First Shot


I/we have been taught a great many things by Holy Mother Church. Much is good and useful (What! church teachings can be useful???). But some of it is - well - open to question. For one thing, any book of Church teachings carries the usual Latin pronouncements of freedom from errancy. But, who says that the words are free from errancy? Why, the Church does! For that matter, one of the rare infallible papal statements concerned the infallibility of the Pope. Oddly, I have never seen this one questioned. Sometimes we speak of trinity and talk in circles. In this modern world the Vatican and all that flows from it has been open to question (not the same as doubt) since the publication of Humanae Vitae. Humbly I join with the numbers of Catholics who now question. After all, we are merely looking with new eyes upon the same institution that brought us the Inquisition, the Reformation, and limbo.

And so, this blog is dedicated to anyone who wishes to expresses his or her concerns regarding Catholic teaching and/or Sacred Scripture.

Dear Lord: let it not be only me.
