Reply to comment by Biologyboii in The Catholic Church took a fresh step Thursday in acknowledging abuse endured by Indigenous peoples with the Vatican formally rejecting 15th-century papal edicts that empowered Europeans to colonize non-Christian lands by DoremusJessup

They claim it’s the infallible word of god, but they’re always updating it just enough to keep ahead of the pitchforks. Ignorance is a lack of education on something, which is not the case for me here. You should look into it. In the end, if they would leave others alone, or be a non child raping organization, a lot fewer people would care, including me. Know who doesn’t bother me at all? Wiccans. Don’t even know where they are or what they really believe.

Interpretations evolve over time. Faiths need to live and grow too.

Definitely. But if god were perfect and infallible as they claim, and this were his infallible word, it wouldn’t constantly change with public opinion, would it?

God's perfect, we aren't. That's the long and short of it. Faith isn't about rote adherence to dogma; one has to remain open to better ways to approach Her.

But Catholics do claim they preach the infallible word. They don’t say this is our best current interpretation.

I know a whole lot more about it than you realize. You’re definitely ignorant.

If it isn’t that the pope actually speaks the infallible word of god, then you’re mistaken. Ironic.
