Have you also read Cardinal Henry Newsman’s writing who as a lead Anglican scholar converted to the Church and founded the renowned Oxford Movement? Or, why not simply review the writings of the foremost American Lutheran theologian Richard Neuhaus, who after many years of teaching in established universities converted to Catholicism. These individuals after a lifetime of scholarship and theological training and instruction had the humility to acknowledge they were hopeless wrong. Even better, consult the great English Essayist, Hillaire Belloc, in his book, “The Great Heresies” for a superb rendition on why all of Protestantism is nothing more than a “cluster of heresies” peddled by mediocre men. I wish this book were made mandatory reading in all high schools.

Have you ever read the bible???

1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

“Throw away the Catechism” and we get the Babel of Protestantism.

This is the codification of the teachings of Christ handed to Peter, his Apostles and their successors- a lasting truth till the end of time.

Not the stupid nonsense of Jim Jones, David Koresh, Rev. Schullers, Re. Sharptons, Billy Grahams and the Joel Osteens, and every Tom. Dick, and Harry corner-street pastor who think they can crack open the Bible (which by the way did not fall from the skies but were books compiled by the early Church Fathers) and “authoritatively” deliver the one tee message of the Christ.

This is why intellectuals of every stripe from every other non-Catholic faith have finally realized the error of their thinking and converted to Catholicism.

What remains are low-informed “Christian” voters. who are kool-aid feed with incoherent and random scriptural passages to advance the rot taught by Luther, Calvin, and Wesley. Oh, and even Henry VIII!. These are all wild mushrooms growing around the large mustard tree, mushrooms upon which the lowly insects feed on while the soaring eagles settle on the large branches of the mustard tree.
