Papal front runners. If the Black guy becomes the next pope, white Republicans will scream DEI till their buttholes explode

Most scholars agree that the Gospels were written decades after Jesus. Scraps of writings may have been written well before the Gospel itself was assembled into a book. That assembly may not have been done by the apostle noted for writing it. A lot of the apostles ended up dead by those opposed to their beliefs. Pretty common back in the day.

Well, it's very short and incomplete answer; there are another few hundred years of history between Ezra and the Christian era, with Greek intellectuals, Alexander and his successors thrown into the chaos, and other fun stuff.

You should take a look at what many Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox thought were real 'Messiahs' throughout their post-Christian history; makes their weird hatred and critiques of Da Evul Xians pretty hilarious stuff considering the nutjobs they followed. The short answer there is Jesus was pretty cool all around, probably why they hate him so much. He was a much better Jew than they are.

Oh, Ms. Edwina. Is your life really so fucked up that you hate it so much all you can do is troll?

Clearly you never graduated college. Is it because your HS football player BF knocked you up and you were married, had three kids and divorced by the time you were 25? Are you living the dream, dear? Did you at least get your GED?

So isn't the Pope not infallible when speaking ex cathedra?

If you don't believe me perhaps you will believe what the Catholics say.


St. Peter's Square and Basilica
Now a quote from the Catholic Press newspaper in Sidney, Australia. “Sunday is a Catholic institution and its claims to observance can be defended only on Catholic principles. From the beginning to end of Scripture there is not a single passage that warrants the transfer of weekly public worship from the last day of the week to the first.”

The Catholic Mirror of September 23, 1894, puts it this way: “The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday.”

To point up the claims we’re talking about, I want to read from two Catechisms. First, from the Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann. “Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.”

Second, from Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism we read this: “Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.”

Then from Cardinal Gibbons’ book, The Question Box, p.179, “If the Bible is the only guide for the Christian, then the Seventh-day Adventist is right in observing Saturday with the Jew. Is it not strange that those who make the Bible their only teacher should inconsistently follow in this matter the tradition of the Catholic Church?”

One more statement taken from the book, The Faith of Millions, p. 473. “But since Saturday, not Sunday, is specified in the Bible, isn’t it curious that non-Catholics who profess to take their religion directly from the Bible and not from the Church, observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Yes, of course, it is inconsistency but this change was made about fifteen centuries before Protestantism was born, and by that time the custom was universally observed. They have continued the custom even though it rests upon the authority of the Catholic Church and not upon an explicit text from the Bible. That observance remains as a reminder of the Mother Church from which the non-Catholic sects broke away like a boy running away from home but still carrying in his pocket a picture of his mother or a lock of her hair.”
