Catholicism as doctrinal development — novel doctrines added over centuries, not apostolic teaching

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 4) 00:40:14 – 00:40:44

Continuation of Fatima discussion; Mike's broader critique of Catholicism.

Catholic apologists long claimed all their doctrines were secretly known to the apostles and preserved through church leadership. Widespread access to church fathers (late 1800s–early 1900s) undermined this claim. The fallback of "doctrinal development" essentially acknowledges that novel doctrines were added — the seed metaphor (truths in seed form that grew) admits the full flower was not there originally.

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)

A curated collection of Logos Bible Software clippings compiled by Cheryl Schatz examining the Greek word κεφαλή (kephale) and Hebrew רֹאשׁ (rosh).
