Catholic vs Catholic Debate- a post or comment that results in doctrinal debates that might cause scandal among the faithful. *Effective immediately, any negative criticism of the current Magisterium will result in deletion, and a warning from the moderators. This includes but is not limited to criticism of the Novus Ordo mass and/or our Holy Father.

(1) What about criticisms of the previous magisterium when it has been in error and, consequently, which teachings have changed?

(2) "Scandal among the faithful?" Wasn't that the excuse the church made for covering up sex abuse by its clergy - it didn't want to "scandalize the faithful."?

Isn't covering up the truth basically dishonest?

Or at least biased? :D:

that guideline applies solely to those who claim to be Catholic. if you wish to be "Catholic" then you must believe certain things and be obedient to the Magisterium. if you believe those things to be in error, then simply cease to be Catholic and you can talk about as much as you want.

we aren't covering up the truth, we are holding people who claim catholicity to the high standard of being in line with the Church.

[color=red]the magisterium is never in error [/color]

(2) "Scandal among the faithful?"  Wasn't that the excuse the church made for covering up sex abuse by its clergy - it didn't want to "scandalize the faithful."?
[color=red] The church as a whole did not cover up any sex abuse scandal, individual bishops  did make imprudential judgements.[/color]
