There is no winning that argument so I let it slide. I would push his 
buttons by taking the Catholic side in arguments about other points. He 
was entirely dependent of his interpretation of the bible. I would point 
out the Catholics determined the canon. There have been a few Protestant 
tweaks. Luther left out Thomas on his first go-around since the parts 
about faith without works being empty didn't fit with sola fides. 
Maccabees winds up in 'apocrypha' since it mentions prayers for the dead 
as an intercession. Then there is the decalogue parsing to come down heavy 
on those statues. 

I doubt many Catholics believe in the Young Earth but that's one of the 
areas that is dealers choice as far as the catechism goes, along with 
evolution. 

He died last year and I sort of miss the friendly discussions. As a part 
of hearing what you want to hear a group from his church sand Cohen's 
'Hallelujah' at the service. There certainly is biblical imagery but there 
is also the verse

"Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah"

Then there are the politicians who play Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' at 
there rallies.  Or Trump's fondness for 'YMCA'.  That song and the Village 
People were as queer as it gets but I don't think he gets the context.
