Thus, these two Greek Fathers of the Church were slighted, not because of anything that they did (they were profound shepherds and theologians), but because Bernini wanted the authority of and preeminence of St. Peter’s position of “first among many” and the importance of two of the Lat...
creative, redemptive goodwill for all men. It is a love that seeks nothing in return. It is an overflowing love; it’s what theologians would call the love of God working in the lives of men. And when
Roman Catholic theologians have defended the universality of their church’s doctrine by several means.

By the way, how can we infallibly know if the top American RCC apologists/pop-apologists/theologians are actually defending what the Vatican actually teach? A true non-lukewarm Catholic would demand an infallible pronouncement on the apologetic activity. If he sent an email to the Vatican, wou...
So the great theologians, the great priests, we should be listening to what they have to say because that’s one of the ways we can see the sense of the faithful. So there you have it, you look broad, you look deep into history and you look at the heights of who are the kind ...
