    Something about Byzantine ...

    Catholic Dogma, which means Christian teaching, is defined by various documents produced by the Catholic Church over the past two thousand years (approximately). Here is a brief summary of the views expressed on Dogma across the Catholic Church's sui juris churches. First, I shall list the rites...

    kingdom of heaven

    It was produced (or published for sale) by whom? This is more widely used Once, the Pharisees asked him when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered, “The coming of the kingdom of God will not occur with signs that can be observed. 21 Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For...

    Do you believe that ...

    Do you believe that hating some person, or especially some group damages your soul. As an example, I will mention that many people who have YouTube channels devoted to debunking Jehovah's witnesses, most of these channels present facts and are run by individuals who seek to help former JWs or...

    What criticisms should we give our pastors?

    not among ourselves, but perhaps face to face with our pastor (priest in my case) but before offering a criticism take the time to talk with your priest and see what's behind whatever you think of as a fault.

    Christian growth

    Decreased judgementalism, increased wisdom and increased kindness. Growth in prayer life, growth in tolerance of differences. Loss of the need to be the centre of attention. Those are some of the things I've seen and like to see.

    The development of Doctrine

    I can't take these posts seriously. It's just repeating the weak semi-fundamentalist argument made before, without any attempt to deal with the difference between Dogmatic Statement and catechetical explanations. Have at it, @Josiah, see who you can convince by these remarkably bad arguments.

    The development of Doctrine

    Nonsense 😆 For example, the dogma of the immaculate conception is still exactly as it was when first committed to writing but explanation of the dogma and catechesis about it varies from nation to nation and from language to language. Thus, there is an abundance of modification but no change...

    The development of Doctrine

    Cardinal Gibbons wrote: But did not the Vatican Council in promulgating the definition of Papal Infallibility in 1870, create a new doctrine of revelation? And did not the Church thereby forfeit her glorious distinction of being always unchangeable in her teaching? The Council did not create a...

    The development of Doctrine

    What you have is an Anglican and a Lutheran attempting to teach you what Catholicism "really teaches". It isn't worth too much, really.

    The development of Doctrine

    The Catholic Church hasn't changed its dogmatic statements of doctrine. Yet the Church continues to offer teaching and explanations that are suitable for the times and cultures in which it works. The development of doctrine is not about changing dogma. It is about clarifying issues that new...

    The development of Doctrine

    I guess your opinions change then, today you opine this way, tomorrow you may opine differently. But is there any continuity in your opinions or does the existence of change - no matter what sort of change - mean that it's a lie to say "my views have remained the same for many decades because...

    The development of Doctrine

    Nope, the CCC is 688 pages long, the standard edition is copyright 1997. Nearly every Catholic who has participated in RCIA (rite of Christian initiation of Adults) has read the CCC either in whole or in parts covering all significant Catholic teaching and liturgical practises. The opening...

    That isn't a sin

    It is not a sin to disagree with a bible passage. It is not a sin to disagree with official church teachings. It is not a sin to to miss a church meeting.
