He pulled the mask off and instead of Catholics staying on topic and refuting it with documentation, it became a personal attack feeding frenzy, going off on tangents that had nothing to do with the topic, but which only purpose seems to be to discredit people.

Attacking the messenger, not the message.

Par for the course.

Bless you Mom.

It is always a Personal Attack,
whether direct or by innuendo.

They do not have scriptural support for their Tradition.

See 33 above for an outrageous attack.

The irony about which has authority is that the RCC claims that it has authority over Scripture because it *wrote* it, and that the RCC is the final authority.

But the problem is, the RCC cannot confer authority to itself. That is meaningless. The only thing that can give the RCC authority is something else outside the RCC which has greater authority.

So then they appeal to the authority of Scripture to give them authority over it. Thus they are by default recognizing the authority of Scripture over the church.

It’s simply not possible to claim to be more authoritative than something and then appeal to that thing to give you authority.

"Attacking the messenger, not the message."

It is indeed an interesting game some try to play claiming that an attack on a Church with a billion members cannot not be personal but any attack on the doctrines of a Church of one adherent cannot be anything other than personal. The reasonable man would conclude that this is only a ploy to manipulate the forum rules to their benefit to permit them to waive the bloody shirt of their self-perceived martyrdom.
