One may recall that Patrick Madrid has a web forum called Speak your Mind Apologetics Forum. He uses the URL “SurprisedByTruth” for his web site. I noted with little surprise that he had recently decided to stop my friend who uses the nick “Algo” from speaking his mind and surprising the Roman Catholics in that forum with the truth of Scripture and truths about the Early Church Fathers. However, I did have to smile a bit when I noticed that the entire forum has now been encased in a protective shell of registration, lest outsiders shine any more light on the deception routinely attempted there.
That’s right, they’ve turtled: gone into their shells so that when they speak their own mind no one will be able easily to correct them. One is truly reminded of the child who stuffs his fingers in his ears and shouts a bit louder so as to plausibly deny that he has heard what is being told him.
Is this what Romanist Apologetics (or at least Patrick Madrid’s variety thereof) has been reduced to?

Thankyou, Turretinfan, for your commentary of our Christian Faith!. In regards to that Roman Catholic forum, they are now more insulated from the universal church than before. It worries me how upholding the truth causes sinners like me to retrench, to become more fixed in ideas. May God be pleased that His People will wake up and see where they are! For myself, I want to choose the Word than philosophies of my own choosing. But I realize I fall short each day….
