CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Some more questions..

Why end with the Gospel of Mark? The denial of Apostolic Authority renders into question the entire Canon. After all, how can fallible people choose an infallible canon? Why is the canon closed anyway? Who had any right to do that?

We had a discussion on the canon quite recently. It is also very easy to research the Catholic positon. See www.NewAdvent.com and look under canon.
Suffice it to say, The Council of Trent had the authority. It used specific criteria to determine what was canonical and what was not.
The Council had to defend the integrity of the New Testament as well as the Old against the attacks of the pseudo-Reformers, Luther, basing his action on dogmatic reasons and the judgment of antiquity, had discarded Hebrews, James, Jude, and Apocalypse as altogether uncanonical. Zwingli could not see in Apocalypse a Biblical book.
The Church and her history were under attack and Trent took action to protect the deposit of Faith.
