To be deep in Scripture is to cease to be Catholic.
Newman was one of the greatest theologians of the 19th Century. But some on this boards actually think they know more about Christianity that he did. Amazing.
Protestantism was born of wrongly interpreted scripture as distorted by Martin Luther. Sola Fida and Sola Scriptura are man made interpretations that were made later by Luther and his cohorts. James 2:17 Faith without works is dead.
All of Catholicism is founded in scripture - each and every doctrine is completely scriptural, and it is a Protestant myth that Catholics neither study or understand the bible.
For example: the first bible to be printed was in 1450’s, before the Reformation, and was a translation of the Latin Vulgate. By the way the so called apocrypha (Deuterocanical books) were in this book because Martin Luther hadn’t been born yet to decide that they were not in the “bible”. Scripture IS Catholic.
St. Jerome was Catholic and spent his entire life translating the bible directly from Hebrew in the 300’s - long before Luther - and Catholics aren’t deep in Scripture? This is ludicrous and contraty to the facts of history.
