"Please cite your source for this "quote" of Cardinal Newman that you have used several times now. I'd like to see the whole context for it." Are you helpless? Did you even attempt to look? Sheesh! Here's one example: You also recollect how an impostor, called Teodore, declaimed such shocking things, and wrote such indecent pamphlets against us, that they cannot have been intended for any other purpose than to afford merriment to the haunts of profligacy and vice; yet he was followed for a time, was admitted into Protestant places of {176} worship, and honoured as a truth-telling oracle, till at length he was plainly detected to be what every one from the first would have seen he really was, were it usual to do the same common justice to Catholics which every Protestant considers his due;—for falsehood is the basis of the Protestant Tradition. http://www.newmanreader.org/works/england/lecture4.html

Why, yes, I DID bother to search for a quote from Cardinal Newman that said, “Protestants have to lie.”. He didn’t really say that, did he? But thanks for the link anyway.
