V. SACRED SCRIPTURE IN THE LIFE OF THE CHURCH
131 "And such is the force and power of the Word of God that it can serve the Church as her support and vigor, and the children of the Church as strength for their faith, food for the soul, and a pure and lasting fount of spiritual life."109 Hence "access to Sacred Scripture ought to be open wide to the Christian faithful."110
132 "Therefore, the study of the sacred page should be the very soul of sacred theology. The ministry of the Word, too - pastoral preaching, catechetics and all forms of Christian instruction, among which the liturgical homily should hold pride of place - is healthily nourished and thrives in holiness through the Word of Scripture."111
133 The Church "forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful. . . to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures. Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.112
Can you elaborate a bit more on your reference? |
I have given the reference as to where I got the quote...this must mean one thing...your church has changed its doctrine while God's Word has not.
In 1414 was there a law put forth by the catholic chuch that they did not want peploe to read the Bible because it was translated into English where ALL could read it for themselves and be like the Bereans and to follow 2 Tim. 2:15? Yes or no will do...
Catholics also pray to Mary let alone bow before graven images of what the sculptures think she looked like. But where does the Bible or Jesus command us to pray to Mary? If so, scripture and verse please. Because even Christ tells us in the New Testament to pray to the Father only!
And should I mention about how catholics are approved to steal and lie from the Manual of Christian Doctrine? I think I will wait to go any further...
If you find anything that is not now, then your church changed its doctrine...I will go with God's Word that hasn't changed one bit!
