"THEIR arguments from silence are evil and heretical and nonsense. While mine are orthodox, righteous and wonderful."

That's an example of the straw man fallacy. Catholicism does not depend on arguments from silence or secret gnostic/deistic theories (e.g. that God at some time in history lifted His anointing from His Church, only to return it to some American charismatics in the twentieth century). If you want the evidence, dig deep into the history of the first four hundred years of the Church. The evidence is all there.

Well without this thread getting too contentious, yes it does. Syncretism is one.
