I'm asking you and the other active Catholics here to tell me why you accept the Latin Vulgate (Jerome, 4th century) as inspired scripture. You don't need to bring scholarly thought in to it. Why does it have equal status as scripture as Codex Vaticanus? And - most importantly - how can you justify Vaticanus as scripture for the OT when we have a far better preserved Hebrew language version (the Masoretic Text)?
Great, so we have my observations that can't be properly satisfied and on top of that you're creating more intellectual dissonance by clashing two different denominations together.
