The Catholic Church at the time of Luther was not something that today's Catholics would be happy with either. There were real, actual, serious problems, and they didn't appear overnight with Constantine. The Reformation didn't just happen because some people went loco 500 years ago.

Agreed! Even today, the Catholic Church has traveresed some rocky roads yet, throughout it all, the doctrines of the Catholic Church have remained faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Her leaders may not be perfect (no one is without sin except Christ) but her doctrines are.

well said, even though I don't agree with much of Catholic Doctrine. I wish the author had gone more into the early writings, and how they reflect certain doctrines that are contentious today. Like maybe pick three or four, and analyze them. That would be educational for all. Of course it would be fair to ask if I am too intellectually lazy to do it myself.......
