The Catholic Church correctly teaches that our Lord and His Apostles inculcated certain important duties of religion which are not recorded by the inspired writers.[See John xxi. 25; II. Thess. ii. 14.] For instance, most Christians pray to the Holy Ghost, a practice which is nowhere found in the Bible..

I'd say this fella is too educated to make an honest mistake like this...Therefore it has to be a 'dishonest' accusation for the purpose of keeping the people in the pews ignorant about Protestant Christianity...

But the comical part is the accusation of praying to the Holy Spirit isn't biblical while at the same time he teaches that it's a good thing to build an idol of Mary and pray to her...Which of course IS in the bible and you're instructed NOT TO DO IT...

We must, therefore, conclude that the Scriptures alone cannot be a sufficient guide and rule of faith

Well it appears that Jerome, who is so highly esteemed by this fella disagrees with this guy completely...

2Ti 3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

That pretty much clears that up...

because they cannot, at any time, be within the reach of every inquirer; because they are not of themselves clear and intelligible even in matters of the highest importance,

More propoganda for your church members...

and because they do not contain all the truths necessary for salvation..

This fella is a deceiver...

1Jo 5:13 These things I write to you that you may know that you have eternal life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God

Jerome wrote this...This WAS the position of YOUR church at one time...

I can't believe you guys would accept anything this guy has to say as truth...

What Bible verse says that we are to pray to the Holy Spirit? This "fella" is absolutely correct.

Nowhere does he say that we are to build idols. I suppose that the sections of Luke that deal with Mary are verboten to you. The Mother of God; all generations will call me blessed; and verses like that obviously mean other than what they obviously mean, right? We venerate, we have great respect for, we don't worship.

"2Ti 3:16 All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work."

It certainly does clear things up. It says ALL SCRIPTURE, not just the portions that you are quoting today. And it says that the man of God should try to be perfect...IN EVERY GOOD WORK. Yeah, every good work. I understand that it's tough being a Biblical cherry picker, taking things out of context, especially when you get called on it time after time. And it especially does not say that Scripture is all. It actually makes the case against that point, and rather well.

Every conclusion, supported by overwhelming Biblical and Church Father evidence is rejected by you. Biblical arguments are reduced by you to gainsaying and duelling Scriptural verses. You reject the 10 Commandments as being irrelevant. Do you consider yourself a Christian? If so, why?
