Trent Declares The Vulgate Authentic
- The Council of Trent declared the Vulgate the authentic Latin edition for readings and disputations.
- Chemnitz highlights that this elevates a flawed translation above original texts in theological disputes.
No Private Interpretation Claimed
- Trent forbids private interpretation of Scripture and insists on the Church's sense, backed by unanimous fathers.
- Chemnitz argues that such claims require historical unanimity that Trent often lacks.
Trent's Unanimous Fathers Claim
- Chemnitz stresses Trent's appeal to an 'unanimous consensus of the fathers' which is often historically indefensible.
- He argues Newman-style development cannot reconcile with Trent's explicit unanimity claim.
