What complete crock of lunacy. Catholics freely accept the teachings of our Church or leave like some of the more ignorant anti-Catholics on FR. The difference is that we have the benefit of the greatest spiritual and theological minds in history working under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for nearly 2,000 years.

Here's a newsflash...And 8 year old kid could put your great spiritual and theological minds to shame, if the Holy Spirit led him to do so...

And if your guys were working under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it wouldn't have taken 400 years for your great minds to find the Trinity...

could put your

to shame,
[and rather easily]
if the Holy Spirit led him to do so...

And
if
your guys
were working under the guidance of the Holy Spirit,
it wouldn't have taken 400 years
for your "great [demonized] minds
to [finally condescend]
[to] "find"
the Trinity...

[Actually,
I've known Jr High kids
who could drive a Mack truck
through the holes in Vatican "theology."

Always interesting to meet somebody who knows God's timetable, or thinks he does.

The crypto-Gnostic notion that everything was given and worked out to the minutest degree before the closing of the canon leads to the misconception that there was nothing left to unfold.

But a millennium and a half pass and then, suddenly Luther says this, Calvin that, Zwingli something else, Arminius something else again, and then after there was silence for the space of a half hour -- or maybe a few hundred years -- Darby and Scofield unpack the distillation of all truth less than 200 years ago.

All these hundreds of years for the Scofield Baptists to surface (from the strangely undocumented continual existence from the time that Jesus came to the Jordan) while the Catholic Church is derogated for being dilatory in articulating the Trinity.

It's a tough sell.
