                 So I finally made the plunge and defended Catholicism to my deeply religious ex catholic but deeply religious--great man--brother. I was surfing the net and came across some obvious heretical teaching in the deuterocanon (that's what the anti Catholic writer claimed. Something really strange like burning fish guts as some ritual or protection.  Any notion of what it was about?

                                    jack
 
Tobit 8. A the angel Raphael’s advice for a specific circumstance, and burns fish guts to exorcise a demon.

This seems a very weak criticism. Consider putting lamb’s blood on the door so the angel of death passes over a household Or Jesus using mud and spittle to heal a man’s eyes? Or certain washings proscribed in the Bible before a healing will happen? Or looking at a statue of a snake to be heaped from snakebites? Are these any less “odd”, that certain matter is used as a sign?

If you came across some “obvious heretical teaching” in the Bible, why don’t you post it?
 
Thanks bud. Odd, I got rattled because I think I
confronted my brother. Part of it was purgatory and I pointed out
Maccabees, And how Luther didn’t have the right to dismiss that. Obviously
matter matters and transmits Grace if God chooses…thanks again.

Raphael advising on burning fish guts to dispel a demon Odd but not really
hretical.

Right, that’s exactly the hole in the argument that the deuterocanon books should be excluded because of “x” or “y” teaching. What gives you the right to say, “This book shouldn’t be in the Bible because I disagree with it?” Why couldn’t that same standard be applied to other books, like Luther did by placing James as an appendix?

Another easy rejoinder to the Tobit objection in particular is that the Bible is full of one-time commands or instructions that apply to a single person in a specific circumstance.
 
Hmm. Now you got me. Any instances of those unusual-one
time commands???

Like when God tells Abraham to cut a bunch of animals in half so he could pass through to signify a covenant?
