Great article Dr. Steve.

It appears from some of my discussions with our Catholic friends here the Vatican still controls much of the published content. It has been my experience, over and over, whenever a source is used by a Catholic it is always from a Catholic source. I understand their belief that anything other than a Catholic source is developed from the “heretic” point of view. But sometimes this even extends to bibliographies and historical information. Information, no matter how objective, if it is not from the Vatican is ignored.

This attitude seems to me to be an extension of the Vatican still trying to control views and doctrine. I wonder if the emphasis on the Pope over the Bible as the authoritative word wasn’t a direct result of the concern the Vatican had with the spread of the Bible. It would be a great extension of this article to trace how information is viewed and assimilated by Protestants and Catholics from the Reformation to current times.
