I became convinced that the Early Church is more Catholic than Protestant and that the Catholic view of justification, correctly understood, is biblically and historically defensible. Even though I also believe that the Reformed view is biblically and historically defensible, I think the Catholic view has more explanatory power to account for both all the biblical texts on justification as well as the church\u2019s historical understanding of salvation prior to the Reformation all the way back to the ancient church of the first few centuries. Moreover, much of what I have taken for granted as a Protestant\u2014e.g., the catholic creeds, the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation, the Christian understanding of man, and the canon of Scripture\u2014is the result of a Church that made judgments about these matters and on which non-Catholics, including Evangelicals, have declared and grounded their Christian orthodoxy in a world hostile to it.  Given these considerations, I thought it wise for me to err on the side of the Church with historical and theological continuity with the first generations of Christians that followed Christ\u2019s Apostles.<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Francis Beckwith gikk 28. april til skrifte i St. Joseph\u2019s Catholic Church i Waco, Texas, og dagen etterp\u00e5 ble han offentlig gjenopptatt i Den katolske kirke i s\u00f8ndagens h\u00f8ymesse.
