An Absurd Explanation of a Catholic Priest in Removing the Second Commandment from the Roman Catholic Catechism

Hare are some words taken from "Truth Encounter" pages 207-208... the setting is at the University of the Philippines' "Christ Awareness Week" to which Pastor Anthony Pezzotta had the chance to speak in:
A Catholic student asked why the Catholic Church erased the second commandment from the decalogue given by Moses: "You shall not make yourself idols... and you shall not bow down to them." (Exodus 20:4) The Catholic priest, who had a doctorate in the Holy Scriptures earned in Rome, responded by saying that this commandment was only reserved for the Israelites who started worshiping idols in the desert. He continued by saying that it was a big mistake to believe that this commandment should apply in to the 20th century. "Holy Scriptures," he said insisted, "should never be taken out of context as Evangelical Christians do when they apply this commandment to Christians all the time."  
(Comment: Seriously, this accusation has gone far too long while they are GUILTY of doing it themselves, that's why I refuse to debate with Roman Catholic apologists because it's a complete waste of time. I'd rather share Scriptures with them, try to win them to Jesus and if they don't, leave them be and pray for their salvation rather than engage in useless quarrels) 
It was my time to respond. After silent prayer in my heart I simply asked the priest to explain what was the time and context of this commandment. After he repeated that this was during the Israelites' Exodus from Egypt, I asked: "And what is the time and context of the other NINE commandments?" After several embarrassing seconds of silence, he honestly said, "Well the time was the same and the context... the same too." Of course he couldn't answer otherwise because the people in the auditorium well knew that God had given ALL of the ten commandments at the same time and int he same circumstances. So I insisted, "Does the Roman Catholic Church accept the sixth and seventh commandments (For Catholics, the fifth and the sixth) 'You shall not kill. You shall not commit adultery'?" His answer was obviously had to be a yes. "To be consistent," I concluded "the Roman Catholic Church should also reject these two commandments because they were given at the same time and in the same historical context as the second!" There was a standing ovation after this statement. I almost felt bad for the Catholic priest. I wish he could have given a better answer.

Seriously that was just plainly ABSURD. The priest's reasoning was just absurd. It's no wonder why Roman Catholic apologists are quick to LIE that they have caused the book "Truth Encounter" to be dropped like a hot potato. I just had my thoughts that while the Roman Catholic priests and faith defendsers have been accusing me or my fellow believers to be taking Scriptures out of context, they are the ones doing it in their arguments. Clearly, their traditions are manmade, not based on the Bible. The Apostle Paul warned, "Therefore brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which ye have been taught whether by wordour our epistle." That is EVERY tradition of the Christian church comes from the BIBLE not the councils or Popes that clearly contradict themselves. Indeed, it's the same sickness with the Pharisees who in Mark 7:8-13 reject the Word of God to pursue their own traditions and not the tradition that God had commanded His people to practice. As said, popularity doesn't make anything right or wrong, it's moral standards that matters.

Here's an excerpt from the soulwinning video Catholicism: Crisis of Faith to which the official Roman Catholic website really hates because of the truth it exposes the truth. Here's some words from a former Jesuit priest:
VICTOR AFFONSO - FORMER JESUIT PRIEST "You shall not make for yourselves an idol," or a statue, or a picture, "in the form of anything in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below." 
NARRATOR Victor Affonso served as a Jesuit priest for twenty-one years. 
VICTOR AFFONSO - FORMER JESUIT PRIEST "You shall not bow down to them" or worship them. It's the same word. 
NARRATOR Though part of the Ten Commandments in the Catholic Bible, the Catholic Church regularly omits this command from catechisms.Yet it still comes up with ten. 
VICTOR AFFONSO - FORMER JESUIT PRIEST And how come they still got ten? They took the last one which is "Thou shall not covet your neighbor's wife; you shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house, or land, manservant, maidservant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." They divided this into two. They made nine: "Man shall not covet his neighbor's wife," and ten: "Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods." So they had the Ten Commandments. 
Now this is CROOKERY. This is TRICKERY. You've changed the commandments. 
But why did you drop the second commandment? Because there is a lot of business in making statues. 
NARRATOR Though the Scriptures were clear, the traditions of the church (Roman Catholic, emphasis mine) were followed.
