While those are good to read, we'd be a lot better off if people simply read the Word.

It is the only infallible collection of writings we have available.

The rest are commentaries.

Did you notice that Sacred Scripture is #1 on the list?

While some of the works on this list are certainly commentaries on Scripture (many of the Fathers knew Scripture intimately--some had it memorized), several others are histories of the ancient Church--basically, continuations of Acts of the Apostles. They are certainly worth reading.

LOL.

The Bible is #1. It helps to read before posting. Try it. Bigot.

Specifically,

Paul’s letter to the Romans explains the gospel for the church at ROME. Faith in the sacrificial death of Christ as payment for our sin is SUFFICIENT.

Galatians teaches us not to add any human work to the FINISHED work of Christ.

Hebrews teaches there is only now the Melchizedek priesthood of Christ. He is our high priest. ...There is no valid RCC priesthood.

Hebrews teaches the sacrificial death of Christ was once for all.

......

The RCC only reads Scripture as a devotional exercise or for its liturgical function.

There is no didactic, corrective, exhortative, reproving aspect of Scripture for Rome, because she thinks she sits above the Word.

The RCC practices “ Sola Eccelesia” which is a Latin term best translated as “churcholatry”.

For now,

...born and raised RCC, thirteen years Catholic education, two years CCD, and raised in a house with subscriptions to the National Catholic Register, the Wanderer, the Angelus magazine and Fidelity magazine. I was expected to be current on my readings in those publications while growing up.

....

By the way, after about four weeks in a Bible study at work, I got saved by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ when I was reading through Ephesians chapter 2.

God made me realize that He was right and that I was wrong.

All the Bible books I list at the beginning of this post are the lessons I learned from those books.

The RCC doesn’t even understand and has never effectively implemented the Romans letter that Paul wrote to them.
