He knows his stuff.
While being raised devout, and a new-miss-a-Sunday/holy-day mass when I prayerfully left Rome, I have learned far more of it since that time.
And while i can appreciate aspects such as the piety of men such as Scripture-devotee Basil of Caesarea, overall what I have found is that the more you get deeper in Scripture as well as history, but with the former being determinative of doctrine, then the more Rome is manifest as the largest deformation of the NT church, with her accretion of mere traditions of men.
