A quote for the ages.
“I also realized that Protestantism was a confused mass of inconsistencies and tortured logic. Not only was Protestant doctrine untrue, it bred contention”.
May be Protestants need to get their own Bible and not use the canonical texts as established by our early theologians (The Church Fathers) who after more than 200 years after the death of Christ sorted out hundreds of written fragments, cross-checked them against the sacred and received oral tradition, and in the Synod of Rome in AD 382 formally declared these texts as the authentic Word of God.
The Books in the Bible did not fall from the skies and self-assemble themselves. Thus if Petrine authority was the infallible source for this selection and arrangement of books it did not disappear ELEVEN centuries later with the curse of the Reformation in the fifteenth century.
Renowned English essayist Hillaire Belloc in his book, “The Great Heresies,” put it best when he wrote that unlike other heresies, Protestantism “spawned a whole cluster of heresies.”
There are so many shoals of shallow fish to bait, that every Protestant denomination, some 30,000 of them will always have some adherents of one sort or another, to say nothing of the Joel Osteens, Billy Grahams, David Koresh’s, Jim Jones’s, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wrights. They all have one thing in common in amassing fortunes for themselves and their families by preaching what is in essence vapid rot.
Here’s a mind boggling list of serious intellectuals who have studied, explored. and finally concerted to Catholicism.
