Man it even says right there that there are conflicts between the Roman Catholic practices and "Literal" interpretaions of the Bible.
"the Bible communicates without error that truth which God intended for the sake of our salvation"
You know exactly what that statement means, that the morality, lessons, and teachings are without error. As in they can't change it to "thou shalt not kill...unless you're wife is sleeping with another dude".
No where in that update that you posted does it say that everthing in the Bible is word for word historical fact, and you know that.
Seriously dude, you still haven't addressed how you completely made up your own interpretation of what the Pope thinks, and then you bring up this out of context to make your point, knowing full well what it actually means.

I apologize for the slowness of my responses...work gets in the way.
ok...your point...
"
and in that context you implied that the Catholic Church (the Pope in particluar) supports the idea of a literal interpretation of the entire bible,
Now my earlier comment..
" Im just speaking as the Pope would.....he likes to keep things in the dark ages."
Now you can interpret my thoughts anyway you like, however I didnt suggest that the Pope supports EVERYTHING the bible says literally. I was trying to be facetious in a quick response to Rouge but forgot the
.
In the post you are responding to..comments such as...
the Bible communicates without error
and
it also "resists" modern attempts to make the Bible answer problems
sounds pretty literal to me? The fact that there is conflict is good, I applaud any conflict within religion, because I am an unabashed free thinker. But wouldnt that suggest that there are those that fight the "literal interpretation" of the bible within the church?
Sorry being quick on response meaning I dont have much "freethinking" time.
