2) Ordinary Magisterium: this second form of Church teaching is continually exercised by the Church especially in her universal practices connected with faith and morals, in the unanimous consent of the Fathers and theologians, in the decisions of the Roman Congregations concerning faith and morals, in the common sense of the Faithful, and various historical documents, in which the faith is declared.
There is no unanimous consent of the early fathers....unless the roman catholic has redefined the meaning of unanimous.
Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned." Matthew 16:15
Is this to imply that only the catholic priest can do this?
Two for sure "ex-cathedra" dogmas had to do with Mary. Amazing.
It need only be added here that not everything in a conciliar or papal pronouncement, in which some doctrine is defined, is to be treated as definitive and infallible. For example, in the lengthy Bull of Pius IX defining the Immaculate Conception the strictly definitive and infallible portion is comprised in a sentence or two; and the same is true in many cases in regard to conciliar decisions." 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia, Infallibility
So which parts are legit and which parts are not?
Man, catholics can confuse the simple message of the Gospel so much.
I have some additional articles to post in future days. Keep thinking and maybe the answers will come to you.
“MUST be believed by all Catholics”
why are you worried about whether the Magisterium even exists?
does the Magisterium get to live rent free in your head?
do you find you can’t escape it?
For the Greater Glory of God and His Magisterium
Yes.
Such pronouncements are made when others challenge Catholic teaching and promote heretical views. Non-Catholics like to do this with teachings regarding Mary. Therefore, these "two for sure" having to do with Mary were necessary to define in response to that heresy.
The problem I see with many Catholics is they always trot out these two pronouncements as the only infallible teachings of the Church. They could not be more wrong.
Those verses in the article in no way indicate a magisterium.
The passage in Acts says that Paul and Barnabas and others were welcomed by not only the apostles and elders, but the whole church.
Fixed it for you.
