The St. Jerome Biblical Commentary has an excellent explanation of "Q". It is not included in the Canon of the Bible and is not a tenet of our faith. It is a possible explanation as to the contents of the Synoptic Gospels. We are bound to believe the message the Gospels impart, but we can take or leave the validity of "Q". Sometime people from academia can get lost in the weeds, as this article and comments prove. Our Church is the final arbiter on what we must do to be saved, and I haven't heard them telling us we must adhere to any version of "Q". This entire topic is pretty esoteric and for my two cents, I'll stick with the explanation in the St. Jerome Commentary. - Ray
