What is the Biblical evidence that Jesus' mother was one of His disciples? Does perpetual virginity have anything to do with this question? |

How could a sinless Mary die? @PaulA.Clayton why would it be unjust if she freely chose it for herself? |

How could a sinless Mary die? @Caleb we don't discount the Orthdox tradition and are free to believe it (so far as I know). It's just not a defined Catholic dogma like the Assumption is. |

What does “the saints are not keepers of the law, but legislators” mean? Wish I knew the Orthodox answer, isn't the law in this encyclical just positive law not eternal, natural or divine? So isn't that the same sentiment echoed by Martin Luther King of St Augustine in a letter from a Birmingham Jail wherein an unjust law is no law at all. And it is the example of the saints which shows us what laws are just and what laws aren't. |

How does the feast of Corpus Christi fit into the church calendar? In the USA we celebrate it this Sunday! And there are two more movable feasts to go. |

Who decides if a verse is literal and what part is metaphorical Looks good, It's also worth pointing out that the Catholic Church doesn't teach that the Bible is self-interpreting, although I've got a feeling that might be a straw-man argument used against Protestants more often than not. |

Who decides if a verse is literal and what part is metaphorical I've quoted this catechism reference a million times, but the Catholic Church has a concept of the "senses of scripture" which are not mutually exclusive. So a story or verse ought to be taken literally (to the extent that it can) and metaphorically at the same time. |
