Only 50 priests out of how many worldwide? These were folks who wanted the “Protestant” view of Scripture where any person is free to crack open the Bible (a set of books deemed authentic by the Catholic Church) and provide “their” own interpretation and of course they have a large choice of 35,000 Protestant sects and sub-sects or why not simply start up your “own” congregations in the traditions of Rev. Schuller; Rev. Jeremiah Wright; or Joel Osteen.

Wow, that phrase all by itself is very interesting. This is something that Satan, via the RCC, has wanted to accomplish. It sure seems that good progress has been made. Discuss the bible with an RC and count how many seconds it takes for said RC to begin attacking not only your "interpretation" of the bible but serious belief in the bible and the bible itself.

*Consults list. 134: Take a shot when someone compares Protestants in general to well-known kooks. Takes a shot.*

Well, when you take out those and the ones that fiddle with little altar boys, there are only about 17 left...

And yet, “famed” Catholic apologist Scott Hahn, who was formerly a Protestant, agrees with feminist nuns and puts forward “feminine Holy Spirit” theology, amongst other stupid stuff.

Maybe you Papists shouldn’t bother cracking open the Bible “whenever you want” instead?
