That isn't true at all.

yeah it is. the theological framework was laid in Vatican 2 Lumen Gentium and Nostra Aetate, and the idea was later developed by Pope John Paul II in a speech in 1980 stating the Old Covenant 'has never been revoked'. This teaching was later formally included in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (No. 121), which states that the Old Covenant has never been revoked because God's gifts and call are irrevocable.

The old Covenant wasn't revoked, there is a new covenant too, ergo there are 2 covenants

Pretty sure that statue isnt Christ. Its a statue. I could see how if you were a person who thought it was a good idea to pray to, through, and bow down to statues it might get confusing though.

Interestingly, when the church fathers writings are surveyed about how they interpret Mathew 16:18-19, Peter was the rock 17 times. 16 times it was Jesus, 8 times it was all the Apostles together, and 44 times it was peters confession that Jesus was God that was the rock. In other words, 80% of the time it was not the Catholic position.

Also read Act 4:8-12. Peter himself says Jesus is the rock.

Acts 4:8-12

quote:
Acts 4:8-12

[8] Then Peter, [u]filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders, [9] if we are being examined today [v]concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, [10] let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that [w]by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, [x]whom God raised from the dead—by him this man is standing before you well. [11] [y]This Jesus(1) is the stone that was [z]rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.(2) [12] And there is [a]salvation [b]in no one else, for [c]there is no other [d]name under heaven given among men(3) by which we must be saved.”

Reminder to our Catholic friends

Posted by narddogg81 on 4/16/26 at 1:22 pm

You guys are obligated by papal decree to abandon antisemitism.

quote:
The landmark document Nostra Aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions) fundamentally reshaped this relationship.

Key Obligations and Shifts from Vatican II
Rejection of Collective Guilt: The Council formally repudiated the "deicide" charge—the idea that Jews as a whole, then or now, were responsible for the death of Jesus.
Condemnation of Antisemitism: The Church "decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone".
Affirmation of God’s Covenant: Vatican II affirmed that God’s covenant with the Jewish people remains valid and has not been "canceled" or "cursed".
Foster Mutual Understanding: Catholics are urged to engage in "fraternal dialogues" and "biblical and theological studies" with Jews to build mutual knowledge and esteem.
Social Justice Collaboration: Later guidelines, such as those from the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, emphasize that Jews and Catholics should work together for "social justice and peace at every level".

re: Why do people care about the Popes political views

Posted by narddogg81 on 4/15/26 at 11:32 am to StrongOffer

quote:
I can still respect him without agreeing with him. For infallibility and the Pope, we trust that the Pope has our best interest at heart, but he is a man like any of us. He sins and is wrong on things. We respect our father without having to agree with every position he takes. That is the official position of the Church. You say you know what the Church's stance on papal infallibility but want to conveniently slip it in their that we have to agree with his statement on the border or war. We don't. He isn't speaking ex cathedra.

quote:
Can. 752 Although not an assent of faith, a religious submission of the intellect and will must be given to a doctrine which the Supreme Pontiff or the college of bishops declares concerning faith or morals when they exercise the authentic magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim it by definitive act; therefore, the Christian faithful are to take care to avoid those things which do not agree with it.

by canon law, you are just not correct. The pope is teaching on morality of immigration enforcement. You are obliged to submit both your will and your intellect to that religiously, even if hes not intending to proclaim it officially.

And authentic magisterium specifically means non ex cathedra statements. Its also called ordinary magisterium.

Infallible/Extraordinary Magisterium: Specific dogmatic definitions (e.g., Ex Cathedra).
Authentic/Ordinary Magisterium: General authoritative guidance that is not infallibly defined.

Distinction from Infallibility: While the Ordinary and Universal Magisterium is infallible, the "authentic" or "ordinary" magisterium covers acts that are non-definitive.
Requirement: Catholics owe this teaching "religious assent" (obsequium religiosum).
Purpose: It is used to interpret and apply scripture and tradition to contemporary questions on faith and morals

Now, your opinion is the popularly stated one, and its the one that modern catholic online apologists like to promote, because their goal is not to be truthful about what the Catholic Church officially teaches but rather to get evangelicals to convert, because evangelicals are the ones that actually evangelize and bring in new converts. The other problem is most Catholics dont really know what the Catholic Church teaches. The ones who do know are not honest about it and the rest dont know any better

quote:
Every non-Catholic who thinks we Roman Catholics are bound by every word leaving the Pope’s mouth needs to Google “ex cathedra.”

(Many Catholics also need to look it up.)

I do agree Catholics need to look up what they are obliged to believe

quote:
Can. 750 §1. A person must believe with divine and Catholic faith all those things contained in the word of God, written or handed on, that is, in the one deposit of faith entrusted to the Church, and at the same time proposed as divinely revealed either by the solemn magisterium of the Church or by its ordinary and universal magisterium which is manifested by the common adherence of the Christian faithful under the leadership of the sacred magisterium; therefore all are bound to avoid any doctrines whatsoever contrary to them.

§2. Each and every thing which is proposed definitively by the magisterium of the Church concerning the doctrine of faith and morals, that is, each and every thing which is required to safeguard reverently and to expound faithfully the same deposit of faith, is also to be firm-ly embraced and retained; therefore, one who rejects those propositions which are to be held definitively is opposed to the doctrine of the Catholic Church.

Can. 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith; apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; schism is the refusal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him.

Can. 752 Although not an assent of faith, a religious submission of the intellect and will must be given to a doctrine which the Supreme Pontiff or the college of bishops declares concerning faith or morals when they exercise the authentic magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim it by definitive act; therefore, the Christian faithful are to take care to avoid those things which do not agree with it.

For those that didn't know the bizarre jargon, solemn magisterium means supposed infallible ex cathedra, and ordinary/authentic magisterium means all other kinds of teaching.

I voted for and expect Mass Deportations of illegal alien invaders

you might want to rethink that. The Pope has indicated that ICE enforcement is a moral issue and is teaching the opposite of what you voted for. Canon 752 says you have to submit your will and intellect to the Pope in all his pronouncements, ordinary magisterium or solemn magisterium, or risk the sin of schism, as it's defined in canon 751

That's the downside of shackling your conscience not to just what has been taught but to anytime that might be taught in the future

I was never on board with exporting US crude oil. We should be using up foreign oil while sitting on ours (or at least limiting to US consumption). I'd rather be the last nation with significant domestic reserves than one of the first to run out. I'm fine with US refineries being tooled to consume Canadian and Venezuelan crude, but ramping up crude exports seems like a long term mistake. Having abundant, cheap energy when rivals have scarce, expensive energy is a giant strategic advantage.

im old enough to remember that they said we would have already run out of oil like 3 different times by now
