"I still don't see the boasting in the canonization of the scriptures."

The purpose seems to be that the Scriptures are in competition with the "authority" of the RCC and must be undermined so as to enhance the position of the hierarchy.

I can see not other reason for the centuries-long attack.

[whispering out loud]

Ahhh I understand now, so in this they're saying they have more authority than the scriptures?

**The purpose seems to be that the Scriptures are in competition with the "authority" of the RCC and must be undermined so as to enhance the position of the hierarchy.**

This doesn't make sense to me. Holy Tradition and Holy Scripture support each other.

You wrote: "I can see not other reason for the centuries-long attack."

Please excuse a simple-minded question, but: WHAT centuries-long attack?

If you look at authoritative teachings of the Church --- Ecumenical Council documnts, encyclicals, catechisms, statements from Synods of Bishops --- you will not find any attack on Scriptures.

Explanation or documentation, please?

This is one of the most absurd statements I've ever read on Free Republic. Did you post that with a straight face?
