		"Justification and the Consensus Fidelium" Alvin Kimel writes at Pontifications, yesterday: .... May I suggest that the “grand question” before us is one of truth. If a given belief is false, then it doesn’t matter how personally liberating I may have found it. I am still deceived.... I believe that the Reformation construals of imputational righteousness are wrong. I believe this precisely because of the consensus fidelium. The doctrine of imputational righteousness is not the faith of the Apostles. It is not the faith of the saints and martyrs. It is not the faith of the great doctors of the Church. It is not the faith that has nurtured and sustained millions of sinners around the globe for the past two thousand years. It is, as I have repeatedly stated, a 16th century novelty....
