Never that far under the surface

You know, it never ceases to amaze me. Okay, let me disclaim: I getthat Protestants and Evangelicans have their particular doctrines and traditions with which I disagree. There's the Five Sola adherents, and the KJV Onlyists, and all the rest. And that's fine...no, I'm not saying that I think they're all necessarily correct, but whatever; they've anchored themselves in a particular harbour, and will weather the waves that come.

But here's what is always so amusing to me. Say you have a disucssion about why the King James is the only valid English-language translation of Scripture. It always seems to be the case that, lingering just beneath the surface of the various bits of reasoning and justification that go in to such arguments, there exists a strain of anti-Catholicism.

This is just the latest example, but the amusement it brings is palpable. What begins as a discussion over why the KJV is the only acceptable Biblical translation (with naysayers winding up belittled and/or shouted down) has turned -- yet again -- into a full-on anti-Catholic rant.

I'm just surprised I haven't been mentioned in it yet. That would be a perfect trifecta for the CWU.
