The Talibanization of Catholicism
Religious discourse can be very controversial. Although I am open to share and listen to the religious beliefs of others (or lack thereof), I have never been interested in debating the issue. How can one debate the issue of faith? I find it pointless. I have nothing to prove nor do I want to convert someone to my way of thinking (or belief). However, I do want to comment on the endorsement this week by Pope Benedict XVI of the doctrinal document ?Responses to Some Questions Regarding Certain Aspects of the Doctrines on the Church?. In a nutshell, this treatise asserts the primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, while other churches, like the Orthodox church are ?wounded?, and that Protestant churches are not ?true? churches. It also claims that Catholicism provides the only true path to salvation.
