I read somewhere that there has been a recent concerted effort among leading Catholic apologists to use the "Sola Scriptura isn't identified in the Bible" strategy, and I think that's what we're seeing here. However, I agree with metmom that it amounts to a special pleading fallacy, because there are numerous doctrines that emerge from Scripture as taken from the totality of the evidence, yet such that no single passage states the doctrine in all it's contours.

All in all, Catholics are in absolute no position to point fingers and cry *...but it's not mentioned by name in the Bible*.

Another thing I have noticed that Catholics do, is say *If God meant this, why didn't He say .... (fill in the blank) and if it's not in the exact words that they think He should have used, they reject it.

That's ridiculous, demanding that God write something the way they think He should just to satisfy them.

Cause you know what? Even if it were stated as plainly as they demand, they still wouldn't accept it.

We see this all the time with verses that are posted about salvation being by grace through faith, not of works so that no man can boast, and that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit who is our GUARANTEE of our inheritance. And Catholics still deny that one can be sure of their salvation.
