The truly intellectual and scholarly Lutherans and Episcopalians are beginning to see the light.

And those that don't are ignorant and unschooled?

Those are your words.

How would you describe the Moonies; followers of Jehovah’s Witnesses; Mormons, mainline denominations like Lutherans and Episcopalians who now ordain gay married lesbians and homosexual bishops, the vapid nonsense of the Billy Grahams; Jeremiah Wrights; or Joel Osteens; Tammy Faye Bakers; Jimmy Swaggarts; Benny Hinns; Jim Jones and the David Koresh’s?

Are we to take “your” and someone else’s interpretation by folks who crack open the pages of the Bible and offer us their interpretations? From a Bible whose books did not fall from the skies and self-assemble themselves but were infallibly assembled by the Catholic Church after sorting through hundreds of writings and cross-checking their veracity with the received tradition and firmly acknowledging these books to be the written “Word of God” and have interpreted this written word infallibly 2000 years as the ONE Church speaking the ONE truth?

Having been a student of theology myself, I’d rather follow the faith of the early Church fathers, and the the irrefutable doctrine of Petrine authority and the ONE Church Christ founded for all time.

What you’d call folks like us, or Augustine, Aquinas, Newman, or Benedict or for that matter the pre-eminent list of Protestant theologians who have decamped and converted to the Catholic faith I would not know? Or for that matter such laypeople as Justice Thomas, Judge Robert Bork, Laura Ingraham?
