This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Depends on which doctrines you mean. Those defined infallibly, are set
in stone for eternity. As for the rest ... well, the Church, on the
one hand, says that the time of public revelation ended with the
closing of Scripture, but allows for a kind of private revelation in
prayer; yet at the same time it allows for a kind of public revelation
_through the Church_, through the "development of doctrine" and the
teaching authority (_Magisterium_) of the Church.

It's complicated...
