3 Contents A Biblical Evaluation of the Roman Catholic Church Section One The Foundational Issue: Divine Revelation and Its Authority 1. Why should the issue of what constitutes divine revelation be a vital concern to all Christians? Why do Protestants believe the Bible alone is authoritative and inerrant (free from error)? Section Two Introduction to Roman Catholicism 3. What are the different categories of modern Roman Catholicism? Have the basic doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church changed today? What are the sacraments, and how do they function in the life of a Catholic believer?...26 Section Three Salvation and Justification 6. What does the Bible teach concerning salvation? What does the Roman Catholic Church teach concerning salvation? What does the Bible teach about the doctrine of justification? What does the Roman Catholic Church teach about the doctrine of justification? Do Protestants and Catholics now agree on the doctrine of justification, or are the teachings of the Council of Trent still authoritative?...58
4 Section Four The Roles of the Bible, the Pope, and Mary 11. How is the Roman Catholic view of biblical authority and inerrancy compromised? Is the Pope infallible? What is the unique role of Mary in Roman Catholicism, and is it biblical? Section Five Conclusion 14. Can the differences between Catholics and Evangelicals be set aside? A Personal Word to Catholics Notes...87
5 SECTION ONE The Foundational Issue: Divine Revelation and Its Authority
6 1 Why should the issue of what constitutes divine revelation be a vital concern to all Christians? If God has personally revealed himself to humanity, can we know where that revelation is found? Can we identify it? In other words, can we truly know what God has spoken to us? What constitutes divine revelation is crucial because without it, very little can be known about God who he is, what he has communicated to us, and what he expects of us. And the question of divine authority is inseparably bound to the issue of divine revelation. Only that which comes from God has divine authority. Only God s own revelation has authentic and inherent power to command obedience. Has God spoken? If so, where has he spoken? Protestants have traditionally maintained that God has spoken solely in the 39 books of the Old Testament and the 27 books of the New Testament. Only these books are divinely authoritative. (Together, they are called the canon.) Among other reasons, this conviction is based upon the following: the teachings of Jesus, who accepted the traditional Jewish Old Testament canon (but not the Apocrypha see next page); 11
7 12 THE FACTS ON ROMAN CATHOLICISM a variety of Jewish and early Christian criteria for a book s inclusion in the canon of Scripture (it had a direct claim to inspiration; it was written by a prophet or an apostle; and so on); the fact that a rational and holy God cannot contradict himself, lie, or inspire error. In contrast, Roman Catholicism teaches that in addition to the Protestant Bible, there are five other sources having divine authority: 1. There are additional books written between the Old and New Testaments, known to Catholics as the deuterocanonical books and to Protestants by the term Apocrypha. Roman Catholics consider these books genuine Scripture and include them as part of their Bible Catholicism maintains that divine authority is to be found in the authorized Tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, which is also classified as the Word of God Divine authority (infallibility) is given to the Pope when he speaks officially on matters of faith and morals When speaking or teaching in conjunction with the Pope and orthodox Catholic Tradition, Roman Catholic bishops are also held to be infallible, and hence, divinely authoritative Official Roman Catholic interpretation of the Bible (Catholic teaching) is considered to have divine warrant and authority. 9
8 The Foundational Issue 13 In essence, all five of these sources can be summarized by the term Roman Catholic Tradition. Protestantism rejects these additional sources of divine authority, and this underscores the single most important division between the two churches. Neither Protestants nor Catholics can deny the import or implications of this issue. Divine authority cannot be found in the Bible alone and at the same time in various additional sources of alleged revelation if these deny the Bible. Because God does not contradict himself (2 Corinthians 1:17-20; see Psalm 145:13; Galatians 3:21; Hebrews 13:8) and cannot lie (Titus 1:2), he cannot affirm one set of teachings in the Bible and then declare them wrong through additional forms of revealed Tradition. Therefore, Protestants believe that if the Bible truly is God s Word (as Catholics also maintain), then anything that conflicts with biblical teaching cannot possibly be from God. In short, this issue is crucial because Catholic Tradition and biblical revelation conflict with one another on matters of vital importance, such as the means of salvation. In the end, this may have great personal consequence, including uncertainty about or even unintended rejection of the true means of salvation. The heart s desire No one can deny that devout Catholics, like Protestants, sincerely wish to do God s will; they desire to know what is pleasing to God so they may live their lives accordingly. This is why the issue of biblical authority is so crucial.
