McCain Gets $181,000 a Year for Copying the Roman Catholics?

His "complete article on Athanasius."

I need a Thrivent grant to do more research, but this McCain post looks 99% from the Catholic Encyclopedia, another display of laziness and dishonesty. The citation is at the end of the post, the initial paragraphs giving no clue about its true origin. Plagiarism is considered the worst academic sin, a firing offense when caught.

The Ft. Wayne crowd complains about Lutherans not knowing enough about the early church fathers (the first four centuries or so). That is a fair complaint. The solution is not to copy and paste propaganda from a Roman Catholic site, one that is sure to draw the computer savvy into more reading from the same infernal source.

Aardvark Alley also posted about Athanasius. I do not see him plagiarizing.
