Jesus Christ had the authority to change things like that, which were not already written, and (by extension) we see that a prophet like Moses did as well, when he brought the Law of Moses that Christ eventually fulfilled. It sounds like, from the responses, that most Catholics would say the Pope does not have the authority to do anything like that. Am I making sense? | |
| Mar 17, 2023 at 13:50 | comment | added | Lige | Yes, but also no? I, and most Christians, would agree with you that Jesus did not "make up" doctrine to be whatever he thought sounded neat. The laws he pronounced are infinite and eternal laws of what is fundamentally right and wrong, and as such these laws already existed. I can see how my phrasing might have made it sound like that, but I didn't really mean that. I'll have to think of a better way to edit it. What I did mean is that Christ had the authority to come and fulfill the law of Moses while changing lots of things that were not already written--i.e., we now worship on | |
