I find myself asking the air, “How can the Catholic Church claim Apostolic Authority when such evil is so entrenched and protected within the Chruch?” I suppose I should just shut up that inner voice and thank God for Luther.

It’s been there since the beginning. Judas Iscariot betrayed Our Lord, and St. Peter denied Him.

Well, we can and do certainly thank God for Luther and Calvin and all Reformers who reclaimed the Gospel truth that man is justified by the one-time, perfect, God-ordained atonement of Jesus Christ alone.

I recommend studying the Donatist heresy.
