Protestant bashing is getting pretty old.

Citing Scripture is now considered "protestant bashing"?

"Citing Scripture is now considered "protestant bashing"?"

From the article's first paragraph:

"Christians, outside of the Catholic Church, have, at best, an incomplete understanding of the power of these words"

It might not fall into the category of bashing, but it is a very condescending tone right off the bat. To paraphrase the PINO, "the author needs to get off his high horse."

No. THIS, from the article itself, is Protestant bashing......

So why did God give us this glorious Church that possesses the authority of Jesus Christ?

So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine… (Eph. 4:14)

The history of Protestantism is one of “children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine.”

When it goers against Mea Scriptura it is. I can actually picture them covering their ears chanting "I can't hear you" over and over.

They are a sad little group deserving out prays and pity.

Please, stop with the playing stupid. It starts in the second paragraph:
"With the advent of Protestantism and the confusion that followed, and that continues to this day, Christians, outside of the Catholic Church, have, at best, an incomplete understanding of the power of these words."
