MagiDragon Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 [quote name='Benedict' date='Jan 9 2005, 01:59 PM'] That line works against that whole "the Catholic Church's teachings are XX% man-made traditions". [/quote] yes, but many things in Catholicism are seeming contradictions. in this case, the line is merely a repetition of the 'Jesus is 100% God and 100% man' paradox. the logic holds. Peace, Joe
ironmonk Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 [quote name='dairygirl4u2c' date='Jan 9 2005, 01:31 AM'] I'm just curious. [/quote] Never. I know that if I disagree with the Church I would be wrong. There are times that I have been corrected, but never will, and never had thought myself wiser than the Church. Seeing that some here believe that they have, I wonder if they confuse dissent with struggle or fail. "Express dissent" is to knowingly disagree - disprove of... Luther gave express dissent when he posted his 95 Thesis of lies and half truths on a door. Calvin gave express dissent when he was not loyal to the teachings from whom him learned them and left the Church. God Bless, ironmonk

Peace, Joe [/quote] Sorry, but nothing in the Catholic Church teachings are contradictions. There are contradictions in what non-Catholics believe the Church teaches, but no contradictions in Catholic Church teaches.... the Catholic Church is the only Church with a harmony of both OT and NT.

Don John of Austria Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 I think she was asking if anyone ever expressed dissent with your theological views not if you ever dissented fromthe Churches, at least that is how I understood the question.
Benedict Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 Yes, Don John, that was the question. How often do others express dissent to Catholic teaching?
cathqat Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) [quote name='dairygirl4u2c' date='Jan 9 2005, 12:14 PM'] do you mind me asking who actually challenges all you in person on a daily basis? [/quote] Friends, family, acquaintances, total strangers.... I even once exchanged several personal letters with an anti-Catholic Fundamentalist that my roommate met in an airport *LOL* Edited January 10, 2005 by cathqat
Phatmasser777 Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 (edited) [quote name='Aluigi' date='Jan 9 2005, 04:22 AM'] that idea of not ascribing to any religion was invented by man [/quote] Duh like everything else. Except its not a religion Edited January 10, 2005 by Phatmasser777
jasJis Posted January 11, 2005 Posted January 11, 2005 phatmasser777, That has got to be the silliest and most narrow minded view possible. It's saying that if 1,000 people agree, and 1,000 people disagree, it must be wrong and you choose the people who disagree. In fact, you side with all the people who disagree based on no facts or logic or analysis, but a desire to avoid the wrong choice by attempting to make no choice. The result is you only choose what's wrong because you won't allow yourself to choose what may be right if others claim it's wrong. Silly. dairygirl, are you surprised by the amount of theological challenge Catholics get?
