[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Excellent article and summary, thanks!

I predict, however, that before this thread finally dies down, you will be:

• Called an "anti-Catholic bigot"

• Told that you "just don't understand what Catholicism teaches"

• Told to read the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while the one telling you to do this hopes that you don't, in fact, actually have a copy nor can you find one readily accessible from a third-party source.

• Pointed to a link of a Presbyterian or Baptist pastor who molested a little girl twenty-five years ago.

• Told that sola scriptura can't possibly be legitimate because, well, because we said so.

I'm sure there are some others I'm forgetting.

You forgot "Webster is a poor scholar." Don't worry, I took care of it already.

And the Catechism can be found on the Vatican website (Link to Catechism). No reason for us to hide it from anyone, nor to hope that Protestants don't read it.

Nor is "because we said so" a good reason to claim that Sola Scriptura is illegitimate. That the idea is foreign to the first 1200+ years of Christianity will suffice.

INDEED.

I think that about sums it up.
