Indeed. Did you see the posts which admitted the apocryphal writings WERE the source of the doctrine? And then defended such by claiming some good doctrine can come from a condemned text? Unbelievable! Didn’t the church fathers argue and toil against heresies and then demand such texts be destroyed? Yet we have those who claim these fathers as doctors and saints but disregard their warnings of false doctrines.

Just thought I would point out this fallacious approach.

It's a wonder that the fact that they use an admitted and previously condemned as heretical text to support a doctrine that is so critical to them and is incorporated into the CCC which they must adhere to at the risk of losing their salvation doesn't cause some of them to wonder just what is going on in their church.

Instead it's this:

All the while condemning US as heretics and mouth breathers.
