As does yours. Those “early church fathers” you mention are the Popes and Bishops of the Catholic Church, Christ’s own. Your Traditions of Men do not permit you to acknowledge that.

You cannot even acknowledge the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding them to select the truly inspired Word of God for inclusion in the Canon, for that might mean you had to acknowledge that the Holy Spirit guides the Catholic Church.

Instead, you are stuck with the convoluted arguments of a despotic French lawyer, and his Traditions, the very arguments so artfully dismembered by the author of this piece.

No, I don't rely upon a "despotic" French lawyer.

As far as the "very arguments so artfully dismembered by the author", I would agree that the author is arguing against scripture-the very scripture he purports to be "inspired".
