I don't know. For the record, I wasn't trying to bring up the sola fide (The doctrine) debate again, we have plenty of threads we can do that, at this point.
But to me this is a very clear mistake on the part of the Catholic Church. I know they don't think the Pope is always infallible, but they think he can be on issues of "faith and morals." Yet, conveniently, they say taxes aren't a moral issue. The Bible, however, makes no exceptions to its "Thou shall not steal" command.
Now, this isn't a salvation issue either, so I'm not saying a true church (small c) couldn't get this wrong. I don't think a single person in my church agrees with me on this... I might have half-agreement from a few people, but I don't think a single person completely agrees with me on it. I still view it as a true church, albeit flawed. But my church doesn't claim to be the one true church, or infallible in any circumstance. Hence the difference.
Does the EO church condemn ALL theft, including taxation?
