Until the time the canon was defined and constituted, the Gospels were increased by additions and corrections. Therefore there remained in them only a faint and uncertain trace of the doctrine of Christ.
Again, this is a favorite argument employed by Protestants and New Agers to refute Catholic truth and that the Gospels are exactly as the Evangelists wrote them. You see, by watering down the Scriptures, sowing doubt in minds, and negating the Catholic Church's authority in safeguarding divine revelation, they are able to undermine the Church, chipping away at the foundations of the Rock of Peter. It makes it all the more difficult when those within join the forces outside in assaulting Holy Writ with their own interpretations, daring to alter the essence and meaning of these divinely revealed Words with the audacity to say that there were "additions and corrections" with nary a shed of proof for such evidence is all a fabrication. Lies usually are built on straw and will either evaporate in time or at the slightest spark, combust into ashes and be scattered to the winds. Such is the eventual fate (it can't happen soon enought) of the heresies of Modernism fomented by the counterfeit church of conciliarism, fostered by the very one who coined the world Consilio, Joseph Ratzinger, and who had the audacity to sign off on a 2001 document by the PBC stating that "the Jews' wait for the Messiah was not in vain." In other words, all that the Son of God did and sacrificed means nothing to those who rejected Him, they'll still get their reward by continuing to reject Him. Anathema sit indeed, as clearly as can be by the very snake who is presently trying to entice traditionalists to "believe a lie" (cf. 2 Thessalonians 2: 10).
