I don’t even know who David Cloud is.

The info I got, when I searched Bing for the source, was Wikipedia.

The Council of Trent is not hard to find - I quoted it.

It is a matter of history that Luther was summoned to the Diet of Worms by the Roman Catholics in charge, charged with heresy, excommunicated, declared an outlaw. How can you deny that?

It is better if you acknowledge the errors that the RC church has committed over the years, rather than pretend they don’t exist. And certainly, rejoice in all that the church has done right. I am happy to admit to errors when I see them in a Protestant church. Only God is perfect.

Really? Let’s see. This is what you wrote:

The Council added these words: “That if any one shall dare to read or keep in his possession that book, without such a license, he shall not receive absolution till he has given it up to his ordinary.” “

Now, I checked a Protestant translation of Trent’s decrees. And that quote isn’t in there. What you do find is that Protestants have been quoting it for 150 years and provide no actual source quote for it whatsoever: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&hl=en&q=That+if+any+one+shall+dare+to+read+or+keep+in+his+possession+that+book%2C+without+such+a+license%2C+he+shall+not+receive+absolution+till+he+has+given+it+up+to+his+ordinary&btnG=

I think the quote is bogus. I checked all the key words and no such quote appears except in anti-Catholic books. Imagine that.

Like I said: Protestant anti-Catholics always lie. They have to.
