... the notion that human beings can save themselves through the exercise of unaided human reason and will. I still believe this to be so (as do many, if not most, contemporary Roman Catholic theologians)...

I've been a Roman Catholic for 50 years, and I never heard of that being issued from the Roman Pontiff on down the line ... but I hear that from the protestants all the time ...

I hope Dr. Koons makes as good a Roman Catholic as Jaroslav Pelikan made an Orthodox Christian and that he contributes as much to the Roman Church as Dr. Pelikan did to Orthodoxy.

Dr. Koons and Beckwith, welcome across the Tiber. You have quite a big family. The church will be invaluable to you and vice-versa.

Welcome Home.
Prayers up.

Congratulations on posting another "crossing the Tiber" thread.

As your prize you win a week's worth of James White rants and a "Berean Beacon" special thread on how the Catholic Church is in bed with Islam, written by ex-Catholic priest, Richard Bennett.

Coming your way any day now.

...I accepted a form of ‘sola scriptura’, it took the form of insisting that all doctrines must have their source in the Scriptures as interpreted by the Church, or in the universal practices and teaching of the early church.

This is the only sort of “sola scriptura” principle that can hold up to logical scrutiny, since the Scriptures themselves provide no definition of the canon and no clear statement of any sola-scriptura principle (both of these can be found only in the Fathers and Councils). Extreme sola-scripturism is, given these facts, self-refuting.

See tagline.

Good news.

But I hope this works out for him. Many of the things that he says in this statement seem curious, and contrary to the historical facts to say the least, if not to Church teachings. Read it carefully and it’s more than a little disturbing.

I say that because, God knows, plenty of born Catholics are shaky in their beliefs these days, but usually when Protestants come into the Church as converts they know whereof they speak.
