Re: rome
Catholicism follows tradition and the decrees of the Pope and church councils as religious authority.
"Did God intend that the Bible alone should be the guide to salvation?
No,
because certain things in the Bible can be misunderstood, and because the Bible does not have everything God taught" - Catechism, p. 51.
"Do we get from the Bible alone all our knowledge and certainty about what God has told us?
No,
"Council … assemblies of the rulers of the Church legally convoked, for the discussion and decision of ecclesiastical affairs … The decrees of general councils have no binding authority till confirmed by the Pope …
The infallibility of general councils so confirmed follows from that of the Church…" - Dictionary, pp. 227-230.
"Does Jesus require us to follow the Pope in matters of religion?
Yes,
because obedience and loyalty to the Pope are among the chief requirements of Our Lord's plan for unity … Can the Pope make an error when teaching religion? Not when he is speaking solemnly (ex cathedra) as head of the church. Then he has that special protection from error which God gives as a spiritual safeguard for all the members of the church" - Catechism, p. 56.

Re: rome
Rome did not invent bricks.jackles wrote:rome =bricks and morter.the humble brick should be the emblem of rome.you are livin or workin in them now.just look around you your roman.
Neither did they invent mortar.
However concrete of Roman origin, if you really want to pursue this idiotic line of argument.
Re: rome
who knows who first used a piece of clay to do some construction.it is not important who first used a lump of clay.what matters is the the system that made the most use of of a bricks convienience for use in construction.that system was and still is rome.the brick is the single most important man made item.you can see the result of there use from space.

Archaeologists know that bricks were invented before there was so much as a mud hut in the area known as Rome.jackles wrote:who knows who first used a piece of clay to do some construction.it is not important who first used a lump of clay.what matters is the the system that made the most use of of a bricks convienience for use in construction.that system was and still is rome.the brick is the single most important man made item.you can see the result of there use from space.
Rome does not represent a system that made most use. Only a fool would think so.
The British Rail system used more bricks than Rome ever did.
There are more brick in the Brighton Viaduct than exist in ANY structure in Rome.

The Wall of China is the structure most quoted in "seen from Space" mentions. It is NOT Roman and it is NOT made of bricks.
You are an ignoramus.
And before you tell me "wot about the ROMAN ARCH", The Romans did not invent the arch.
Arches were common place in Mesopotamia in the 2ndC BC.

Re: rome
I misunderstand nothing.jackles wrote:you misunderstand the meaning of rome.all citys are rome .its the system that runs the cities of this world that is roman.roman government.government is rome.taxation
If you really think all cities are Rome you are doing two things.
1) Being an idiot.
2) reducing anything you say about Rome to meaningless bullshit.

You are also saying that Rome is Brighton to the core!
