Sad, but typically Roman Catholic.
And that's nothing like cherry picking some verse or parts of verses to support a works based, pope based religion which supports eating Jesus, and putting the opinions of men above Scripture, to be saved.
Don't forget that this "depth and breadth of early church history" stands as the basis for CCC 841 which teaches Roman Catholics worship the same "merciful God" as Muslims... which means Catholics don't even worship the one, true living God! "Church history" is so deep and broad that it allows this teaching. But when you don't put faith in God's word as the final authority, it's what you end up with.
Great post and spot-on!
