“Do your own homework, there is this great invention called “google” now that means you don’t even have to go to the library!”
But that’s exactly the point: I have done my homework and all the various confessional type statements about sola scriptura (i.e. those that are the most commonly taught by denominations over time) all fail as workable tools. When Catholics at FR bring up sola scriptura - according to how it is actually stated, defined and used in the Protestant world we are often told that we don’t understand sola scriptura. It seems Protestants here use “sola scriptura” in such a way that it isn’t whatever the Catholic just said it was even when the Catholic is using a Protestant source for the definition.

I’ve never seen a Catholic around here use an actual valid Protestant source for their definitions. They either pull a definition out of their own nether regions, or they find a poor, misinformed ex-Protestant like the author, and get them to cite a mangled remembrance of the principle.
