SOV2 Tagged me-me

So this morning I woke up to a tag from Fr. Tim over at SOV2. Of course I'm much surprised...he has condemned my theology and has such an aversion to Latin that he can't even look at me. But just the same, I am honored to be tagged, so here goes:

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.


Hmmm....lots of books around here. Which is the closest?

"The Christian Faith in the doctrinal documents of the Catholic Church." ed. by Jacques Dupuis, 7th r. ed.

The document beginning on p. 123 is by Paul VI, S. CONGREGATION FOR CATHIOLIC EDUCATION THE THEOLOGICAL FORMATION OF FUTURE PRIESTS (22 Feb. 1976)

5th sentence: Since Scripture is passed on to us by the Chruch and in part came into existence within the Church, it should be read and understood in the light of ecclesiastical tradition.

Next 3 sentences:

The primordial role of Sacred Scripture determines the nature of its relation to theology and its various disciplines. We must recall here that Sacred Scripture cannot be taken into account in function solely of these disciplines (as though it were but a source of probative texts); on the contrary, theology in its entirety is called upon to help to a better and increasingly profound understanding of the sacred texts, that is, of the dogmatic and moral truths they contain. Consequently, after the introductory questions have been handled, the teaching of Sacred Scripture must culminate in a biblical theology which gives a unified vision of the Christian mystery.

I tag anyone who knows and prays for a priest. You DO pray for priests, don't you?
