A suggestion for a litany

We could use this for our new annual celebration: “Post-Reformation Day” or in slang, “Day of the Doctors.”

O, Lord God of our Fathers, who has set the boundaries through their works, and has given us a pleasant heritage right now: defend and deliver us, we pray, from those who believe and teach your Word. Give us relief, we beseech thee, from all teachers of Holy Scripture, from everyone who would insist that the language of your own Holy Spirit be used by your Bride for her profit, or who would spread confident delusions that your sixty-six books are sufficient for our day, for our piety, and for our faith. By your Spirit, instill in your faithful flock, a firm assurance that all such teachers, no matter what they say, are no better than JWs and other infidels who give lip service to Scripture. Let them learn from words like Trinity that every single word they have been taught by tradition is just is essential to believing the true Faith. And most of all, O Divine Protecter, vouchafe thou to us, a true confidence, that all doctrinal development clamaxed in the Protestant Scholastics, and nothing is left to us, but to receive what you have provided through your faithful teachers, and spread it to the poor, ignorant, unenlightened, Evangelicals, and always, to repeat it endlessly, with great pretention. This we ask in the name of your dearly beloved Son, for the preservaton of his Kingdom, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
