@ProtPhilosopher So, your standard is a list compiled by a single bishop of the 2nd century that agrees with your position on the deuterocanonical books. The actual canon defined in the 4th century was accepted by the whole church until the Protestant movement 1,100 years later.
@rickbrennanjr Protestant ignorance can be overcome. Ask Dr. David Anders, Tim Staples, Dr. Scott Hahn and countless other prominent intellectual converts to Catholicism. If you knew what the Mass is, you would recognize it in your own description of the 1st century church.
@rickbrennanjr This comes from the insistence on consistent misrepresentation of Catholic doctrine by online Protestant commentators. We accept that you are not stupid, so it's easy to conclude that your misrepresentations are willful.
@realmikolson Perhaps he is, but probably not. The holiest man is likely an anonymous monk living out his days in silent prayer on a mountain somewhere in Eastern Europe.
@LizzieMarbach Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. This verse is not exclusive. In fact, it is written to suggest that it is a critical component of teaching to complete the lessons, but it is not exclusively the only source of the lessons.
@colinsmo He's citing scripture. "When you stretch out your hands I turn my eyes away. You may multiply your prayers, I shall not be listening. Your hands are covered in blood." Isaiah 1:15
@SteveDeaceShow "When you stretch out your hands I turn my eyes away. You may multiply your prayers, I shall not be listening. Your hands are covered in blood." Isaiah 1:15; "Blessed are the peacemakers." (Jesus) Matthew 5:9 Using scripture to justify war? No.
@LauraLoomer Another anti-Catholic who knows her own faith. You know what the Catholic church claims and, if true, what it implies about your faith. The messiah has already come. Catholicism is the one, true faith.
