I'm thankful that the blood of Jesus cleanses me when I come to His fountain open for sin and uncleanness- every time!!! May we be as grateful for our Savior and His love as these poor mislead people are of this mere man whose blood has not, and cannot, save anyone.
Suppose a faithful Romanist had the chance to see one of the following, and only one:
1) A vial of JP's blood
2) A meeting with the current Pope
Based on Romanist theology, which one has more value? The answer, as far as I understand Romanism is the former. My gut tells me though most Romanists would choose the later.

"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

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.

Which one is rarer?
And which will get you more time off Purgatory?
It's not as grotesque as the cult of the holy foreskin. So they got that goin' for them. Which is nice.
