I like this remark:

For God’s sake take care that your judgment does not deceive you. Why, I pray you, do you call false, things which the whole of antiquity has held as articles of faith? Why do you not rather censure your fancies which will not embrace the doctrine of these books, than censure these books which have been received for so long a time because they do not jump with your humor? Because you will not believe what the books teach, you condemn it; why do you not rather condemn your presumption which is incredulous to their teaching?

I think it is what should be sent to all those Biblical scholars who push forward the histoico-critical method as though it provides an necessary key.

Amen! He's my favorite Doctor of the Church, and my favorite saint after Our Lady and St. Joseph.

Amen.

He's my patron saint, and my screen name on another Christian forum (I am a minority there!). I am convinced he is praying for me.

Regards
