>>the pillar and foundation of truth<<

What does a pillar do? It upholds something doesn’t it. It doesn’t create something or define something. It upholds or supports what is there. It’s the same for a foundation. It doesn’t generate something. It supports what has been built. The RCC wants people to think that it generates truth. That it can edict something which isn’t in scripture and the followers must believe it. Mariology is completely made up by the RCC using age old pagan rituals and beliefs. It has no foundation in scripture. What the RCC wants followers to believe about “the pillar and foundation of truth” is a fallacy.

The Catholic Church has NEVER, EVER taught that or supported that idea.

That it can edict something

Is "to edict" a sort of Protestant verb? like "to fellowship?"

blah, blah, blah. The facts are that those who reject Christ’s teachings reject the Church and the wanderings from the teachings of Christ through His apostles leads to kooks like the Raelians, Benny Hinn and the like...

Nonsense.

The makers of Royal Crown Cola want people to think that their product is a tasty beverage.

Not in biblical symbolism. Throughout Scripture a pillar is used as a symbol of God's presence and law.
