The absolute failure of paid Catholic writers to note any problems in papal writing is horrendous. The notes on the death penalty in Evangelium Vitae would receive a failing grade in a good school but no one says a thing ( EV cites the non death penalty parts of Gen.9:5-6... 4 times and hides from view the death penalty section which is central to the couplet). Likewise the cases I gave from Benedict.<br />Careers are protected by praising the emperor's new clothes. One result in the real world is that both men through their pacifistic resultant approach to the death penalty will get inmates killed worldwide by lifers for whom a murder in prison is a free kill wherever the death penalty can't be used against them after they kill in prison. Dept.t. of Justice figures give 70+ as the number of inmates murdered in prison per year....almost twice the number executed by states per year...c43. That is the pacifistic manipulation of violence in the Bible as being always sinful and not from God even when the Bible says it is from God via the last two <br />Popes with the misuse of historico critical tools....that manipulation of verses will get more inmates murdered as a free kill within prisons by lifers...Dahmer and Fr. Geoghan were both murdered by lifers in non death penalty states. Silent Catholic writers contribute to that in the future as they keep the last paragraph's promise of the Profession of Faith ( an oath resembling Lumen Gentium 25 but with lower thresholds).<br /> So dance on...at minimum we are getting more men killed in prison while Catholic writers warn of the very thing two Popes did to the Bible....unchecked.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-22054523447274596522013-07-14T22:24:52.165-04:002013-07-14T22:24:52.165-04:00Bill, Why "but"?

As far as expecting anything remotely resembling inerrancy from Rome under the last several Popes, you know better than that, I would think. Hahn is very good on inerrancy, even if he very much glosses over Benedict XVIs non-support of it.JFMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05496819581817926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-63236917354669278772013-07-13T18:57:30.608-04:002013-07-13T18:57:30.608-04:00But you'll find the damage in Verbum Dominiin ... But you'll find the damage in <i>Verbum Domini</i>in section 42 where Benedict implied that the massacres of the OT were not from God; stated that the prophets always challenged every form of violence ( bizarrely untrue...Elijah killed 552 men, Samuel killed Agag, Eliseus killed any who escaped Jehu...all willed by God); and...Benedict states..." we should be aware that the correct interpretation of these passages requires a degree of expertise, acquired through a training that interprets the texts in their historical-literary context.."<br /> Read section 42 once then twice. Popes can err <br />outside the context of infallibility which Verbum Domini is. The weakness of Catholic paid writing is that no one will show these dangers in papal texts...but simply as a general dark loud everywhere but there. Read section 40 of <i>Evangelium Vitae</i>. John Paul II similarly saw God mandated death penalties as really coming from Jewish culture and not from God.bill bannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737277581167437670noreply@blogger.com
