“. If I’m reading the info correctly, to earn his divinity degree he didn’t have to take any Greek/Hebrew as required classes...they were electives.

You are probably spot on.

I reviewed 3 prominent seminary curriculum requirement and all were extremely thin on Bible and languages - almost an afterthought.

All the pagan stuff was taught though.

There sure is a LOT of that, isn't there?
I think I have said it before, but I knew a pastor in Houston, Tx. He was an ex Catholic himself, and the author of several books. He said it this way. As far as the cults go, the less real spiritual "light" there is in a cult, the more "lights" it has to have, to remain somewhat attractive to the people. I would classify many of the false beliefs and sacraments, as false "lights" the Catholic Church must have, to show any semblance of attractiveness to their adherents. 👎
