Baloney! LOL. Thanks. I needed a laugh.
Reading the source of that quote just makes me sad. Here's another quote from Newman.
It is maintained that doctrines which are associated with the later ages of the Church were really in the Church from the first, but not publicly taught, and that for various reasons:
Secret teachings? He's making an appeal to secret teachings? Really?
In the Bible, the apostles said they always preached in public. The Bible never makes allusion to secret teachings. Secret teachings are to be avoided, not embraced. There are no secret teachings and there have never been!
