I couldnt remember this part from the first time through LOL . This is the whole or most of your edit right?
It very well supports and confirms my point, unless I misunderstand. copied as post script.
Sorry you missed my edit, I think it was done with in about 5 minutes after I originally posted.
ps;
If Pope Infallible X says burn Tyndale it is by definition the will of God and can be niether sin nor mistake, correct? That Pope Infalliable did not personally give the order makes no difference. If this action was wrong,in the eyes of God, then Pope Infallible X sinned, but more importantly infallibilty is shown for the fraud it is. Yes?
It is not under dispute (in my eyes) that the RCC did in the past sin by persecuting people such as Tyndale. One might even make the argument that they also sinned by claiming that God indirectly ordered these persecutions. Though, I would need to do more research to know for sure.
The RCC will answer for their past sins, which includes sins done via ex-cathedra.
However, I would like to borrow a quote from Pilgrim that captures my feeling quite accurately.
Thus, for me the entire subject of what the Roman State Church did hundreds of years ago which is no longer practiced today is a mute issue.
The RCC no longer persecutes people and they also allow the laity to own and read Bibles.
The pope still operates ex-cathedra as his statement that declared that Protestant denominations are not true churches and that the RCC is the only true Church. This can be seen
here .
I was actually fairly pleased that the current pope said this, mainly because the previous pope often seemed more inclusive when it came to the Church as a whole.
The current pope’s language is actually not as deceptive as the previous pope and therefore one isn’t as easily deceived.
The bottom line is let’s concern ourselves with false doctrines that the RCC still holds, such as ex-cathedra (without persecution) and the doctrine of justification.
