This is the most profoundly ignorant, (and stupid), post I've ever read on FR. Personally, I like to have quotes cited before I believe them.
The Catholic Church decided what books went into the Bible, not vice-versa. This 'haphazard' understanding of the Bible in the Catholic Church has an entire 2,000 years of historical explanation, as well as a Teaching Magisterium of which the Bible must be understood through.
Every other so-called "Christian" church makes it up as they go along, seemingly believing that the Bible fell from the sky on a parachute and is for each individual to dicipher for themselves. They actually have the audacity to think each 'denomination', (and in many cases each individual 'Christian'), have the divine commission to understand the Bible as they see fit.
Most protestants detest traditions because they aren't really old enough to have any. Protestantism in all of its forms is nothing more than a few select doctrines taken from the Catholic Church by various and sundry apostates who founded their own churches, and then taught negatively, as in "We DON'T believe in the Pope", "we DON'T vererate the holy Mother of God", "we DON'T believe in confession", etc, etc.
Do you see me carrying (holy) water for the Protestants? Then tossing them into your agruement is at best a red herring therefore dismissed out of hand.
Lets not forget that traditionally Catholic Church was defending politically correct sciences.
Maybe Catholic Church should be more focused on their spiritual responsibilities.
