However you do believe in the trinity right? The Catholic double standards are amazing.

CynicalBear:

Of course I believe in it, and yes, it is a Theological word not in the Bible either. So in a way, you are making my point. Incarnation is not a word we see in the English Bible either, although it is in Jerome’s Latin Version of John 1:14, or the word incarnation is derived from.

As for Jerome, here is the introduction from P. Schaff’s translation of his works. While he doesn’t come outright and say “Jerome was the greatest Greek Scholar”, I think this introduction, written by a Reformed Protestant Church Historian, does support Saint Jerome being among the 4 greatest Western Doctors of the Latin Church, along with Saint Augustine, Ambrose and Hillary of Potiers. Those 3 were more Theologians, Augustine and Ambrose also Bishops. Saint Jerome was the Biblical Scholar among the 4. Hence, my claim he was the greatest Biblical Scholar of Patristic era.
