    Ultimate Authority

    In Catholic teaching the ultimate authority for all teaching is God. That needs to be unpacked a little I think. How does God communicate? through Jesus Christ first and foremost through the apostles who received their teaching from Christ through the bishops who succeeded the apostles through...

    Is China really as evil as our media says it is?

    China has a long history of government by emperors and its society is structured according to family and clan groupings, or has been for a long time even if in more recent times that has changed a little. Christianity arose in a society that was ruled by an emperor and had a history of kings as...

    Does answered prayer prove a theological point?

    When you experience a positive answer to your prayer does that give evidence that your prayer is acceptable to God with whatever theological implications that may have?

    When your team may lose in sports is it okay to pray that they will win?

    What is prayer for? Should a Christian spend "God's time" on trivial matters like letting one's sporting team win? Or is it right and proper for a Christian to petition God for matters that re, objectively speaking, not very significant?

    When is a vision a fairy tale that can be dismissed and when isn't it so?

    On the mount of transfiguration the Lord spoke with Moses and Elijah; Moses died near the end of the book of Deuteronomy and Elijah is said to have ascended in a chariot of some kind to heaven. Both were, I presume you'll agree, no longer Earthly people, yet they communed with Jesus in the...

    Was it a mistake for God to send Samuel to speak to Saul?

    Was it a mistake for God to send Samuel to speak to Saul? Or do you think that it was Fake-Samuel that appeared, some sort of demon? Or if it was the real Samuel, then what does that say about your theology regarding communion with the saints in heaven?

    Will you recognize your loved ones on the other side?

    No one has had much difficulty recognising Blessed Mary when she appears, nor has there been much uncertainty about who any of the saints who are reported to have appeared. So, I think that recognising one's loved ones in heaven and after the resurrection will be the norm.

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    In CH I am, on the whole, engaged with Protestants who - for the most part - receive only 66 books and ignore or discount the rest of the sacred canon so, for that reason, most of the time I quote from shared material. Jesus did something similar with the Sadducees, but I am not intending to...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    But we have very different bibles, there is no "the bible" between us; though you may have a better view of the deuterocanonical books and sections in Esther and Daniel than some. I also care about gay rights because all people deserve to be treated as image bearers of God, and because human...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Catholics have Catechisms to teach the faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives a fairly wide ranging presentation of Catholic teaching; it is sufficient for most purposes and answers most questions.

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    Apostle's creed is shorter, that is useful. :)

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    We use the Nicene creed for about 1/2 of the liturgical year and the Apostles creed for the other half. But we used to use the Nicene creed exclusively. It depends on the local priest and the parishioners' preferences.
