Vatican Time

.

Eating lunch today, I had another interesting conversation, this time with two members of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, which has just ended several days of meetings here.

The commission's main focus for this 5-year period -- founded more than 100 years ago, in 1909, the commission studies a single issue for five years at a time -- is the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture. In short, what does the inspiration of Scripture really mean about the truthfulness of the text. Dr. Robert Moynihan, #17


So if you want to get a decision out of the Vatican, it might take five years. It took them 30 years just to convene the Council of Trent after Martin Luther's revolution.
