    Thanks for your heads up, but the fact remains that The Catholic Church has not changed the Ten Commandments. The fundamental moral precepts given by God to Moses remain unchanged.

    The Ten Commandments are found in the book of Exodus (Ex 20:1-17) and the book of Deuteronomy (Deut 5:6-21). These commandments are considered foundational in both the Jewish and Christian traditions. Ten Commandments as given by God. They emphasize the moral teachings contained in the commandments as essential for guiding human behavior, which are still held today and societies are built on them, and have been for generations, the CC always taught these and changed cultures to these principles

    The Magisterium of the Catholic Church consistently teaches that the moral principles outlined in the Ten Commandments are universal, timeless, and unchangeable. The Church's duty is to interpret and apply these commandments in the context of the contemporary world while preserving their essence.

    THE BOTTOM LINE IS SIMPLE TD, you can keep harping on all you want, The Catholic Church has not changed the Ten Commandments themselves, which are based on the biblical texts found in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy. However, the Church has its own catechetical interpretation and numbering system for the commandments, which may differ from those used in other Christian denominations and traditions.

    For instance, the Catholic Church combines the prohibition against having other gods (the first commandment) with the prohibition against graven images (the second commandment) into one commandment. Additionally, the commandment regarding coveting is divided into two separate commandments in Catholic teaching, addressing the desire for a neighbor's wife and the desire for a neighbor's goods.

    So, while the fundamental moral teachings remain consistent, the way they are presented and numbered may vary based on tradition.

    1. Historical Context: The Ten Commandments are derived from the Hebrew Bible (specifically Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5). Different Jewish and Christian traditions have interpreted and numbered the commandments differently since ancient times.
    2. Jewish Tradition: In Judaism, the Ten Commandments (known as the "Aseret HaDibrot") are numbered differently than in most Christian interpretations. For example, the Jewish tradition generally counts the first commandment as "I am the Lord your God," while the prohibition against idolatry is not considered a separate commandment.
    3. Reformed and Protestant Traditions: Many Protestant denominations, particularly those arising from the Reformation, follow a different numbering system. For example, the Lutheran tradition often splits the coveting commandment into two, similar to Catholicism, whereas many Reformed traditions (like those of the Reformed Church and Presbyterian Church) typically keep the commandments divided, reflecting their interpretation of Scripture.

    SO please spare us all on here of how you follow the correct numbering system while others don't
    The CC been there from day one and has been involved historically from the very foundation, knows all the ins and out of the bible, and its numbering Commandments system. The bible didn't drop from the sky
