IT IS TOO ANTIQUATED. As for your quote, I found the link, after doing your work for you. First, it says the excommunicant has the option to...

Pope Francis didn't change anything, it's a development from what Pope John Paul II wrote. Basically, he wrote that the death penalty is outdated.

Not many of your posts are relevant to the flow of the discussion and off topic to the OP. I checked the New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia under the entry for anathema and excommunication. anathema: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01455e.htm excommunication...

“Catholic” or “Roman Catholic”? (Proper Titles) (w J. Akin) James Akin, a highly respected apologist from Catholic Answers explains in detail, proper titles. I will summarize. "Roman Catholic" is appropriate when used in relation to the Latin rite. "Roman" is appropriate when used in relation...

Jesus promised the gates of Hades will not prevail. Their are other indications that the Church will never lose her doctrinal fidelity. The Church is infallible and indestructible and God cannot lie. Pay attention to who is making these false prophecies.

My reasoning is that Pope John Paul II, with a heavy heart, excommunicated Archbishop Lefebre, . His reasoning is more correct then yours or mine. Reunification with the SSPX is a difficult struggle for the Church, but it seems to me the SSPX are not cooperative. I have written extensively on...

The Bible doesn't say any of that. "Bible alone" theology is a man made tradition, it isn't found anywhere in the Bible. That is a double falsehood. Falsehood #1 Your definition of "doctrine" is false, derogatory and a major straw man. In general, doctrine is all Church teaching in matters of...

The biblical definition of "first day of the week", even by Jewish standards is Sunday, something you make no mention of. "...as often as..." is not any specific day. The Bread and Wine sacrifice of the seder meal at Passover is one and the same sacrifice as the Crucifixion. Jesus didn't drink...

It's a problem trying to explain anything to a person whose mind is under control. You can't appeal to historical facts to phony man because his cult has their own history, and you can't appeal to Protestant scholars because his cult is anti-Protestant. Literal interpretation of Revelation...

We know the Holy Spirit gave us the Bible. What you are saying is the Holy Spirit had no need of people to discern authentic inspired books from the fake books (Gospel of Thomas, Epistle of Barnabas etc.), or write them in the first place, the complicated process of canonizing the books never...

None of your multiple topic rant has anything to do with your abuse of the term "Holy Tradition". You got caught in a lie so what do you do? Deny, deny, deny every word of my explanation. The Primacy of Peter is just an escape, a rabbit trail. Not understanding is one thing, refusing to...

That is a lie and I am quite sure it has been explained to you many times why it is a lie. There are bad traditions we must avoid, but Scripture also gives good traditions that St. Paul tells us to follow. There are two types of traditions in Scripture, focusing on just the bad ones and using...

"a martyr's damnation" is a senseless oxymoron, a contradiction of words. This page alone - #782-800, has 18 posts, with 16 different topics. Generally, its about scriptural authority and interpretations etc. Wycliff is a standard anti-Catholic derailer, a favorite bat to beat Catholics with...
