The catholic church sure did get pissy when people started trying to translate the Bible from Latin.

You should do more research on that. Clergy from the Roman Catholic Church were the first to translate the Bible into vernacular language. Hebrew to Latin. Greek to Latin. Latin to English. Latin to German.

I don't think your info is accurate. But, by all means, if you'd like to bash a Christian religion by spreading lies about it, please feel free to do so. We have dealt with this kind of Adversary before.

I hope they go to 16 teams because I'd like to see a Four-Loss Bama team in the Playoffs.

How can you fire a head coach who is about to SWEEP the Saints ??

That's true, so, the argument that College Professional Football needs better rules is a very sound argument.

My point is that the position of the RCC on a binding doctrine changed at the behest of the Pope, which is why Catholics can't minimize the authority of the Pope and speak to the rarity of ex cathedra statements.

---

Your argument fails and makes no sense because it is based on a false predicate.

No Pope can unilaterally change the Roman Catholic Catechism. No Pope has the authority to change the Catechism unilaterally. Pope has no power to do that, so, it is impossible to "minimize" his power there since his power is literally zero WRT to unilaterally changing the Catechism.

As such, your attempt to draw a nexus between the rarity of ex cathedra edicts with the catechism change for the death penalty fails.

Good try, though.

Now let's talk about the OP and stop hi-jacking this thread, shall we?

We've had this argument before.

As I've said previously, we have a Bible passage in which Jesus Christ Himself saves a woman from being lawfully stoned to death under the Law for the crime of Adultery.

Jesus saved her life. "Let he who is without Sin cast the first stone."

A theological argument can be made that Jesus opposed the Death Penalty, since he prevented the Law from being carried out.

We've had this argument before. We aren't going there again, Foo.

They'll be sorry after a US Federal Judge orders Maduro to be returned to Ven. and restored to power.

Not a dogma, but the Catholic Catechism has changed course on the death penalty.

---

The Death Penalty has always been controversial within the Catholic Church. I'm sure that it's controversial within the Protestant sects, also.

Does Jesus want man-made fallible Governments to put people to death by execution? I'm for the Death Penalty, personally, but, it's a controversial topic.

---

I know for a fact your Pope is not now, nor has never been infallible.

---

No Pope that I know of made statements like this Lutheran Pastor made. Sure, some Pope's have said some secular policy things that seem Leftist, but, nothing as weird as this Pastor.

Anyway, the last time any Pope did anything "Infallible" was back in November of 1950. Are you complaining about something a Pope did back in 1950?
