"Most scholars since the time of Pius IX have, therefore, held that Unam Sanctum, while an authentic teaching, is not infallible and is, in fact, no longer considered the teaching of the Church". Found on a random Catholic forum.

But, not, ironically on THIS thread where the author cites Boniface's decree as if it is STILL the teaching of the Catholic Church. Why are Catholics contradicting themselves? How can something be called "an authentic teaching" but no longer considered the teaching of the Catholic Church? Sounds like a case of rationalization and double-talk.

The Catholics are always tauting tradition

Of the church fathers, etc.

So everything a pope says must be seem as part of their tradition.

And they say that tradition is EQUAL to the scriptures, and sometimes say it is more important.

Scripture is never wrong, and never changes.

Jesus Christ, the same today, yesterday, and forever.

Catholic Tradition changes.

The ONLY thing that could validate it would be consistency.

There is none unfortunately.

I love Christianity, it is so simple.

Believe in Jesus, follow Him and you are born again and have a PERSOANAL relationship with him.

It is so glorious and joyful I don't understand why all who call themselves Christian don't embrace the simplicity of having Jesus in them, and them in Jesus.

What an undeserved privilege it is!

I never could understand putting a denomination between a believer and Jesus as if that is the most important thing in a Christian's life.
