The One True...

Bryan Cross poses the following question for Protestants: “Does not even nature teach you that a visible body needs a visible head? If so, then does grace therefore destroy nature, or does grace build upon nature?”

As you can see from his trenchant question, Mr. Cross is a formidable logician. No wonder he’s pursuing a doctorate in philosophy.

But I’d note in passing that his inexorable logic doesn’t stop with that particular example. So before I attempt to answer his question, I’d like to ask him a parallel question:

Even nature teaches me that every body as a rectum. Therefore, what part of the Catholic Magisterium corresponds to the One True Rectum?

  2. They don't call them "rectories" for nothing, you know.

    Possibly the Protestants, since they're the offshoot of Catholicism

  5. Did you reach that conclusion a posteriori?

  6. I think that Bryan uses the proctological proof.
