Mostly True
Vatican City
The video discusses the lack of a formal infallible list of traditions in Roman Catholicism, the early church's selection of scriptural books, and the differences in scriptural canons among Christian groups.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (61/100).
The claims regarding Roman Catholicism's lack of a formal list of infallible traditions and the Vatican's absence of such a list are supported by multiple sources, including U.S. Catholic and EWTN, which confirm that only two teachings have been declared infallible ex cathedra. The claim about the early church's selection of scriptural books is supported by sources indicating divine guidance and theological discernment. The claim that different Christian groups have different scriptural canons is well-supported by evidence showing variations in the Old Testament across denominations. However, the claim that all Christian groups adhere to the Protestant canon is contradicted by evidence showing that Catholic and Orthodox traditions include additional books.
