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?
