QUOTE(yeeck @ Mar 9 2015, 04:08 PM)
Catholics don't believe that the pope is a divine being. However, the teaching of papal infallibility says that the Holy Spirit will protect the Pope from error when defining an article of faith intending to bind all the faithful.

For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine, but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles. Indeed, their apostolic teaching was embraced by all the venerable fathers and reverenced and followed by all the holy orthodox doctors, for they knew very well that this See of St. Peter always remains unblemished by any error, in accordance with the divine promise of our Lord and Savior to the prince of his disciples: "I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren." - Pastor Aeternus.

Of course we believe the Pope is human and can make mistakes, but not when he intends to bind all the faithful to believe in an article of faith. For example, Pope John Paul II teaching that the Church has no power to ordain women. Or Pope Pius XII defining the dogma of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven, which is not a new teaching but has always been believed by the Church for ages.

QUOTE(khool @ Mar 9 2015, 04:25 PM)
For the record, the Pope's infallibility only extends to 'ex-Cathedra', i.e. he needs to be sitting in the chair of St. Peter in the Cathedral when pronouncing doctrine.

His pronunciations must be based on Church documents, encyclicals, papal bulls, and especially the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In addition, the college of Cardinals and Synods must be held before these pronunciation are made. And always, all these must be related to matters of Christian / Catholic faith.

Outside of that circumstance, he can still be subject to human error.

QUOTE(yeeck @ Mar 9 2015, 04:30 PM)
Ermm....ex-Cathedra is the Latin meaning from the chair, but it doesn't necessarily mean he needs to be actually sitting down on his throne.

It is not correct to say that he must consult the college of Cardinals and Synods before pronouncing anything infallibly. The power of the Pope is even above that of Ecumenical Councils, Cardinals, Synods. It just needs to be related to matters of faith and morals and in accordance with the the constant Tradition of the Church or Scripture.

See The Pope

You think the present Pope still have a big territories (Papal States) and army now? LOL....

If you are referring to the First Crusades preached by Urban II, then it was a response to the Muslim invasion and occupation of Jerusalem and the harassment of  pilgrims going to the Holy Places.

Also this is not part of faith and morals so his actions would be dependent on whether they are based on just war theory, self defence, etc.

Now that you mentioned this topic, I think a Crusade is relevant now to repel ISIS based on what they have been doing so far. But that would be far-fetched considering the international political scene today.

hahaha... i am referring to word papal infallibility.

I think when pope has instruction from Holy Spirit to do declare war like my point above, then people should think that under provision of Holy Spirit, there will be a supplies of need and blessing (of course additional tanks n guns biggrin.gif).... why ? cuz it's HS that gives instruction.

what do u think ?

As mentioned above it has nothing to do with infallibility. It should be considered in the light of Church teaching on just war, self-defence, etc. If someone claims he or she has instructions from the Holy Spirit, etc, then there must be an unmistakable sign to prove that. The Catholic Church is very particular about alleged miracles, signs, prophecies. All these are judged by the Church in light of constant Church teaching, Sacred Tradition, Scripture... to be sure that there are no diabolical forces at work.
*
so if pope (not someone else), who is with bestowed papal infallibility, got instruction from HS about declaring a war, will the church still consider pope instruction ?

Just trust. If we have to consider "principles mentioned earlier".... then it's difficult to trust isn't it ?

God gave you a mind to think reasonably too..lol.

Let me give an analogy. If a politician tells you to that he intends to table a motion for a particular law in Parliament, certainly he also has to present facts and figures in order to get support.

Same goes for your question since the issue at hand is not related to Faith or morals, but to prudential judgement which needs to be determined based on the principles mentioned before. Back to your supposed scenario, if the principles of just war, self-defense etc are fulfilled, then I don't see any reason not to agree. But if I see those principles are not fulfilled, then yes, a Catholic may disagree and still remain a faithful Catholic.

A recent case was the invasion of Iraq by the US forces to overthrow Saddam Hussein. President Bush claimed it was due to chemical/nuclear weapons etc, but then Pope John Paul II was very much against the invasion because the principles of just war is just not there. There was no evidence of chemical/nuclear weapons in the aftermath of the invasion and the situation of Iraq just proved that the Pope was right.

On the other hand, those who claimed the invasion was justified because of Saddam's 'potential' of having chemical/nuclear weapons cannot be defended because that would be falling into the sin of presumption.

Hope this helps.

dude... do you know in a simple political arena... we just let the people know what they need to know... that's the 1st point.

2nd point: nobody knows the whole truth except GOD himself. I bet... not all truth is published in google.

3rd point: How do you know that Amazon.com will not reveal another truth tomorrow ? in essence, only GOD possess tomorrow and knows what will happen tomorrow... divine being maaa biggrin.gif

Therefore i choose to humble, if pope claims himself he got instruction from HS ... then i just obey.

For your 1st point, you assume that there would be no questions? smile.gif

2nd point: Yes, but God can choose to reveal the truth to whomever He wants and in the manner that He has said. No contradictions there.

I don't understand your 3rd point and how it relates to Amazon.com. I agree that only God knows what will happen tomorrow. But I don't see what you are trying to drive at with what we are talking about.

Humility vs. willful ignorance vs. stupidity are vastly different things, you know?
*
point no 3 is something relates to future, but irrational for today. But if you don't do it today, then the utopia future will not happen.

This is where all smart people fails to see, because for "smart people": today is irrational therefore future is out of question.

I have been revealed that trust to GOD does look stupid for "smart people".

"You have been revealed"? What is that supposed to mean? Are you claiming to be a prophet? Also..it seems you are equating humble people with stupid people. Sheesh.

oh sorry... i have been revealed meaning i just learned recently. nothing more.

claiming to be prophet... definitely no.

equating humble people with stupid people... no... actually the other thinking biggrin.gif, which is equating "smart people" with stupid people. how come ? because the one that obey GOD (in this context, by listening to pope messages to declare war)... looks stupid but actually these stupid people are the smart people.

so i don't equate humble people with stupid people... btw do you mind point out which post i equate humble people with stupid people ? perhaps i overlook something. i will apology if i equate humble people with stupid people.

Alright, how can you be sure that GOD revealed it to so and so? It will be the same question I ask every Protestant regarding the founding of their various churches/denominations/sects.

Every Christian ought not to be simply taken for a ride.

"Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits if they be of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1

"Who said: Take heed you be not seduced; for many will come in my name, saying, I am he; and the time is at hand: go ye not therefore after them. " Luke 21:8

"Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves." Matthew 10:16
*
Well, Protestant does have problems cuz they don't have pope right ? so the term papal infallibility does not apply to them.

what i think, you can count your blessing as chatolic believes that pope can hear to HS. Therefore chatolic can spend time to do other things instead of trying to listen to HS. Outsourcing maaa biggrin.gif

Do you know how many problems non catholic have because they don't have pope ? therefore because they cannot listen to HS like pope, they have to come out with sooooooooooooooooooooo many rules / ethics code to justify all their action. Pitty isn't it ?

LOL...we Catholics don't make the claim that the Holy Spirit only speaks exclusively to the Pope. Again, I hope you get my points above. Test every claim, test every spirit.
*
oh i see... i was under impression only Pope can hear from HS. Apparently i was wrong.

Test the spirit ? LOL ... biggrin.gif... only GOD can test the spirit on your behalf. The idea is, humans never be the expert of the spirit, therefore you need another spirit to test another spirit. And only HS is available to test the spirit.

Looks like you don't even believe the Bible:

Test the spirit is correct. But how ? by reading the bible ? or by asking another spirit.

let's assume this: we are both not a car expert nor car mechanics. How we gonna test a work from another mechanics ? by asking another QC from another mechanics or governing bodies or something else right ?

Human lives max 120 years... how many years has spirit live ? 1000000 years may i assume ? who can comprehends spirit knowledge ? our bachelor degree ? our googling ?

Yes it's true that 1 John 4:1 say like that, but Proverbs 3:5 also say: Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;

That summarizes, whatever human do to test the spirit will never be good enough, therefore don't do "human way aka reasearch / study", but Trust in the LORD.

if you ask as a scholar, asking empirical evidence. i don't know.

But there is another approach. By faith.

Hebrew 11:6 -- And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

and for chatholic: You have pope biggrin.gif...

-------------------------------------------------------
back to our other topic : Do i believe in bible ?
-------------------------------------------------------

I believe in bible 100%.

Now becareful, bible does not give you direct answer, nor yes no nor summary about testing every kind of evil spirit. It just give you 1 solution. Ask GOD.

One 1 side / or 1 point of view: evil spirit has "expertise" and different spirit has different expertise.
there is one good at sexual temptation,
there is one good at corruption,
there is one good at doing divisive works,
there is one doing bad mouthing,
there is one doing bad habits,
there is one doing killing,
etc...
And because these spirit lives at least... 10000 years... they are very good at doing their expertise biggrin.gif ... no phd able to comprehend their expertise right ?

I hope this explain why i say test the spirit by Asking GOD himself. Because we are very limited in everything. Being positive is another things, but realize 1 thing also another thing.

Actually I find it hard to understand what you are trying to say, really. And for Catholics, we don't just have the Pope to rely on, but also Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. All these are encapsulated in catechisms, lives of the saints, the Sacred Liturgy (Holy Mass and the sacraments), etc...basically what I call the Catholic ethos.

i am improving my ears, to hear GOD... and i don't mind learning from Catholic teachers like you.

But if you tell me to read bible to hear GOD then i am sorry, that one i can google easily. no need teachers.
