John Henry Newman’s famous line — “To be deep in history is to cease being Protestant” — is often used in Catholic apologetics. But what if the very theory that led Newman to Rome actually proves the opposite?

In this video, Rev. Brandon Warr exposes the flaws in Newman’s Development of Doctrine hypothesis and shows why it cements Roman Catholicism as an evolving communion, willing to abandon biblical truth whenever the Magisterium declares it a “development.” With Cardinal Manning’s blunt claim that Rome “must overcome history with dogma” as our backdrop, we’ll examine how this theory undermines Rome’s claim to be the unchanging Church founded in 30 AD.

Topics Covered:

What is Newman’s “Development of Doctrine” theory?

Why Catholic apologetics rely on it to defend the Papacy, Marian dogmas, and more

How this theory contradicts Scripture’s teaching that the faith was “once for all delivered” (Jude 3)

The Lutheran Confessions and Church Fathers against doctrinal “development”

Why this exposes Rome as historically inconsistent

If you’ve ever heard the claim that “history proves Rome right,” this video will show you why history actually proves Rome wrong.
