The contents of the Decretals? Um, never. There's been alot of bloviating about them but we've never actually looked at what is in them and what they say or what meaning they have in history. But that is another story.
You talk about forged Scripture and the decretals or Ignatius or whatever is not Scripture. Duh. Words mean things.
40-50 forged Gospels, eh? What the hell are you talking about now?
Anybody have a clue what Havoc is talking about?

Not usually (I don't interpret tongues). But I think in this case he is refering to all of the non-canonical "gospels" (Thomas etc.) written in the first couple centuries. All of those books that never made the canon, but concerned the sayings or deeds of Christ. Some parts undoubtedly true, most demonstrably false. Since they were written in the first couple centuries, it's good that Havoc recognizes that they were written by Catholics (this is a big admission for someone who previously didn't think they existed that far back), but of course, it was the Church that decreed that they were not canonical, so you can hardly say that the Church wrote them.
