Is this vitriol against fellow Christians really necessary at a time when there are real wolves at our door in our present day and age? We are all imperfect as humans and all Christians have done some harmfull deeds among many good ones. In my opinion, those who judge their brothers with such harshnes and slander, should be very afraid of our Father come judgement day. Please pray for these bitter misguided souls.

Lorraine Boettner’s book has been shown even by non-Catholics with a shred of objectivity to be a stinking pile of lies.

Tsk, tsk. I would suggest comparing at least one of Boettner's statement:

BENEDICT IX (1032-44, 1045, 1047-8) Elected pope at age eleven, he was twice driven from his position due to his participation in plunder, immorality, oppression and murder.

With New Advent:

The nephew of his two immediate predecessors, Benedict IX was a man of very different character to either of them. He was a disgrace to the Chair of Peter. Regarding it as a sort of heirloom, his father Alberic placed him upon it when a mere youth, not, however, apparently of only twelve years of age (according to Raoul Glaber, Hist., IV, 5, n. 17. Cf. V, 5, n. 26), but of about twenty (October, 1032). Of his pontifical acts little is known, except that he held two or three synods in Rome and granted a number of privileges to various churches and monasteries. ... Pope Benedict IX

About the only thing that seems to be in question with Boettner's claim is the age of Benedict when he began to rule. According to New Advent they point to Raoul Glaber's writings who was, historically speaking, a poor scholar. This is what New Advent has to say about Raoul Glaber:

Glaber is quite devoid of literary style; and critical spirit he has none, the most trivial events and tales being put on exactly the same plane as the most important facts. His chronology and geography are quite deficient; yet, despite all its faults, the work is interesting and useful, Glaber

Now if the Catholic Encyclopedia states that Glaber chronology is "deficient", why on earth would they use him to collaborate the age of Benedict? Boettner's assessment is absolutely correct.
