I can think of no better remedy for such arrogance than a working knowledge of the Bible.
A "Supreme Court" cut adrift from its "Constitution" is a recipe for anarchy.
This is a momentous development.
And Pope Benedict in the speech said exactly that. The disease in the church is identical to the disease in the supreme court and their members going past the constitution as myths or ancient history in favor or modern psycho-babble or cathchisms writen by european lawmakers or comentaries written by the world court.
The disease in the church that was spoken a dozen or more times two days ago that the Bible is "inerrant but not literally" true is the same arguement liberal use about the constitution and the founding fathers.
One FR Catholic remaked how it was scarry that anone would beleive the bible was literal -- the same comment is made every day by liberals concerning people who literally believe the constitution.
IF the constitution was only written 230 years ago and people are so messed up and confused as to its meaning what do you think it will be like 1800 from now?
The single greatest thing that could be dome for all catholics and protestants is that all of their books about the bible all their comentaries and theologies would be burned.
Faced with the word of God alone everyone would have to seek Him for guidance instead of a cadre of dead men. And oddly enought they would discover the truth of the word of God.
I'm impressed by your remarks. -- You seem to grasp the situation well, and you even drew a comparision with it and the constitution few have been able to see any relation between what goes on in the church and the world. The church is made up of mortal men from the world, so they as strange as it may seem act and do worldly things. So as perversion comes down the pike like divorce and homosexuality it eventually shows up in the church sometimes a decade or two later, but it shows up.
Lord bless you too!
