"The Bible is a Catholic document. It was Catholics who decided what to put in and what to leave out."

It's not a document, it's a collection of writings. Too bad these men decided what scripture we could have and not God.

Tradition and our obedience to the the successor to St. Peter, the Pope.

Even Catholic scholars call this link dubious at best. If Linus had truly been the successor of Peter, he would have been an Apostle as Peter was. He would have had to have been equal to Peter in authority. When Peter died, John and Paul were still alive and God went to them and spoke to them. He never spoke to this guy Linus.

You have no case.

Tim Staples was your typical enthusiastic Protestant, on fire for his faith—until he met the “wrong” Marine: a Catholic man who was both willing and able to defend his faith.

How did Tim Staples, an extremely anti-Catholic man, get started on the path to Rome? What happened to cause the little boy who wanted to be a preacher just like Billy Graham to grow up and become a well-known Catholic apologetics speaker instead? How did the man Tim set out to “save” end up saving him? How can a Protestant Bible school be the place where the gift of Catholic faith is forged? Let Tim tell you his story . . .Why was Tim defending the Catholic Church during his time at Jimmy Swaggart Bible College? Find out how this school expedited the process of Tim becoming Catholic! Why did Tim feel so alone on the cusp of becoming a Catholic? The heart-breaking decision Tim had to make while on the verge of conversion.
