Catholicism

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that only after Scripture had been shaped and bordered did it turn out to be natural, or indeed likely, to see and to classify Christianity as a scriptural religion. The author points out that the traditional Catholic doctrines were, from the start, predicated upon the survival of Scripture as an absolute. The paper states that Catholicism is a faith able to differentiate itself from any society and yet is able to connect with and change them all.

Conclusion

From the Paper:

"John England, Bishop of Charleston, marked the pastoral and he mirrored the theology of Francis P. Kenrick. Kenrick had been a theologian at the First Provincial Council, then coadjutor Bishop of Philadelphia (1842-1851), Bishop of Philadelphia (1830-1842), and Archbishop of Baltimore (1851-1863). Extensively considered as the leading theologian among the bishops, in 1839, he published the first edition of his Theologia Dogmatica. In his dissertation on the Word of God, he attempted to give a tradition for the rule of faith."
