The difference between Protestant apologists' criticism of Roman Catholic apologists' perspectives is that the former have Scriptural evidence for their beliefs and practices while the latter are condemned to remain naked of all such support.

"That God's word damns your ceremonies it is evident; for the plain and straight commandment of God is, 'Not that thing which appears good in thy eyes shalt thou do to the Lord thy God, but what the Lord thy God has commanded thee; that do thou; add nothing to it; diminish nothing from it.' Now unless you are able to prove that God has commanded your ceremonies, this his former commandment will damn both you and them." -- John Knox (Knox, Works, 1:199. Cf. Calvin, The Necessity of Reforming the Church, in Tracts, 1:128-29.)

If I am to believe you, defending that statement with the musings of a mere mortal (Knox) makes you a Catholic apologist by definition.....LOL
