Orthodoxbridge: Why is Jay Dyer's High View of Scripture Labeled Protestant?
The above is a critique of an Eastern Orthodox blogger, by another Eastern Orthodox Christian.
The article is interesting, to be sure, and got me thinking on similar issues within Catholicism, and in light of how Protestant Christians view and use Scripture.
Prior to priests and later lay people reading and trying to interpret Scripture for themselves without the Church, most Christians would have understood and lived the Christian life through the Mass, sacred artwork, the Church's teachings, Holy Days, prayers, devotions, hearing Scripture read and hearing homilies, learning about the lives of the Saints, and living out everyday life.
The Reformation changed this, and nothing has been the same since.
What are your thoughts on the article? Does any of it ring true for the Catholic Church, in your view, or not so much?
