Wow, I've seen it all now...a FRoman Catholic citing a Beggars All Reformation link! Now, why don't you actually GO there and read the thing! It doesn't say what you might think it does!http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2006/11/luther-infallible-church-declared.html

Especially not when you read this point:

    Is Luther conceding an infallible church gave us the canon? Absolutely not. Is Luther saying an infallible extra-biblical tradition produced the Canon? Absolutely Not. Luther is simply saying that he learned about the Scriptures, Baptism, and the Pulpit, etc. from the Church of his day, in the same way the Prophets were born into a society in which the religious structure of their day was functioning, and gave the Old Testament people a religious context to live in. The visible church indeed promulgated the Scriptures and Christian doctrine. Who can deny this? But simply because they did so, does not mean the visible church in Rome infallibly declared the canon of Scripture.

Is commentary the same as the scripture themselves? Luther himself conceded that the Catholic preserved and gave the world the Bible and who am I to argue with Herr Doktor when he is correct about something.
