Is the choice of a new Pope inspired by the Holy Spirit? @Mawia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI |

What Popes have resigned in the past? @DanO'Day Found corroboration for you. |

When does the bread and wine become Body and Blood? But it doesn't say what the words of consecration are. Actually, I think I've found the right couple of sentences. I'll try and get an answer up tomorrow. |

When does the bread and wine become Body and Blood? Obviously the Catechism is more recent. However, your answer hinges on the interpretation of what "the consecration" actually is. "The consecratory thanksgiving is the moment when the priest holds up the bread and repeats the words of Christ." Where is that stated? |

When does the bread and wine become Body and Blood? No, I said Eucharistic Prayer (which runs from the Sursum Corda to the Great Amen). Still looking and asking. |

When does the bread and wine become Body and Blood? The online Catholic Encyclopedia dates from around 1911, so some things which have not been conclusively defined have changed (and even where they have: its view of Canon Law is distinctly outdated). |

When does the bread and wine become Body and Blood? I had thought that recent thought/teaching was the Eucharistic Prayer was a continuous whole and a "moment of transubstantiation" cannot be said to be identifiable. Using the argument that it's at "This is my body", what about the wine? I'll see if I can find something... |

The Pope is resigning. How does a living pope confer his authority? It's on Vatican Insider Because this is entirely new -- the circumstances are rather different from Gregory XII -- I rather think that no-one, including the Curia, knows precisely what the procedures and protocols are. |

What substitutes for prayers for the Pope's intentions during sede vacante? Hmm. I wonder if the Regent Monsignor considered the case where the Supreme Pontiff is no longer Supreme Pontiff and not in heaven or purgatory either. The answer assumes that the Supreme Pontiff is still Supreme Pontiff after leaving office. This could be reasonable if he dies; but cannot be reasonable if he still lives. Or rather, needs to be explained because it appears to be unreasonable. |

What is the Biblical basis for the Catholic teaching that infant baptism cleanses from original sin? @svidgen All true; but I've tried to answer in a way which will satisfy a Sola Scriptura Protestant. Feel free to add another answer. |

What is the Biblical basis for the Catholic teaching that infant baptism cleanses from original sin? @Narnian I don't believe any of them are; they are all water. Acts 2:41 implies water; Rom 6:4 brings the imagery of death which is evident in full-immersion baptism in water; 1 Peter specifically mentions water "not as a removal of dirt from the body," which the way baptism is practised [either immersion or pouring] won't achieve. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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] |

Jesus Christ recieving Holy Spirit Ah. The question of why Jesus was baptised is rather different. |

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. |

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. |

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 |
