“without Protestant Bias”
As opposed to anti-scripture bias.
It is one thing to render an opinion on things not clearly addressed by the Bible (and doing so based on consensus and solid historical records are certainly rational), but it is quite another to contradict the plain teachings of the Bible and deny that the Bible can be understood by its direct reading and thus render it moot based on a diabolically vehement desire to subordinate all followers of Christ to nonsensical superstitions and abominable rebellions to the commands of God.
My direct reading of the Bibles shows that it supports Catholic teachings. The truth is that Protestants are just as bound to their own traditions and mediated interpretations of the Bible as any Catholic.
The Bible is not easy to understand and that’s why we have the Cathecism of the Catholic Church.
No one can figure out the teachings in the Bible by themselves.
Even good ole boy Jimmy Swaggart has his own study Bible.
