It’s wild how the world is just totally realigned.
Here is the NC Register holding up theologians as experts against the DDF as if they think that the theologians might have something to say.
The framing of this article made me gasp, Anne!

There’s a story about an old monk from a community of my acquaintance who had his own recipe for “Epiphany Water” and would sell the bottles (but not the water) at craft fairs all over the county.

Yeah this particular piece of logic. absolutely happens all over the place.
Lots of parishes have holy water dispensers somewhere too (that are free) since some families keep a holy water stoup by the door at home

Yeah. On board for that. Though you don’t need revelation for that. (Since that’s more internally human than “God exists”. And the Catholic tradition at least insists that “God exists” is knowable by natural reason.

There’s a huge distance between “Jesus is Lord” and “Jesus is homoousious with the Father”. And that difference is precisely the development of doctrine.

So- revelation is, as Thomas points out, received by various people. There are two terms to revelation (by and to) And quidquid recipitur ad modem recipientis recipitur. So it wouldn’t be received the same by all definitionally. Complexity of a simple creator and a composite creation.

Also- side point- but these guys don’t really want truth. They want to be able to fight and win. Which isn’t “caring about the truth” at all.
It is the academy I was introduced to though. And thankfully one there’s alternatives to- because of women and queer and just less-toxic-dude academics
