“If that helps you sleep at night. Although, I will expect you to not challenge nor disallow citations from Roman Catholics who expound on their personal opinions of things Catholic and are called “Catholic authorities”. Are you comfortable with that?”
Since Protestants (scholars, clergy, laypeople) in his own day recognized Cram as I described him, you would have to choose people who are comparable. I have no reason to believe you are either capable of doing so or motivated to do so.
Cram also was recognized by his fellow Protestants to be orthodox - as much as that can be recognized in a general way since sectarianism is such an inherent fault of the Protestant world. Any Catholic you would call an authority should be likewise recognized as orthodox by the Catholic Church. I have little reason to believe you are interested in relying on such a person.
How many times have the nihil obstat and Imprimatured writings of Alphonsus Maria de' Liguori and his over-the-top exaltation of the Virgin Mary been dismissed as "only his personal opinions" here? Would YOU consider him "orthodox"? Yet, here you are defending some architect who happened to be "Protestant" (actually High-Anglican, which is as close to Roman Catholic as one can get) who voiced his own biased opinion about architectural preferences. When you find his religious views published somewhere, then I might care to discuss him further.
It's actually humorous that you fight tooth and nail over the most minute details discussed here. I'm actually surprised how furiously you try to defend your "rightness" and everyone else's "wrongness". I can only sympathize with your spouse as this character trait is rarely confined to Internet sites.
