The Gift of Moral Freedom

"Goodness is worthless unless freely chosen in the face of possible evil."

Vernon Staley, "The Catholic Religion: A Manual of Instruction for Members of the Anglican Church," p.152

Sola Scriptura?

"We said above, that it has always been the custom of Catholics, and still is, to prove the true faith in these two ways; first by the authority of the Divine Canon, and next by the tradition of the Catholic Church. Not that the Canon alone does not of itself suffice for every question, but seeing that the more part, interpreting the divine words according to their own persuasion, take up various erroneous opinions, it is therefore necessary that the interpretation of divine Scripture should be ruled according to the one standard of the Church's belief, especially in those articles on which the foundations of all Catholic doctrine rest." 

St. Vincent of Lerins, "Commonitorium" 

Sola Scriptura?

"No matter how one looks at the history, it is difficult to maintain that the church had a closed New Testament canon for the first four hundred years of its existence. This means that an appeal to the "Bible" as the early church's sole rule for faith and life is anachronistic."
