Jerome followed the false teaching of asceticism, believing the state of celibacy to be spiritually superior to that of marriage, and demanding that church leaders be unmarried.

Well, there was this guy named Paul that said it was superior but what did he know?

Considering that the vast majority of Catholics and Orthodox not only accept nineteenth century liberal Protestant Biblical criticism, but see it as one of their main distinctions from "fundamentalists," it seems to me that there is a certain amount of hypocrisy in attacking evangelicals for having modern "fathers."

Where would Catholics and Orthodox be without the Reformation which gave birth to such men? They'd be "fundamentalists" themselves.
