“For the truth of Catholicism go to Mass.”

I was an alter boy. Been there. Seen it. Many times. The truth that was there was covered up with millenia of accretions that are not
in the Bible.

“In what sense does the article “fall short of the Bible”?”

Poor hermeneutics. Eisogesis instead of exegesis.

Plus the goofy calling out itself...

The luturgy is not in the Bible in the literal sense, of course, — although I cannot think of any other place one is exposed to so much logically organized scripture than at Mass.

The author made a case for Catholicism from the Bible. If you have a critique of it, pompous throwing of big words like “hermeneutics” around is not going to cut it; you are going to have to be specific.

Interesting how of nearly 100 posts no one really addressed the article.
