Right, . . . now as I read you're reply . . .
This has to be the most ignorant religious Protestant reply ever.
CCEL is nothing more than a propaganda filled anti-Catholic website.
I believe nothing on their web pages, and neither should you.
Why not go directly to the source
http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htmThen go to the other reasonable historical websites and read and learn from what they have written on this subject.
The Catholic Church is a slow moving river, it is orthodoxy religious doctrinal things change very slowly.
And you can bet 100% that they don't plagiarize and forge Historic encyclical documents, or Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals and Isidore Mercator manuscripts:
The Catholic Church did not make or endorsed these heresy's documents as you read the factual information.
Look at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Isidorian_Decretalsand the
http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100012252http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05773a.htmThey say as much. These were men, that created forgeries to benefit their own material needs.
And the CCEL website is exploiting these forgeries for anti-Catholic propaganda.
You should be ashamed for even posting this compost hog-wallop trash...
This is nothing more than tabloid reporting trash at the checkout stand at the grocery store...
Rose this is how low you go to meet your fundamentalist lying agenda.
You are really a dislikable undermining person.
The Catholic-Universal Church is Christian.
And if you think that all other faiths also recognize that the catholic faith is Christian, the Original Christian Church founded by Jesus Christ, the Apostles, Bishops, Priest etc.
And that your little secular subject of Protestantism can dictate your fundamentalist belief's here on this OPP religious website, you are mistaken.
For far to long the 5 horse-men horse women of the Protestant apocalypse have getting away with denigrating people, and religious faiths.
You cant prove one thing that you say, you provide no real tangible facts or evidences to show that the information you provide is real and or true . . .
Every thing that you say is geared towards anti-catholicism.
You are a prepaying record, for anti-Catholic website and you provide no reasonable authentic URL website information.
All you hide behind is your own little bubble and deflect the real questions.
You throw words inflammatory hateful speech bigoted and religious prejudicial anti-Catholic rhetoric, like it is common place language.
No rose, Catholics are Christians and the History the traditions prove this as much.
You are completely wrong. as with the implication of such idiotic speech.
I would love to have you show the forgeries, scientifically, all you are, is a man-made dead literal Protestant fundamentalist wacko "Blow-Hard."
