The following below from the current Code of Canon Law at the Vatican Library itself shows you exactly why ecumenical talks with the Roman Catholic Church are always futile; and it also again proves Martin Luther was absolutely right when he said: The negotiation about doctrinal agreement displeases me altogether, for this is utterly impossible unless the pope has his papacy […]

Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of […]

DOWN WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA!   “When you come to appear before Me, who has asked this of you, this trampling of My courts? Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to Me.

Apprising Ministries has been researching the rejection of Sola Scriptura, in favor of highly subjective and existential Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, within the visible church for several years now. Developing as it has been into a veritable cult of contemplative spirituality it would certainly appear that the influence of Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster  continues spreading within mainstream evangelicalism, and even within Calvinist circles.
