Has the Pope Committed Acts of Heresy?

[log]

because pulling the heresy card worked so well last time

The church decided in Vatican II to respect protestant denominations, so in a way they recognized that the reformation was just.

The church now actively encourages its members to use their own conscience and relationship with God over any authoritative provisional pronouncements given by the church. Of course they expect you to maintain respect for the church, but you don't need to follow a corrupt life because of corruption in the church.

...yes? but before 1960, they generally considered protestants heretical, with more zeal behind the claim the further back in time you go.


pulling the heresy card is not a good idea.

A more liberal pope is more than welcome in my books.

Commandments aside, religious doctrine is not enshrined in stone. If it were, a pope wouldn't be necessary at all.

Word up. It's fairly difficult to interpret the entire bible literally. Or at least I hope so lmao

It's completely impossible. If you interpret it literally then you come to the conclusion that the earth is only 6000 years old, which is physically impossible.

This is a serious discussion.

What is your question?

Physically impossible to believe that is the case? I believe it would be better for you to say it is disproven. Physically impossible to believe that is the case? I believe it would be better for you to say it is disproved. There are many "begats" in the Old Testament, it was originally hypothesized by a priest that the world was approximately this old based on his time back to the creation of Adam. I am not certain if there is a passage in the Bible stating the exact age of the Earth and the universe itself. However, it was also hypothesized by Catholic priest Georges Lemaître the theory of an expanding universe which would become the Big Bang theory.

So who's to say that traditionalist dogma isn't written with old society in mind? Maybe good ol' infallible pope is updating it?

There are no "updates" to the Bible. You do not update scripture you interpret it.

my question is do you like stones

Do you?

[Clownfish]

Do you?

yes

So how do you reconcile the fact that the Pope is infallible yet says things that disagree with traditionalist dogma?

I find it disturbing. I feel that it gives man more power over the word of God than the word of God itself. Even if the Bible was written by man for all whom call themselves followers of Christ.
