The early „Responses” of the Pontifical Biblical Commission ranked as doctrinal statements and their purpose was to delineate the boundaries of Catholic orthodoxy in Biblical studies. The decrees have never lost their formal status even though they have been nearly universally abandoned by theologians. In 1955 an anonymous article was published whose goal was to diminish the authority of the “Responses” and present them as outdated. However, there was no ecclesiastical authority of any sort behind the article. Today we need to see the documents as the testimony of the ever-actual Church Magisterium according to the principle of hermeneutics of continuity promoted by Pope Benedict XVI.
