>> My father-in-law is a pastor. I never heard him say such a thing. But, his impetus is teaching faith based upon the word of God. <<

That's one of the silly notions about Catholics that the author attempts to disabuse people of: All Catholic doctrine is based on public Revelation (i.e., the Scripture). No Catholic is compelled to believe anything based on private revelation.

He's a "Bible Believing" pastor. When I come to him with a question about faith, his answer ALWAYS is... "Read Matthew, or look in the Psalms..." THEN he says what he thinks. He constantly turns me back to the Bible, again and again.

Then how do we account for all of the VISIONS that so many folks put FAITH in these days?
