Hello, within the german chapter you will find now an article about Ernst von Dobschütz. Greetings - dobschuetz

[edit] Why the claim about the RCC's official position?

In an earlier edit, I deleted this statement: "According to the Roman Catholic view, Pope Damasus issued the following decree as a result of the council," because I knew of no evidence that the RCC officially maintains the authenticity of the Damasine list. The poster "Wetman" has now reinserted the claim in an even stronger form: "It remains the official Roman Catholic position that Pope Damasus issued the following decree as a result of the council."

If this is indeed the official Roman Catholic position, can Wetman (or anyone else) please show me the official RC statement affirming the authenticity of the Damasine list? In the absence of such a statement (and no, entries in the _Catholic Encyclopedia_ don't count), it is irresponsible to make claims about the RCC's "official" position. The RCC is not coy about stating its official positions. If it puts its weight behind the authenticity of the Damasine list, there ought to be a statement somewhere saying so.
