Quote:He was a catholic priest and theologian for over 50 years, and you accused him of being a heretic, a charge no catholic has leveled at him. I’d take the opinion of the Catholic Church on who or what they consider heritical, over some random atheist/non-catholic on the internet, lol.
You do whatever you like, dear. LOL.
No Catholic (and no Christian of any stripe) would say that the reason for the Incarnation was nothing, but for Jesus to be human.
No one, and certainly no priest.
So far you have posted not one opinion from the Catholic Church on his theology, pro or con.
You still misspelled heretical ... guess we can't take your opinion on anything, since you can't spell.
I told you more than once, I'm not an atheist. Why do you insist on repeating your lies ?
"“There was, from the point of view of God’s life, no such thing as a moment at which the eternal Son of God was not Jesus of Nazareth…. The eternal life of Jesus as such could not precede, follow or be simultaneous with his human life. There is no story of God ‘before’ the story of Jesus.”
1. Hebrews did not buy (and still don't) the notion of a trinity. For a Jew, a "son" of god (and there were many) merely meant someone was righteous.
2. This notion he spouts, denies the fall of man, and the need for salvation. It denies many of the most important Christian beliefs, (the Incarnation for one) ...
3. The last sentence is preposterously false, according to RC theology.
Yeah, he's a heretic. It's nothing but BS revisionism of basic nonsense. It certainly is not Catholic.
Lots of men were priests for an even longer time. They were also heretics.
"Forty-five years later, in God Still Matters (2002), he remained convinced that the doctrine of the Trinity “announces the most ultimate liberation of people...their liberation from mere creaturehood,” their “divinization.” There is nothing in RC theology (or Christian theology either). that says humans are to become divine. Nothing.
McCabe is WAY out on the left fringe, ... a wacko lefty.

"McCabe went on to write: "The Church is quite plainly corrupt: a cardinal selects Christmas as the occasion for supporting the murder of Vietnamese civilians; the Pope alleges that the church's teaching is not in doubt about birth control; the Congregation of Rights has just asserted that a family communion celebrated in a private home and followed by a meal is a practice 'alien to the Catholic religion', while nearer home and more comically, a Bishop has expressed the fear that Catholics who sing carols in Anglican churches are endangering their faith and morals."
"McCabe was suspended from his priestly duties - though the suspension was quickly lifted after intercession in Rome by Archbishop Cardinale, then the Apostolic Delegate - and lost his position as editor of New Blackfriars. He returned unrepentant to the helm of the journal in 1970, beginning his first leading article with "As I was saying when I was so oddly interrupted . . ."

LOL. It is a day and a half ... LOL.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
