"The Preachers chiefly shall take heed that they teach nothing in their preaching, which they would have the people religiously to observe and believe, but that which is agreeable to the Doctrine of the Old Testament and the New, and that which the Catholick Fathers and Ancient Bishops have gathered out of that Doctrine." A proposed canon of Elizabeth I, 1571

Roman Catholic statement on Scripture

The Times of London has a report on a new document produced by the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Britain on the authority of Scripture. The text of Ruth Gledhill's rather overblown article may be found here. I note that Gledhill seems to be vastly overstating what is "refuted" in the bishops' statement. The Times reporter treats what students have long been taught at modern seminaries as if it were astonishing new information the Church has never recognized up to now. I eagerly await the publication of the full text of the statement for study.

Yes, sir. I think "overblown" fits quite nicely. I blanched at the part about Galileo. That dispute really wasn't about literalism. Galileo probably was the more literal interpreter.
