Interpretation entrusted SOLELY to ...

Where can one obtain the interpreted verses concerning Christian faith; at the back of the church, at the front of the church, or in the sacristy?
?????? The CC hasn't gone through each individual verse in the Bible and given an interpretation for each one.

108 Still, the Christian faith is not a "religion of the book". Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written admire word, but incarnate and living"....
 
?????? The CC hasn't gone through each individual verse in the Bible and given an interpretation for each one.
You have already established that point:
... The task is when an issue arises concerning the Christian faith the CC has the authority to settle it. ...

...
108 Still, the Christian faith is not a "religion of the book".
Which book; God's inspired written word, or RCC's interpretation of issues that arise?

Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written admire word, but incarnate and living"....

The living tradition of the church is found within the church. If you attend a church service you will find it.
But, you said it can be found within the church; where: at the back, at the front, in the sacristy?

108 Still, the Christian faith is not a "religion of the book". Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written admire word, but incarnate and living"....
is that a quote from a catholic source like the ccc? did you c/p it or post from memory?

catholicism is not Christianity.

"Written admire word"? What does that mean?
 
CCC-100 The task of interpreting the Word of God authentically has been entrusted SOLELY to the Magisterium of the Church, that is, to the Pope and to the bishops in communion with him.

Where can we get the list of all the verses of the Word of God, that have been authentically interpreted by the Magisterium of the Church?
The same place I can get a list or lists of all the God Breathed doctrines the Scriptures teach.

What is it with you people and needing a list for everything?

But your question misunderstands what the CC is talking about here. What the CCC is saying is that the Church is the authentic teacher of Scripture.

well the ccc is wrong as usual. It is not God's word.

Note: underline mine.

Is it also the Magisterium which interprets "interpretation" as "teacher"?

That is true your RCC is not a religion of the book, if that means the scritpures, it doesn't even put the book first. The book is the word of God. It is the only thing we know for sure is the word of God and it is living, it speaks, it speaks to individuals, it spoke about the past and applies to now.

Your popes cannot even say who hears what, when they heard it, what they heard, where they heard it and it goes against what God put down in writing. God is unchanging so if it goes His written word, then we know it is not from Him at all.


Also it is interesting RCs cannot even list which verses the RCC has given an interpretation to, also if they never have officially interpretated it, they can change its meaning later on. An example is Judas, for centuriess the RCC taught he was condemned in hell, now it is heresy to say that.
 
I don't know that anyone has compiled a list.
Why not? I mean how hard would it have been. Note the first verse that was infallibly interpreted and as another one is interpreted, then add that to the first one. You have a list. I mean without said list how do they know they aren't doing a verse twice. I mean is that why the RCC has changed its position on Judas - is that because the second infallible interpretation disagreed with the first infallible interpretation. I mean it could become extremely confusing. All because they never list these so called infallibly interpretated verses, they can say phew it was never infallibly interpreted.

What's with you Romanists being incapable of pointing to a volume or volumes of works defining what their "authentic teacher of Scripture" has taught? Seems like such a tome would be valued by RC apologists, at least!
But your question misunderstands what the CC is talking about here. What the CCC is saying is that the Church is the authentic teacher of Scripture.
And how do you – RPO– know what the "authentic teacher of Scripture" has authentically taught? If you have a question about Romans 1:26-32, how do you find out what your "authentic teacher of Scripture" has taught on it? Do you go through 2,000 years of Greek and Latin? What if Bishop X wrote something about it in Swahili? Or Urdu?

Or maybe the Roman Catholic Church has been just too busy with itself to bother about such trifling matters as what God has said?

Which would leave the RC laity with claims without substance regarding what their "authentic teacher" has to say about the god that they worship.

Perhaps your difficulty comes down to not knowing the history of Christianity so well. For example, did you realise that throughout the history of Christianity, there have been conflicts over the meaning of Scripture writings? Hence there has been a history of discussion, debate, study by theologians and scholars within Christianity. Eventually for Christian unity an authentic interpretation has been made in each case where essentials of belief are at stake. These are recorded and preserved as part of the deposit of faith. You can find documents and doctrinal statements by knowing which issue you want clarified. For example, if you want to know the scriptural genesis for the doctrine of Original Sin, the Church has those records preserved and at this stage of history, they can be easily accessed in libraries all over the world.

There isn't a verse in scripture that states 'Original Sin' in doctrine form, but there are collections of verses that together show the way to that conclusion. Can you understand how it works in the light of that? You can't just scroll through a list and find a verse that states the doctrine of Original sin, which seems to be what you are expecting should happen.

I understand the list of verses, which deals with issues that arise from the Word of God, that have been authentically interpreted by the Magisterium of the Church, is not accessible.

the issue is that Carm-posting Catholics play loose and sloppy with their categorizations of Catholic interpretations:
You stated "authentic interpretation"
Ding uses the phrase "official interpretation"
and Ramcam2 asks if my pastor's interpretation is "infallible"

Which is it?
