what I want to know

[DodgyAgent]

"Er indoors" and I were watching the news over a week ago and cardinal Keith O'Brien is interviewed about the popes decision to stand down. Dodgy (me ) hits the nail straight on the head by instantly calling him a pervert (because he is a priest). Er indoors tells me off and says that he looks like "rather a sweet old boy".

Trying to get my head round what "suspect biblically" means and can only conclude that according to you Catholic interpretation of the (Chinese-whispered) words of some blokes 2000 years ago is somehow inferior to your own.

It means that the RC church does not match up to the church as described in the New Testament. It's written in black & white and science has shown the bible we have today is consistent with what was written originally. Their theology isn't based on their own holy text.

This has no bearing on how sensible/crazy the bible is to start with btw. Treat the bible as a historical text and you can still analyse how accurately modern religion follows it as an academic study.

HTH but from experience IDI
