    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    The purpose of the CCC is to help local bishops prepare Catechisms for the instruction of the faithful. Josiah is correct to reference the CCC and he is incorrect to launch into hyperbole about section 87 being the most stressed dogma of the Catechism Catholic Church. Hyperbole is an act. It's...

    Is there a Calvinist who thinks he/she is not Elect?

    That is an error in your thinking. Denominations belong to the world of Protestant sectarianism.

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    The Catholic Church documents its official teachings in writing. The documents of the 21 ecumenical councils are primary documents from which Church Dogma is drawn, the Holy Scriptures are the foundation revelation from God and hence are fundamental to the documents of the 21 ecumenical councils...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Post 143 says: I read post 143, twice as you suggested. ;) And still it is hard to escape the facts, Josiah. Still it is the bishops who are the teachers of the Catholic Church and not local school teachers. And still it is the official teaching of the Catholic Church in the many documents...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    Section 87 of the CCC is not the most stressed dogma of the Catechism Catholic Church. Read in context the "pastors" referred to in section 87 are the bishops of the Catholic Church and not the school teachers in a local parish school. It looks like Josiah has both overemphasised the...

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    "The Church" wasn't your teacher, a teacher was, a man or a women who was either well informed or not so well informed and you & Josiah offer your recollections of school days incidents as what "the Church" taught despite knowing that it was a teacher or teachers who you recollect as teaching...

    Pray to be worthy.

    "be worthy" "be made worthy" and "be accounted worthy" are all possible meanings for the word in Greek but "be worthy" is the closest without adding extra words. To be made worthy is not egoism, it is grace. To be accounted worthy is not egoism nor humility but grace and "worthy" is grace. No...

    Is there a Calvinist who thinks he/she is not Elect?

    The negation of TULIP is not the same as affirming human perfection, universal salvation, or supreme human will but election could be conditional the condition being repentance and faith both of which are given by God as graces and perseverance in the faith is certainly effort requiring.

    Grace is never alone, but grace is no heresy. The heresies are in TULIP.

    Is there a Calvinist who thinks he/she is not Elect?

    Equally I can say that you are enmeshed in Calvinist heresy and the devil has your soul until God - in his grace - frees you from the wicked system that has imprisoned your mind, heart, and will.

    Is there a Calvinist who thinks he/she is not Elect?

    You say that a lot and yet when read in context nothing of the evident meaning of the passages changes. You'd need to make a convincing case if you want to make that claim here.

    "Catholic Answers" Why Did Luther's Heresy Persist?

    There's a very simple and relatively easy way to answer Josiah's question. Write a letter (or an email) to Catholic Answers addressed to the chap who hosted the program and ask what he meant by "Luther's heresy" after citing the YouTube URL for the video and explaining what was causing...

    Is there a Calvinist who thinks he/she is not Elect?

    Self deception is always a present risk and the holy scriptures warn not to think one is standing lest he fall. It is part of being aware of one's own capacity for deception of one's self.
