Response to Ben Douglass #3

   James Swan sent me about ten clips of Shea defending his a-historical Marianism that I hope to get to on the DL soon. Today Shea posted a blog article that makes brief reference to my comments on his attack on the perspecuity and sufficiency of Scripture (found here).

   If you want an incredible example of self-deception and suppression of truth, here’s one from this morning. You will recall that I noted the less-than-honest and accurate words of one California attorney, Peter Sean Bradley. First, I replied to his comments on the Beckwith situation here.

A review of Catholic Apologist Gary Michuta’s examination of Luther and the Apocrypha        For many Roman Catholics, no discussion on the canon of Scripture is complete without at least some reference to Martin Luther.
