Pope to debate evolution with former students

[Fiosh]

No one is saying the the RCC does not allow its followers to read the Bible. They just aren't allowed to think about it or to deviate from the official church position on any position. This is from Wikipedia:

Magisterium (from the Latin magister, "teacher") is a technical ecclesiastical term in Catholicism referring to the teaching ability and authority of the Pope and those Bishops who are in union with him. According to Catholic doctrine, the Magisterium is able to teach or interpret the truths of the Faith, and it does so infallibly within the Sacred Magisterium.

"The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted solely to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him." (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd ed. [1997], pt. 1, sect. 1, ch. 2, art. 2, III [#100]).

Exactly! just the way Jesus set it up! One, holy, catholic and apostolic church....that is the "pillar and foundation of truth". I Tim 3:15

Yes, Horizon we are always in the presences of the lord, however during mass you are actually in the physical presence of the Lord. Just like you were at Calvary. But don't think I am saying that we Crucify Jesus over and over again. Calvary is represented in Sacramental way. Christ's blood was shed only once, but is continually offered to the Father. Through the Catholic Mass Christ's saving act is made actually present day by day, until the end of the world. You might also want to attend a Mass that is said in English. You might get more out of it.
