I think it would have been more sporting if they had let the Bible defend itself, but then that would have spoiled all the "secrets of the deposit of faith" which contradict scriptures. LOL
"secrets of deposit of faith" sure sounds gnostic. Those folks believed understanding the "secret knowledge" would bring salvation. None of it make sense when you take a look at the larger picture. Though, I do appreciate those few RC's that understand their church and it's teachings that are willing to explain what they are. My experience has been the vast majority have no idea about half of these beliefs they are commanded to believe.
