Perhaps, the problem is that you have no understanding of Petrine authority and of the received oral tradition of the Church. There is nothing for example in the New Testament to say that Christ fell three times or that Veronica wiped the face of jesus. But these were received oral traditions. Unless one buries his head in the sand and refuses to accept that there were many things that were said and done both by Christ and his apostles that were not written.

From your point of view, all the theologians both Catholic, and those former eminent Protestant scholars, theologians, pastors, professors and preachers, who converted to Catholicism are all a set of fools. blindly accepting the sacred traditions and rituals of the Church.

The Catholic Church teaches “another gospel”. The apostles told they should be considered accursed.

Yep, as proven by scripture.

Are YOU reading CB's mind; or merely putting WORDS into his mouth?

One needn't be a FOOL to be deceived by false teachings.

Other wise, YOU have called ALL protestants FOOLS for believing the (as Rome has determined) the FALSE teachings of Protestantism.
