"Boy that Sola Scriptura is just a catchall for all that's wrong in the theological world. Well there's that Martin Luther fellow too. Can't forget about him.

Before you give too great an endorsement of Martin Luther remember that he remained, at heart, a Catholic priest and theologian who lamented at the consequences of his actions. Those who focus on where he differed with the orthodoxy of the Catholic Church ignore the many, many areas that he embraced the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I am confident that Luther would not recognize and would be horrified by much of what Protestantism has become.

As for Sola Scriptura, Luther never proposed the Scriptural exclusivity than many Protestants today profess. Luther's Sola Scriptura was that of Sriptural sufficiency.

Thanks for supporting my views on Catholics obsession with Sola Scriptura and Martin Luther. Martin Luther was fallible and had a great conflict with separation from his church but he could not ignore the plain Truths of the Bible. The church teachings were so ingrained in him, he could only go so far in challenges.
