FtimA, Sorry, I meant to include this also in the previous post. "V. WHO CAN BAPTIZE? 1256 The ordinary ministers of Baptism are the bishop and priest and, in the Latin Church, also the deacon.[57] In case of necessity, any person, even someone not baptized, can baptize, if he has the required intention. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes, and to apply the Trinitarian baptismal formula. The Church finds the reason for this possibility in the universal saving will of God and the necessity of Baptism for salvation." The Catechism Emmaus |

Was John the baptist a bishop, a priest, or a deacon? Ananias, Apollos, Philip? (They could have been) Mark 16:16 says, "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." The above passage is plain, simple, understandable. Catechism #1256 says, "The ordinary ministers of Baptism are the bishop and priest and, in the Latin Church, also the deacon.[57] In case of necessity, any person, even someone not baptized, can baptize, if he has the required intention. The intention required is to will to do what the Church does when she baptizes, and to apply the Trinitarian baptismal formula. The Church finds the reason for this possibility in the universal saving will of God and the necessity of Baptism for salvation." My question to you is this. Who wrote Mark 16:16? Who wrote catechism 1256? |

FTimA, 'My question to you is this. Who wrote Mark 16:16? Who wrote catechism 1256?" The Mark 16:16 question is the tough one if you look at past discussion of it in recent weeks on this forum. Try the search. It is kind of like asking who is buried in Grant's Tomb? I would says Mark, but there are plenty who dispute whether it is a gloss added later by a scribe. Makes me nervous about Bible only when people can't even agree if that verse really is bible. The Catechism of the Catholic Church was compiled in consultation will all the Catholic bishops of the world and issued by John Paul II in 1994. It was the first universal Catechism of the Catholic Church since the Roman Catechism issued after the Council of Trent 500 years ago. We tend to update slowly on the world wide level. Emmaus |

My point here is that God wrote Mark 16:16, while the catechism's were written by men based on, pardon the expression, apostasized interpretation. To be frank, I feel that the catechisms fall under the penalty of Rev 22:18,19 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. Jesus says Matt 15:9 'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.' If these catechisms are accepted as doctrine somebody will have a lot of explaining to do. |
