Question

The so-called "pietistic approach" to the church, as reflected in Roman Catholicism, stresses the "invisible" church and tends to deemphasize the importance of the "local" church organization.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Keeping in view the historical perspective , two approaches appear to have prevailed in the past to understand the world and truth. One is scholastic approach and the other is pietistic approach . The scholastic approach is votary of hierarchy of priest . It emphasises specialised language , structure , symbolism etc. It advocates cult culture . It denies the role of common people to discover truth .

On the other hand , pietistic approach allows general people to explore truth using their wisdom and thought . It advocates use of language of common people . It allows general discussion and argument on issues relating to religion .

Roman catholics believe in scholastic approach . So the statement that " Roman Catholicism, stresses the "invisible" church " is wrong .
