Do you accept

[thessalonian]

Wrong on any infallible decrees from councils or Popes?
Wrong on anything that comes under ordinary magesterium?

The answer to these questions is no.

Wrong regarding practice, discipline, or administration. Perhaps.

Since you didn't specify, I didn't vote. Yes, if the Church was wrong on an infallible declaration that Jesus Christ was wrong and was not God. I say that with all confidence. The preponderance of evidence for me makes the chances nil.

[quote name='drforjc' date='Mar 10 2005, 04:06 PM'] Thanks for the clarification, but I'd like to add in your example about the Arian heresy that the Roman See never embraced or taught Arianism.

The other thing to remember is that people have tried to use this type of argument to, for example, assert that since a majority of the faithful support using ABC, that this is some kind of "sensus fidei" that could somehow overrule the Magisteral teaching on the subject. This is totally fallacious because, unlike the Arian example, it involves [b]reversing[/b] previously defined doctrine. In the Arian controversy, the sensus fidei was legitimate in that it [b]repeated[/b] the orthodox doctrine. [/quote]
I have been thinking. I wanted to thank you for making me clarify me earlier position. Sometimes we overspeak when we want to make a point. I think that we both are saying the same thing, but when (especially when) we are in an interfaith dialouge we must be careful about the way we word things. Once again thank you for correcting me.

[quote]Do you accept that the Catholic Church could possibly be wrong?[/quote]

Well, no, the Catholic Church wouldn't be wrong, we would be wrong because we believed it. Do I accept that I could possibly be wrong? Well considering the diverse number of religions throughout the world, and the billons of people who, like Catholics, are convinced in themselves of their beliefs, I would say yes. Some people may call it a lack of faith, but it would be true for the majority of the world.

[FutureSoror]

No, I see no possibility for the Catholic Church to be wrong. There was a time when I wasn't sure, but I have questioned it enough and learned enough about it since then to wash away my doubts and fears and convince me that This is THE CHURCH! There can be no other way.

Does dairygirl accept that the Catholic Church is right?

[Fidei Defensor]

No. Its not wrong. If it is, depending on what it is wrong about, it could mean all of the protestant churches are wrong too.

[quote name='p0lar_bear' date='Mar 10 2005, 08:47 AM']I am willing to entertain the possibility that the Catholic Church is wrong in making the Swiss Guards wear those multicolored outfits with the puffy pants.[/quote]
Brilliant!

[MagiDragon]

well . . . actually, yeah it *could* be wrong though. It would have to be talking about something unrelated to faith or morals though . . .

Peace,

The Church doesn't speak about anything but Faith and Morals. Leaders in the Church do.

God bless,
