Forgive me, but clearly you did intentionally truncate this sentence of mine:
As we see
here:
The problem is that this intentional truncation had the effect of a misquotation, because it changed the semantics of my sentence.
My claim was that what you call Sola Scriptura is not what Martin Luther called Sola Scriptura; I expressed this using less succinct language, and you truncated my sentence in such a way so that it would appear, to someone who had read your reply but not the original comment, which would include a great many people, that I had said “the radical version of Nuda Scriptura you advocate clashes with Sola Scriptura.”
And you also truncated several other sentences of mine, and then replied inconsistently based on an incorrect assumption as to what was said.
So I will of course accept your explanation that you did not intentionally misquote me, as I don’t believe you would do that, but it does seem that in each instance where you have implied that I said something that I did not, by virtue of the content of your reply, it appears to have been connected to you truncating a sentence. Therefore I really must reiterate my requirement that you not truncate my posts when replying to them. Please don’t do it. Otherwise it would be impossible for us to continue to enjoy our debates and fellowship on CF.com, and I have valued our friendship we have cultivated since 2019, and have been looking forward to seeing you when I travel to Georgia (I am hoping to visit the Delta Airlines Museum in Atlanta and dining at the rotating restaurant during the course of doing some business in an adjacent state this autumn.
On another note, you made an interesting claim:
@chevyontheriver @Michie @Valletta @concretecamper @Reader Antonius
To your knowledge, is that correct? Because the general consensus seems to be that the two uses of the infallible statement were the ex cathedral promulgations of the doctrines of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Leo IX and of the Assumption (which already was dogma in the Orthodox churches and the Assyrian church, and which did have a feast in the Catholic church, I think, so perhaps you might clarify that for us) by Pope Pius XII
Also my Catholic friends, I hope you have a blessed Pentecost Sunday! I am hoping to visit a Tridentine mass this morning, as I am not well enough to travel out in the desert to one of my own parishes.
