Well, he makes a few good points, for example that if a Christian fullfils the externals of the moral law without love, he is damned. But his comment about the salvation of Buddhists and atheists is worthless.
Umm, this is so pathetic that I hardly even know where to begin. It is classic Roman Catholicism to the core. Know absolutely nothing about the Scriptures but put just enough Christian-ese lingo around your poison that people will swallow it with little to no convulsions.
They do the same with many other forms of destruction btw, except that the result isn't damnation just a dead rat.
I love it. Its true, because everything comes from what God is. Is this Christian-ese Baked Dirt, or is this Gospel? Look at Christ, not your ideology.

“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther
"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til
"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin
"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin
This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.

JohnMark,
I'll have to ask You what I've also asked Carrie:
What does Luke 4:24-27 and the Parable of the Good Samaritan, for instance, mean to You?
Not sure what it's worth...

Ben,
This man is a priest. On what basis can I know that you are right in calling what he's saying "worthless"?
Is it indeed possible for me to understand it and interpret it correctly even though I am a private, fallible individual?
The RC unity really brings a tear to my eye. :)
