I consider this a personal attack against Scott Hahn and am not very happy with it.

And you find it necessary to go crying to the Religion Mod?

Are you serious?

Where were you when this was posted?

I think the best point was there might be millions of people who hate what they mistakenly believe the Catholic Church to be and to teach

Many Protestants are brainwashed in the same way asMuslims -- with the same false rumours potrayed as facts.

No complaints from you here. I must assume you agree with this blatant "Protestant bashing".

Or here:

Because he's changed his mind you now consider him suspect? After all, the two greatest heretics of all time, Luther and Calvin, changed their minds.

Personal attacks against Luther and Calvin and no complaints from you.

And a classic "Protestant bash" from, of all people, you:

BTW, just where did your "protestant" Bible come from anyway?

From the Catholic version preserved through the ages. (But changed by Luther.)

Pot and kettle? There must be no mirrors in your house.

PRotestant bashing? Now, let's investigate? Did I insinuate that Protestant teaching was incorrect or evil? No. Did I say a blanket statement condemning all Protestants? I said Many are brainwashed. And that is evidenced over and over again as the same litany of supposed crimes by the Church are paraded and the things Catholics are supposed to do -- all of which are false. Oh, and I don't blame the people who believe this -- most just repeat what was taught to them -- as the author of this article pointed out.

So, how is it Protestant bashing? Muslims too are brainwashed. They believe that Christians worship 3 Gods, because that's what their leaders tell them we do. Are they correct? No. Are they evil because they've been mislead? No. Similarly, some Protestants believe that Catholics too, worship Mary and hold her as God because that's what they've been taught. Are they correct? No. Are these Protestants evil becuase they've been mislead? No.

So, on what basis do you call this Protestant bashing?

hmmm... what is a heretic? let's check Dictionary.com

her·e·tic
n

A person who holds controversial opinions, especially one who publicly dissents from the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic Church.

So, did Luther and Calvin publicly dissent from the officially accepted dogma of the Roman Catholic Church? YES.

Were they the most famous, the greatest of these dissenters? YES.

Now, what is wrong with that statement? It's NOT a personal attack against Luther and Calvin, smatterofact, it seems a right compliment -- the greatest Dissenters.

BTW, just where did your "protestant" Bible come from anyway? From the Catholic version preserved through the ages. (But changed by Luther.)

Where DID the KJV come from? Since it was written in the 1600s, it derived from earlier sources -- and all the earlier sources available to it at that time were the Roman Catholic, Latin Vulgate versions. So, it WAS from what was the whole Christian church's bible. Did Luther change it? Yes, at least in one way -- he chucked out the book of Maccabbeees etc. So, again, HOW IS IT PROTESTANT BASHING?

btw. thanks for keeping us in the loop.
