Years ago, we pitched and strawed our feet and walked to the coast to fish and gather seaweeds and other tantilizing treats, killed deer and other animals, smoked fish and danced til dawn! We thought this life God The Great Spirit gave us was fine!<br /><br />Now we have to hassle about all this?<br /><br />Ok, so be it! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-85152308087641469212010-01-24T11:34:47.528-05:002010-01-24T11:34:47.528-05:00natamlic: "I would to God more Catholics wou...<b>natamlic</b>: <i>"I would to God more Catholics would turn Pomo!"</i><br /><br />You may wish it, but not me. No way. No way!<br /><br />Of course, I would to God that more Catholics would turn 5-Sola Reform Protestant Christians, but if given the choice between them remaining (conservative) Catholics and turning Pomo, I'd much rather them remain conservative, traditionalist Catholics.<br /><br />Incidentally, I have heard that some pomo Emergers, after having been liberal Emergers for some time, convert over to Eastern Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism after a while. I.e., pomo liberal emerging churches are a recruiting ground for Orthodoxy or Catholicism!Truth Unites... and Divideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891402278361538353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-56880597263369308042010-01-23T16:00:31.532-05:002010-01-23T16:00:31.532-05:00Just from a personal digression, Peter, I kinda li...Just from a personal digression, Peter, I kinda like the way pomos assert things, post 1840s, 1950s, modernity and post-modernity, just the same! :)<br /><br />I would to God more Catholics would turn Pomo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-67764571950880404002010-01-23T14:08:29.557-05:002010-01-23T14:08:29.557-05:00Steve said:

Both approach a text and say that it is impossible for someone to read it correctly with any degree of certainty.<br /><br />Now obviously the ramifications of the two systems are different. Pomos assert that we cannot interpret any text today to gain objective meaning, so we have to reconstruct it however we see fit; Roman Catholics assert that we cannot interpret the Bible today to gain its objective meaning, so we have to have the Magisterium tell us what it means. So the outcome is different.<br /><br />But the root idea--that it is impossible for a text to convey objective meaning on its own--is the same in both instances.Peter Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11792036365040378473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-25779680274173333072010-01-23T13:52:45.817-05:002010-01-23T13:52:45.817-05:00You have stated the case for why we have such vari...You have stated the case for why we have such variants of the Gospels and the Epistles as well as the histories as told in the Old.<br /><br />My guess is you are pretty close to your learned studies. As you go along you too will paraphrase those studies as new ones take the forefront of your thinking and rationale.<br /><br /><br />Maybe you are blessed with a memory that remembers things accurately well too?<br /><br />I have heard from one man of another man that had photographic memory until the last few years of his life, to the point of degeneration that the last sound teaching he did was several back from the last one he did.<br /><br />His mind sorta melted down and became useless to him. His spirit was sound and strong and he died in the Faith too.<br /><br />I compliment you on this work.<br /><br />At the end of the day the Catholic objections are going to lead across the Tiber and into the lap of the fallible man! And who knows what's over the horizon, maybe they will grow their hair and let a woman be pope? <br /><br />I suppose that is why this fight is to the death, the Catholic books and our 66?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
