If I'm looking for the truths of the Catholic faith, my first choice is to go to faithful Catholics.

But I'd be the first to note that there are some Protestants who are more Catholic than the Pope.

Nevertheless, your comment is not relevant to my post. The context is that in his thoughts on the BVM, Tertullian was relying on his own notions, not on receiving and handing on the actual experience and practice of the Church, based on the Apostles. In this sense, Tertullian and Pope Francis might have a lot in common.

I guess being damned with faint praise is better than not being damned at all.

Where do you go if looking for problems with the Catholic faith?
