comment What is the biblical basis for the doctrine of Papal Infallibility taught by the Catholic Church?
And if anything, the passage quoted supports Papal Infallibility. Having been challenged, Peter went away, prayed and then expounded God's revelation. Infallible statements are not those of a man; they are the revealed will of God put into words by a man.

comment Is there any connection between minimum age for marriage in Catholic Church and tradition about Mary's age at Annunciation?
And in fact in most cases it would be superseded by statute law. In the UK, both parties must be 16 and (if they have not previously been married) have parental consent. Parental consent is not required for those who have reached 18.

comment From where did Mary get the attribution of “Full of Grace”?
The Bible I use (RSV-CE) has "Hail, full of grace" for Luke 1:28. So there is precedent in translation.

comment What is the “General Magisterium” in Roman Catholicism?
There's quite a lot in the Catholic Encyclopedia entry: if you don't want to read it all, scroll down to "The organization and exercise of the living magisterium," about two-thirds of the way through. [Note that some references in the article, like to the Inquisition, are outdated]

comment Why is freemasonry considered by many evangelicals to be incompatible with Christianity?
@DanAndrews The Roman Catholic Church is brought up because you asked for Churches which teach about not joining the masons.

comment Why is freemasonry considered by many evangelicals to be incompatible with Christianity?
It seems quite conclusive if "the Catholic Church teaches that Freemasonry and Christianity are incompatible. The Holy See in 1983 reiterated the traditional position that Catholics who are Freemasons are in a state of grave sin and may not receive the sacraments." This is a prohibition.

comment Why is freemasonry considered by many evangelicals to be incompatible with Christianity?
@DanAndrews The Roman Catholic Church is one such Church which teaches that freemasonry is incompatible with Christianity and which forbids its members from being masons. Read more here

comment What is the biblical argument against Papal Succession?
Up to the Great Schism, there wasn't! The Great Schism is quite a different matter, of course; as is the Reformation.
