Subject: Explanations of difficult verses |
Bible Note: 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 |
