Ah, well it was a flop because the bait was not tempting.
It’s the old...”tradition holds that such and such wrote such a book and if a sola scripturist will admit the possibility that such a tradition may have validity, then his belief in Sola Scriptura can be shown to have no foundation...thus the poor shaken “Solaist”(who very much was trying to be just like the Bereans) can be challenged and his faith in “scripture alone” destroyed with the question of whether or not other more questionable “traditions of the Catholic Church” might have merit, despite having no validity to be found in settled canon” ....gambit!
(run on sentence deliberatley employed for sarcastic stream of consciousness effect!)
Yawwwnn, like we couldn’t have seen thru that ploy!
