Would this apply to Tradition as well?
« on: June 18, 2009, 09:49:10 AM »
St. Jerome complains of those who misquote and distort the Scriptures -- why couldn't someone do that with Tradition as well?

If the Word of God isn't immune to being twisted by men to say things it doesn't -- why would the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church be immune?



The chatty old woman, the doting old man, and the wordy sophist -- all take up the Scriptures, tear them in pieces, and teach them before they have learned them.

    St. Jerome (342-420AD) on the Tongue
    Mini-Bio: Dalmatian; priest, hermit, abbot, biblical scholar and translator, Doctor of the Church

Or what about Latin translations?  Who would ever know?
