Current State of the Latin Program
I have been working on this program to aid in the memorizing of Latin prayers and have been enjoying working on it. Lately I have been a little occupied so I have not been working on it quite as much but intend to eventually have all of the common prayers from the Liturgy of the Hours (benedictus, nunc dimittis and magnificat for example). Perhaps I shall do all of the psalms as well.

Another Argument Against Sola Scriptura
This morning I noticed something I hadn't caught before in the exchange between Satan and Christ during his temptation in the desert. For the most part it is a sparing between Satan and Christ about various things where both use quotations from the Scripture to argue their points. However, one part is very interesting apologetically.
Luke 4:2-13
2 For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time; 6 And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them. 7 If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence. 10 For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee. 11 And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. 12 And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13 And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.
This can be tied to Deuteronomy 6:18 and does seem to be a quote from there but Our Lord did not say IT IS WRITTEN he said IT IS SAID. The most interesting thing to me is that when he made mention of this one the discussion ended.
