Actually, if America had been founded by Catholics, America would have been founded earlier as the Brits were not too keen on Catholicism in the 1700s, remember?

I read Lobachevsky in college.
Always partial to Gibbs myself. One thing is certain, you can never know enough mathematics.
To: delacoert
Saint John’s College was all about original sources, and Lobachevsky is who they gave us. I agree in principle that one can not have enough mathematics. However, time, work, other interests, and natural incapacity are determining factors. I would have liked doing more calculus, but I like theology more.

Interesting history, St. John’s College.
To: Cronos
I’ve read some works in the past that suggest the Anabaptist link is weak but I certainly agree with you that it is preposterous to claim an unbroken chain from the apostles to Baptists.

Since faith and regeneration are the gifts of God, we don’t need to prove unbroken apostolic succession. It’s not necessary. The faith of the apostles is what matters, not traditions. Only God can give that.

Faith and regeneration ARE gifts from God, and Apostolic Succession only helps in ensuring that we maintain the Faith and not slip into heresies like Arianism, Montanism, etc. By sticking true to the Faith handed down to us we steer clear of Seventh Day Adventism, Christian Science, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and the like.
The Faith of the apostles is what matters and tradition ensures that we mortal men and women know when we get off that path.
