I sure hope you're not an attorney in life.

I'm beginning to think he didn't even sleep at a Holiday Inn last night.

Rather, The catholic position ignores the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura using only the Protestant Bible as the sole authority on this issue.

The selected application of Sola Scriptura in your comment exposes its shortcoming. Not having an injunction or example in the Protestant Bible is insufficient to declare something true or false. There are no injunctions or examples of other truths you likely take for granted in the Protestant Bible either, principal among them Sola Scriptura itself, nor the Canon, with the last book in said Bible identifying all the preceding books to be included in said Bible.

The other problem haunting Protestantism and its derivative movements is a dissonant lack of historicity.

Actually, it appears the catholic position ignores the Bible while placing more emphasis on catholic tradition to its error as noted in my post 177.

You will also notice the appeal to the written word in my post 139.

You mean that WE are missing a LOT of Bad Popes in our lineage?

The selected application of Some Scripture; along with Roman 'tradition'; exposes Catholicism's extra baggage.
