It is up to the individual to accept or reject that teaching.<BR/><BR/>You are replying to a reply to a reply. The original article said that the Catholic Church revised the 10 commandments so that idolatry was no longer prohibited, because the Catholic Church teaches idolatry. My response was to say that it is not the doctrine of the Catholic Church.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120027058653022897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-70353793320128080202008-12-08T17:53:00.000-08:002008-12-08T17:53:00.000-08:00Regarding the 10 commandments, rest assured that t...<B>Regarding the 10 commandments, rest assured that the Catholic church does prohibit idolatry,</B><BR/><BR/>Prohibition doesn't actually eradicate sin. <BR/><BR/>Today's practicing Catholics may fall into idolatry just as the Israelites during the times of the Prophets. <BR/><BR/>The Law really doesn't save us from sin; only God's grace (whether actual or sanctifying) prevents us doing something sinful.Moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277057132720569896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853207333094285361.post-53695887818572206982008-10-06T15:19:00.000-07:002008-10-06T15:19:00.000-07:00Kelly and Elena - I admire you ladies so much.
