Peter Marshall, The Reformation,(A Very Short Introduction), p.48Which came first, the Church or the Bible? Catholics pointed out that Jesus had founded a community, not written a book. Protestants countered that Christ himself was "The Word" whose presence was experienced through the reading, preaching and hearing of scripture.
Compared to the bold and honest thinking of these people, the modern ecumenism feels so shallow and fearful... Contention? Disagreement? Ah God forbid! We are all brothers, let's not discuss la chose qui fâche!
