The Rapture is a false doctrine, but it certainly does not originate with sola scriptura.

I agree. Actually, until I started reading this part of FR, I didn't know what sola scriptura meant. Baptists in the Church I come from never use that term! But since I now know, the rapture doctrine definitely doesn't come from that!

It is a fact that the rapture theology was not born out of the Tradition held by either Catholics or Orthodox. In that respect, it is uniquely Protestant. Since a rejection of said Tradition in favor of "Scripture Alone" was part and parcel of the Reformation, I don't think Destro's statement can be fairly dismissed out of hand.
