Can you recommend some reading material on him?<BR/><BR/>One of things I found to be interesting about this post was how sneaky non-Catholic people could be when given converts/potential converts information on Catholicism in the hopes that they'll change their mind.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11321550399533528253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010189628220740145.post-36229594724288010392008-08-17T14:58:00.000-07:002008-08-17T14:58:00.000-07:00One of the dangerous things about the "Bible alone...One of the dangerous things about the "Bible alone" philosophy is that is wrongly implies that the Bible was the only Christian literature written at the time.<BR/><BR/>There were an enormous number of historians and Early Church fathers who wrote extensively about the Christianity practiced in the First Century. And what do those writings teach us?<BR/><BR/>That NO ONE at the time believed in the "Bible Alone" philosophy.<BR/><BR/>Not Christ.<BR/><BR/>Not St. Paul.<BR/><BR/>Not the Early Church.<BR/><BR/>But those who believe in the "Bible Alone" philosophy often don't study the history enough to know that. If they did, they might be like John Henry Newman, a famous Anglican bishop, who attempted to DISPROVE Catholicism by appealing to Early Church history. The result: he converted to Catholicism, saying, after his in-depth study of Church History:<BR/><BR/>"To be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant."Batjacboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02500802356822661459noreply@blogger.com
