Coming out of Scholasticism many were at that time but it was Calvin, Luther and Zwingli that were the principal heretics spreading this philosophy. Erasmus was greatly influenced by the same spirit of division but was made impotent by the Church that he followed in his devotion to unity. God bless!<br /><br />In Christ<br />Fr. Joseph Fr.

I don't think most Catholic's who have studied Luther would agree with that. Erasmus was the biggest secular humanist of Luther's day and even the Catholics would admit that.Joshuanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212747024604809827.post-82525456016389570342010-07-01T09:37:03.015+08:002010-07-01T09:37:03.015+08:00There are no heretical teachings in the Catholic C...There are no heretical teachings in the Catholic Church.<br /><br />Transubstantiation was taught by our Lord as recorded in John Chapter 6.<br /><br />The perpetual virginity of the blessed mother of God is a historical fact without contradiction.<br /><br />Catholics do not pray to the dead.<br /><br />The saints are not dead but very much alive with our Lord in heaven. They intercede for us by praying for us. Praying for others does not usurp the mediation of our Lord but shows our love for one another.<br /><br />There are no idols in the Catholic Church and idolatry is strictly forbidden in the Catechism and all Catholic teaching.<br /><br />It would seem as if it is you that is lacking in biblical knowledge since you cannot recognize biblical teaching. It seems that you are a victim of false teachers and are incapable in discerning truth from heresy. God bless!<br /><br />Fr. JosephFr.
