    This prompts me to wonder how many extra-biblical dogmas I’m clinging to. I can’t think of any, but maybe that’s because I’m so convinced. Huh. Amazing that these traditions have survived as fundamentals for so many centuries.

    I don’t think there’s any doubt that we all hold views that aren’t Biblical, which is why it’s so important to keep going back to the Bible. I should note that these traditions didn’t exactly “survive as fundamentals” for centuries. These are things that developed over time. For example, the immaculate conception was proclaimed as a dogma in 1854, and the assumption in 1950.

    Oh. That makes it even stranger (and less excusable) to my mind.
