but about the authority and veracity of the Scriptures and the sufficiency of faith in Christ alone for salvation

Oh yeah, those Scriptures...where did he get those again? Oh! Now I know. The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Doh!

Did the church invent Jesus, too?

Yes there was a time when the church was "one holy catholic and apostolic". But the canon of Holy Scripture was set by council, a method of dispute resolution which seemed to work quite well until the filioque controversy-- and then who blew the bridge in 1054?

So far all I see is "armed" and "Catholic", and yes, that was many a European Protestant's nightmare for a couple of centuries. But please do thank the Pope for kicking my ancestors asses, because the ones who survived came to New Amsterdam. Nice to see so many of Catholics acknowledge the superiority of Protestant social order by voting with your feet and immigrating here even though it must grieve you terribly to have to live amongst heretics.

Too bad that's so often confused with the Roman Church.
