[Dr. Eckleburg]

The Church believes, and has always believed, that the quotations of Christ are worth immeasureably more than the writings of the Chronicler. The difference between the Creator and the created.

"Immeasurably more???"

Thus the church in Rome displays its arrogant myopia regarding God's word.

I must thank you Dr. E. for the very clear illumination of the difference between the Reformation and Christianity. We believe that the words of Christ - God Almighty - are more important than anything else in the world. We believe that the words of men are less important.

The Reformed believe that the words of men are as or more important than the words of God. Have at it and good luck to you. Should you ever wish to become Christian, we would only ask that you repent of your Reformed sins.

arrogant myopia regarding God's word

It's mind-boggling. Here Peter himself says that God gave wisdom to Paul and that Paul's writings are scripture. Can we surmise that Catholics don't have much use for Paul and pretty much we know why, and interesting, Peter says really, that if they don't understand Paul, neither do they understand the other scriptures and that would of course include anything that Jesus (and Mary) said

2 Peter 3:15

And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

16As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction
