Q&A to a Troll in a Catholic website (Part 3): "What divine authority has revealed the contents of the Bible?"

PART III *Months ago, I was visiting a favorite Catholic website of mine on Facebook and was reading a newly released article about our Blessed Virgin Mary. As I was reading various comments of Catholics regarding the article, I noticed one particular person who appears to be trolling under the comment box, unsolicitedly "refuting" different Catholic teachings to any one who would dare to read his comments and take the bait.

On abuse and sex scandalsin the Catholic Church

Holding on to His promise in Matthew 16:18 that "You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never overpower it."  © EWTN 2018-3-1 Get paid to share your links!
