My my, I go away for a little while and this thread just takes off and hits triple digits! I just popped in to say hello and to say I hope everyone is well!

Ok guys, the message has come through loud and clear. Certain folks are no longer wanted around here, so I bid thee all ado. God bless my friends, and good luck in all your endeavors! :) :wave: Before I go however, one last piece that shows the "global warming truthers" are in denial up to...

Considering those are all current defense contractors, it isn't surprising. Unless you'd like to add depth to your accusation? Maybe some facts? And before it comes up, no I'm not accusing you of anything, just wondering if you have more facts or not.

Hmmm, very interesting, thank you! When did it switch? Or maybe better, why did it switch? I would think a direct succession called for by the reigning pope would be quicker and easier with less "room for error" for lack of a better term, with less time between popes?

Basically. It's a deep seated appeal to authority that is well developed in our RCC brothers and sisters. If the Church didn't say it, it didn't happen....in a nutshell.

Wow, conspiracy theory much? Any evidence to back up this "hypothetical" mud slinging?

So there can't be, say a "pope in waiting" so there isn't a length of time with no pope?

Ok, so bottom line, can we all agree, there was no felony committed here and move on?

This may be a stupid question, but can a new pope be selected to follow a current pope, or is it something that has to wait for the current pope to pass away or retire?

Uh oh! It was "record breaking warm" in LA! You know what that means! Mqn-Made Global warming! Of course the record cold we had here on the east coast will just be "local weather" no doubt.... :doh:

Not sure why you're still posting here top. You haven't added anything but previously refuted assertions. Including the above...

Lol, no Barry, I'm far from upset, and Sola Scriptura has been shown from scripture throughout this thread. I don't need an external source for Sola Scriptura, as God doesn't appeal to anyone higher than Himself. If it's His word, what more do you need? I understand that you cannot provide the...

Then you should talk with Barry. He began this trail when he used begging the question to "prove" the RCC was the church at Pentecost. I'm disabusing him of this error. Though it is telling that what I asked for can't be produced...so much for sacred Tradition?

Then you basically just wasted time? Interesting, but ultimately useless, except in proving that this is an impossible feat correct?

Except I also asked for the quotes from each espousing the bodily assumption of Mary. Otherwise you just gave me a fallible and disputable list.

So you can't answer my question. Thank you! That's all I needed to know! :wave:

Ahem, perhaps read ALL of what I asked for. I could go get a copy and paste of what the RCC claims is the list, but that's only half of what I asked for.

No there hasn't, and you just proved my point! You just used circular reasoning to say the RCC is the church founded by Christ at Pentecost. Otherwise, if you think there's been this unbroken line, please provide for me this line, and a quote from every one of the bodily assumption of Mary.

Pretty much what all our RCC friends have fallen back to is an appeal to authority fallacy.
