We Prods have always suspected that FRoman Catholics have a low view of scripture.

Not at all. We do not, however, worship it. In particular, I personally do not worship Paul, nor do I hang on his every word in the NT. I tend to think he was insane. However, God can do anything, use anybody.

I would like to see the Prods quote a BIT more of the Gospels, however, particularly the words in red. All y'all seem unfamiliar with them....

That’s comforting.

I’m blessed to be thrown in with Paul on such scores. LOL.

Of course, God likely has a different view on Paul and probably even on me.

So despite your statement to the contrary, you do have a low view of Scripture. Regardless of his state of mind Romans and the rest of his writings are in in the canon. That is one thing Roman Catholics agree on. His works were inspired by God. To dismiss 1/3 of the NT as the work of a madman is to hurl insults at the Holy Spirit.

Now back to my original question, slightly rephrased: Is this your opinion or is it Roman Catholic doctrine? Does your priest teach this or did you make it up all by yourself?

Why focus on the words in red, when the whole of the Bible is God’s word? Does red ink make it superior?
