Oh?? Dave Hunt is a "Catholic-basher" because...I assume he exposes inconsistancies, hypocracies, and non-scriptural dogma??

Ever read his A Woman Rides the Beast? I have. The historical scholarship is woefully lacking (he has no sense of perspective in church history.) He just assumes the worst about the Catholic church, without examining the motivations of the people who wrote against her. Not every Reformer had noble intentions (and remember: I'm Calvinist!). Many were Reformed because of political or economic considerations. Some of the pamphlets written about the Catholic church are sort of like the articles about Bush that you'll find on DU.

Is Dave Hunt lying about something?? And please do explain how he has made you a victim.

Try What Love is This, his screed against Calvinism (they're "too Catholic." LOL.) If that is indicative of his scholarship, EVERYTHING he writes is suspect in my mind.

"Ever read his 'A Woman Rides the Beast'? I have."

Yes, I have as well...

Even if you assume 25% of the premises, or "facts" in Hunt's book are out of context or open to interpretation, it still leaves another 75% of which must be seriously considered.

I'll check out 'What is Love'...

"EVERYTHING he writes is suspect in my mind."

In Hunt's defense, just imagine the walls of silence and road blocks he's run into in disseminating truth from fiction under the circumstances.

Let's face it -- all naivety aside, the CC is indeed a powerful force to be reckoned with when it comes to protecting their own interests, traditions, AND especially, history.
