Most of Catholicism is biblical, and some of Protestantism isn’t. “Sola scripture” is not biblical, nor is salvation by faith alone.

You are afflicted with the same malady as the author of this piece...

Very easily said, FRiend. Not so easily proven. I've yet to see you prove your case.

He believed what his Catholic Church told him was the truth as well as you do, until he started searching the scriptures to find the real truth...

False generalization. If "searching the Scriptures and became non-Catholic" (e.g. the author of this article) is a true general principle, and if "searching the Scriptures and became Catholic" is also a true principle (e.g. John Henry Newman, Dr. Scott Hahn, Steven Ray, and innumerable others), then we have a logical problem, yes? I'd gently suggest that it's possible to "search the Scriptures" and be led astray (cf. 2 Peter 3:16-17)... and I assert that the author of the article did precisely that.

If you read the biographies of these people you will see they did not become Catholic by reading scriptures...They became Catholic by rejecting scripture, changing scripture and for the most part, studying human philosophy where they were taught that what they reasoned was more valuable and accurate that the scriptures...

THAT, along with the Philosophical Catholic religion based on philosophy and intellectualism (man's failed reasoning) is what drew them to the Catholic religion...They educated themselves right out of believing God...

It's interesting to note that all of these bible rejecting thinkers have moved on to money making positions in your religion...
