Yes to any number of clerics having faith under assault. And, of course I get the 2 sides of (a)you gotta believe what's IN Scripture and (b) you don't gotta believe what is not or what can't be proved thereby. (See, just for fun, Article VI of the "Article of Religion.")

What I was trying to say was that the problem of "the Church can err," is greater for the kind of hybrid position of some Anglicans than for out and out Protestants.

While, clearly, I disagree with Protestants about some things,, that doesn't mean I don't see the admirable (if not perfect) internal consistency of some of them.

Thanks for your cogent post.
