A question to all members of the RCC out there. The subject of inerrancy/how literal to take scripture is a topic that has received a lot of publicity lately and is causing considerable strife in several denominations (eg. Southern Baptist and PCUSA to name a few). I was raised Catholic (including a parochial high school) and was never taught a specific position with regard to scripture. I can say, however, that looking back on the Sisters of Mercy I had in high school, most of the younger sisters had a moderate to liberal view of things. Just curious. P.S. I'd just like an answer to my question and do not intend to start another flame war from every one telling how they think to accept scripture. All this denominational and scriptural debate seems to go nowhere .... ecumenism is far away in my book! -- Robert J.
