Since Protestant historians have twisted the history of the inquisition over the years, I thought I would indulge them with a nice picture of the inquisition wheel!
I ran across this article this morning. If it is accurate then I am quite pleased at Pope Benedict's new investigation of the woman's religious orders in the US, which as we know, many have strayed far away from Catholicism embracing such heresies as women priests, open homosexual lifestyles, the use of contraception and the list goes on. Once again we have people, or groups of people calling themselves Catholic who are not really Catholic in belief at all. Now our Protestant critics like to point out that Catholics are not really united in Church teaching, which is an erroneous conclusion. They like to pit infallible teachings against ones that have not been declared solemnly so, and use that as a means of proving division. Yet what does the Chruch officially teach when it comes to all teaching, not just "infallible" teaching? The CDF published an updated Profession of Faith with three additional paragraphs in 1989 as the article tells us, "Moreover, I adhere with religious submission of will and intellect to the teachings which either the Roman pontiff or the College of Bishops enunciate when they exercise their authentic magisterium, even if they do not intend to proclaim these teachings by a definitive act."
Hopefully this investigation does away with the heresies that have been coming out of some of the religious groups over the last 40 years. Read the complete article here. Drop back over and post your opinion here. I am curious to see how people view this act by the papacy.
