"To be deep into scripture is to cease to be Catholic."

That is a clever turn of phrase, but it would only be true if I were to concede that Scripture and history are two separate things. For Catholics that simply is not true. Scripture is a literal history of our Church.

Peace be with you.

Interesting. The Catholic Church has equated the holy word of God for the literal history of the Church-at least a history that favors the current thought or teaching of the day. While I would disagree the word of God to be the history of the church, I certainly can’t deny that Catholics don’t view it in this term.
