It is the stiff necked and the proud referenced by St. Stephen in Acts & from Moses that refuse the Word of God and rely on the snippets of the words of men.

That's odd. Protestants and Evangelicals constantly appeal to the unchanging authority of Scripture and you criticize us for refusing the Word of God when that's what we quote using Scripture?

We don't hold to the traditions of men and you accuse us of relying on the words of men?

We rely on Scripture. Are you saying that the Bible is just words of men?

That's exactly what some of them say.

Check out Gamecock's homepage for what some RCs think of the Bible.

Read the Westminster Confession of Faith and tell me what Christian portions there are, and what novelties of Calvin there are.

Absolutely you do, beginning with the novelties of the Reformation including sola scriptura but not sola scriptura, and removing books from the Bible.

Let's add Math to Scripture, History, Languages, and the Catechism in the list of things that the anti-Catholics get absolutely wrong. There are only about 32,000 verses in the Bible (Old + New Testament) and more than 33,000 denominations. Obviously there is a unique Protestant definition of a constant.
