(6,843 posts)A divine message is NOT the same as literally taken word for word. So in your world, Robert Frost really WAS talking about a stroll through the woods and NOT his life choices. Pretty. Freaking. Sorry.
You also claim that Catholic and Protestant are essentially the same, when in fact, they are not, especially once Calvinism is introduced.
Transsubstantation, the corpa on a crucifix, the Order if the Mass, the Apocrypha, reconciliation, Apostolic lineage, faith AND works, etc.
You are right, we need to be done but not because my argument had changed, it has not. Catholic teaching has NEVER been a literal translation of the Bible. Jesus spoke in parables in a way that would deliver a message to the people of that time. The message conveyed is the truth and the divine, not the stories.
It's why Catholics don't say the world is 4000 years old.
