    Leave it to the NCR to publish a 16-year old Protestant.

    Well I don’t think he is a protestant but the NCR seems to think that a grasp of Latin makes one a theological expert as well, mind you that is probably because none of them have a grasp of Latin. Mind you the article is of higher quality than those usually published in that paper.

    I was being a bit facetious, it was just things like ‘”experts” in Rome’ and ‘It sets certain people above others in terms of their knowledge of a dead language and of dogma.’ If he has a problem with the teaching authority of the bishops, dogma, and dislikes Latin, he might be more comfortable in a Protestant church. Just saying.
