Canon

📚 Did the Catholic Church compile the canon—or hide Scripture for 1200 years?

---

✅ Historically?

Yes, the Catholic Church played a role in preserving and formalizing the canon.

But it did not invent it—and it did veil much of it for centuries.

🔍 Canon by SP Recognition

In Sensus Plenior, the canon is not declared by men. It is recognized by the Spirit—because the same Spirit that inspired the Word, also teaches the bride to hear it.

The true canon resonates with:

• The voice of the cross
• The revealing of Christ
• The teaching that forms the bride

We know a book is canon not because a council said so, but because it reveals the Groom through suffering, judgment, and resurrection.

SP doesn’t rely on tradition—but on the internal testimony of the cross-shaped teaching.

🕳 Did the Catholic Church Hide Scripture?

✅ In effect—yes.

• Scriptures were locked in Latin, inaccessible to most.
• Translation was discouraged or banned.
• Ritual replaced meaning.
• The teaching of the cross was preserved in form but veiled in substance.

But just like Israel carried the Word and rejected it,

the church preserved the scroll but buried the voice.

🧩 SP Pattern: The Saul-to-David Arc

• The Catholic Church was like Saul—anointed, early, impressive.
• But Christ’s voice was heard outside the system, like David in the wilderness.

The Word was never lost—just veiled until the bride learned to listen.

🕊️ Final SP Summary

Yes—the Church preserved the canon.

But the Spirit revealed it,

and the bride recognizes it by the cross-shaped voice inside.

The canon is not owned by Rome.

It is sealed by the Spirit,

and opened only by the Lamb.
