Legitimate theology

I had to laugh at the concept.

Then I had to cry over my ignorance at not being able to comprehend what this guy is talking about.

Friend of John Paul II: Illegitimate Theology Threatens to Undermine Humanae Vitae

Professor Stanislaw Grygiel warns against theologians who ‘raise man’s weakness to the dignity of the principle of life.’

Theologians who wish to soften the teaching of Blessed Paul VI’s encyclical Humanae Vitae are contaminated by “political interests and sociological digressions” and are putting human weakness rather than Christ at the center of salvation.

Such theologians are prompting a theology that is a dangerous threat to the faith and leading to a “new casuistry.”

2. In science, when someone makes a discovery, someone else will seek to replicate the results.

If they are successful, support for that discovery grows.

Religion has no correction mechanism - nothing at all to help steer it toward the truth. Ergo, there is no such thing as "illegitimate theology." ALL theology is valid. EVERY religious answer is just as correct as any other.

Not one theist has ever been able to support a single claim made in theology.
