The Infallible Interpreter Of Scripture?

*yawn* more nonsensical fundamentalist rhetoric. Do you get this banal straight stuff from your pastor or James White? Maybe Boettner? There has got to be an issue of his text on Catholicism somewhere in your house. You are getting non-responses because you wont enter into real debate because you know you will lose. Honestly, you are not smart enough to debate anyway based on the stuff you post here and you are quickly wandering into troll territory. Take your inane comment about the Church only formally defining 2% of scripture. You assume that the Church has said nothing about the other 98%. We have heard it all before and it is utterly baseless because you have completely missed the point of ecclesiastical infallibility because you do not understand the nature of the Church or her relationship with the bridegroom, Jesus.

If you want to have a real dialogue on this particular topic, start here by informing yourself.

Until you can learn to dialogue on topics you know nothing about, your arguments carry as much weight here as Charles Manson or Jim Jones. Sure, you have yourself convinced we are all going to hell, but we see right through your house of cards.

Still yet another non-response. It's still all yada yada yada. This poster assumes he has the knowledge to dialogue on the topics I've discussed, but doesn't give one sentence to refute anything I've said except to throw a couple of articles at me from EWTN, thinking he has accomplished something. And with all I know about Catholicism, it was ludicrous for you to assume that I think the church has not said anything about the other 98% of the Bible that she has not "officially defined". Of course I know she has! And all of her non-infallible comments on the other 98% are precisely on the same level as Protestant non-infallible comments. They are non-infallible.
The big error though is the idea that God's word needs to be "officially defined". It's already infallible as is, and doesn't need to be be further "infallibly defined" ex-cathedra.

I'm still trying to understand why a person who simply once in chat showed to sympathize with the SSPX society and who won't take part in the forum anymore (and I would add a member who wrote a lot of beautiful, orthodox and charitable posts) has gained an unyelding Phishy Warning Tag until the end of his life while members like MichaelFilo or Shadyrest are welcomed as Phatmassers or PM newbie.

Ok, if these members can't be banned from Debate Table, I won't take part in it by my own will.

Once again, more dead air. This poster wants me banned from the debate table because.....
[i]I am debating???????[/i]

It's simply so obvious you do not have the ammunition, the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, to arm yourself with (Eph 6:17).

the rest of the paragraph is:
"There remain therefore many things, and of the greatest importance, in the discussion and exposition of which the skill and genius of [color="#FF0000"]Catholic commentators[/color] may and ought to be freely exercised, so that each may contribute his part to the advantage of all, to the continued progress of the sacred doctrine and to the defense and honor of the Church. "

Isn't this what you want? For individuals to be able to interpret for themselves?

I told you before that I'm not diminishing the office of a teacher. I have 10 commentaries of my own!
But how frustrating indeed it is that after I am condemned for submitting a comment from my own commentary, that you think non-infallible [i]Catholic commentators save the day![/i]

[i]Anyway, you're all avoiding my original post. How can you possibly believe, for example, that tradition (which no one can even identify!) must be on the same level as Scripture?![/i]
[i]This is nothing but an excuse to support any and all catholic doctrine and then revert to that old stand-by, "tradition" to justify it anytime they feel like it. It's such an easy escape route. To use the other poster's words, "I can see right through your house of cards". [/i]
