Roman church errors and inventions

[bbbbbbb]

Except the Chuch does have a consistant and clear faith defined in dogmas, doctrines, et cetera. I have found that young people really don't pay much attention to what they are being taught and it isn't surprising that people years later as adults don't really know much about what the Church teaches.

I think it best if Catholics try to stick with the Catechism and put blinders on to all of its history which has now been consigned to the dustbin of the Vatican. That includes such lovely dogmas and doctrines as the flat earth.

I don't think it is Catholics who put blinders on regarding history- afterall, "To know history is to cease to be protestant."

The theory of a flat Earth wasn't a dogma or a doctrine. It was a commonly held belief in the ancient world.

Only new agers don't know history and give authority to anything above the bible. That's not any kind of Christianity that I'm aware of.

I don't know of anyone that gives authority to something above the bible. I do know many Christians that do see the bible as their only authority, which is irrational and not part of traditional history.

Anything placed above Jesus is not accepted by Him. And he is the Word. Faith in action is in response to the HS but it must be checked by the word of God first.

Jesus isn't the bible- but again, I don't know anyone that places authority above the bible.

You certainly know man's doctrine well.

You seem to have sola scriptura down and tout it like a party line.

I believe the correct term in this instance would be solo scriptura.

Why not turn the other cheek and start a thread on 'Roman Catholics, all the great things their Church does as witness to the Faith?'

No takers ...?

I thought that those threads were on the Catholic pages.

Everyone knew the earth was a sphere since several hundred years before the birth of Christ.

I am not sure that everyone did know that, but it is a fact that many believed it to be true several hundred years before the birth of Jesus Christ. However, that fact did not stop the Catholic Church from declaring dogmatically that the earth was flat and that anyone such as Galileo Galilei who declared otherwise was a heretic and was to be excommunicated.

Gallileo was teaching heliocentricity. There was no dispute over flat vs. spherical earth.

Lest the thread go further astray, Gallileo advanced a theory. The science and instruments available to him were unable to prove it. His problem was stating something as undisputable fact that could not be scientifically proven.

Or maybe they weren't as wrong as current Protestants are?

Catholic Scholasticism of the middle ages was evil. However, modern Protestant Scholasticism has set us free from all the errors that Christians believed for 2000 years. <sarc>

That refers to it being a commonly held belief that the earth was flat.

It may have been commonly held by the uneducated, but science had proven long ago that the earth was a sphere.

A scientist in India calculated the circumference of the earth accurately with around 1% error around 1600 years ago. Greeks calculated the circumference within 100 miles accuracy before Christ was born.

The only people that believe that the ancients didn't know the earth was a sphere are the ones that write textbooks for American Public Schools.

I'm not wrong. Or am I?
