Well, seeing as where his belief in Scripture CAME from, I'd say, quite a lot, wouldn't you?

Oh! His belief in Scripture came from the Roman Catholic Church? BTW. Can you tell me when the Church changed from catholic to Catholic to Roman?

I don't think we can say exactly when "Catholic" became a proper name. Even when it was merely an adjective it still referred to the same institution.

Now the "Roman" thing came in when the Anglicans broke from Rome and wished to pretend they were still Catholic. So they developed "Roman" as a modifier and as a pejoritive.

You don't know where and when the term "Roman Catholic Church" originated? Here's a hint: the Roman Catholic Church doesn't exist. ;-) (pssst: it's called "The Catholic Church")

And can you get those answers to my citation questions please? I'm assuming that you either have the texts handy or have access to the documents themselves via online?
