Now stop putting words in my fucking mouth

But it is a clear fact that my opinion isn't going to shift the ideas of Cardinals and Popes

or a normal priest for that matter

Ok that doesn't change the fact that what they do is wrong...

“Let’s just allow the religion to be defiled and corrupted bc I’m too small to do anything”

Al, you must have a problem reading

Because you keep ascribing stuff to me that I haven't said yet

How so lol

"Ok that doesn't change the fact that what they do is wrong..."
^I didnt ascribe you to anything, bud

Yeah, okay, sure

I stated that before, but water under the bridge

How do you justify kneeling before idols

I'm not exactly sure what point you're trying to make here

also, that

Hosea 13:2, "And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves molten images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, “Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"

<:thinksup:435332697586532357>

Literally speaking, that image isn't made from silver

Sounds like you're interpreting, Al

How do you justify kneeling before idols

Stop avoiding the question

I already explained the answer to that question

But this conversation isn't between me and you

And I don't remember asking for your thoughts on anything

Small al has the same question lol

I’m asking for your thoughts

And I've answered his question

It’s the other way around

how does the material of the statue change the meaning lol?

Hold on a minute now

You've argued against interpretation this entire time

And now you're saying that the material doesn't matter

When that verse says silver

You argue literalism, fine

Wait what are you on about

My point is: you're doing interpretation right fucking now

Yes I do, and you are literally in violation of kneeling before idols. You make gods and goddesses of your Saints and of Mary.

They are neither gods or goddesses

Holy people, who accomplished miracles? Yes

Kneeling before idols to own the pagans

And they should be seen as standards and examples of what we should do for the faith

Just because that specific verse said silver doesn't mean that the meaning would be different if it said the statue was ceramic. That's a completely different way of interpreting something "literally"
