Marcione e il Vangelo (di Luca). Un confronto con Matthias Klinghardt
Pierangelo Gramaglia

The author is a Catholic priest.

I think that it is sufficient, to have an idea of the his apologetical effort in the his book, the fact that:

1) he thinks that Mark was written before the 70 CE (sic).

2) he thinks that :
Luke wrote his Gospel in a first form.
Marcion used it and he didn't corrupt it.
Always Luke (!) expanded that same Gospel to his full caprice.

3) He thinks that the source Q exists.

4) He thinks that ''Luke'' is the real name of the author of the Gospel of Luke.


It is clear that he is an apologist (basically for the points 1 and 2 and 4), without even read his entire book of confutation of the book of Klinghardt on Marcion.

Even so, it is a signal that something is changing. Even a fool apologist like him has to concede that the Marcion's Gospel was edited after Marcion by a proto-Catholic.

Note also that for this priest, a Catholic called Luke would have made with the his Gospel what Marcion would have made according to prof Vinzent:

1) to write a Gospel
2) to see it interpolated by other people
3) to expand it in a new published form

Only with the difference that for Vinzent these ''other people'' were not so kind and courteous with the Gospel usurped by them in the same way as Marcion was kind and courteous with the Gospel written by the Evangelist Luke (according to the priest).
