In Answer to a Few Allegations on "Amredeemed"


[Not linking, a FB friend of mine did. I am reposting here a few things I posted under his status, on which he gave no response. my additions here are in saure brackets./HGL]

Here is one reference:

// Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. Cap. (The Pope can modify divine law.) Ferraris’Ecclesiastical Dictionary.” //

Now, the problem with this is, it's a phoney one. It cannot be identified.

[Ferraris can, see below, "Tranlatic Episcop. Cap." can't]

"The Catholic Church believes that the Bible is fallible and only the pope has authority to interpret it and his power is also above the Bible."


Not exactly true.

// “The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.” CCC 100 //


This reference CAN be verified. Now, it does not mean what the above given interpretation says it means.

"interpret authentically" doesn't mean everyone else is interpreting "inauthentically" or falsely, it means Magisterium is able to make interpretations that all Catholics need to accept as the authentic ones.

Which is also true. Not of Antipope Bergoglio, but of real Popes.

Here is a fuller overview, and unlike some other places, the §§ 96-100 make perfect Catholic sense:

IN BRIEF

96 What Christ entrusted to the apostles, they in turn handed on by their preaching and writing, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, to all generations, until Christ returns in glory.

97 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture make up a single sacred deposit of the Word of God" (DV 10) in which, as in a mirror, the pilgrim Church contemplates God, the source of all her riches.

98 "The Church, in her doctrine, life and worship, perpetuates and transmits to every generation all that she herself is, all that she believes" (DV 8 § 1).

99 Thanks to its supernatural sense of faith, the People of God as a whole never ceases to welcome, to penetrate more deeply and to live more fully from the gift of divine Revelation.

100 The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.


[NB, not sure the previous passages on same page all do]

Lucius Ferraris is an extant man:

What does "modify" mean? It doesn't exactly mean "change" it more like means apply a "modus" (measure) of sth.

For instance, the divine law says to keep vows. Popes can modify in what cases a vow is binding and in what cases it isn't or in what cases it can be dispensed with. They cannot simply say "you don't have to keep vows".

They must say things like "you need to keep vows if they were made in these circumstances" (meaning, not if they were made in other ones, like Luther's vow to St Anne in the storm), or "you no longer need to keep a vow if you have already tried this and failed" (like a vow to enter a monastery after already being rejected from one or two).

[Done, as I said above./HGL]
