indeed it seems the protestants on this thread have devolved into slandering the early church which gave them their Holy Scripture (born out of the Holy Tradition of the church)
It is fascinating to me in listening to "The Journey Home" programs how many Protestants "find" Patristics, the Church Fathers, and attribute that much to their journey home. Many also admit that the biggest problem they have is with Marian Doctrines and those are often the last to be accepted. That is why these threads seem to cause such an outpouring of interest as opposed to those on salvation, for example.
