How many times will this canard be trotted out after it has been repeatedly pointed out that this is not Catholic teaching?
______________________________________________
Nonsense. At some level it MUST be part of Catholic teaching. The authority of Rome rests on the assumption that the hierarchy (taken as a body) cannot be wrong on matters of central importance (like dogma). If God can permit it to be wrong, then it implies that any aspect of Church teaching could be wrong due to the “’fallibility of men”. That’s a very shaky foundation to build ‘The True Church”’ upon.
The conflation of True Church and Catholic Chruch needs addressing. The One True Church is made up of ALL BELIVERS since the day of Pentecost when The Holy Spirit began indwelling believers. The Roman Catholic Church is a sham designed to use Christ to empower a hierarchy of men spouting traditions.
