  • Mortal Sin of Not Observing Obligatory Holy Days Debate

    It hasn’t been (I’m not sure whether it is over yet) a formal debate, but there are a series of posts back and forth that started with my rejection of the idea that it is mortal sin not to treat Christmas as a holy day, my affirmation of Christian liberty with respect to regarding days…

  • Bellisario – Authority Discussion

    Bellisario has a new post entitled, “Turetin [sic] Fan’s Crippled [sic] Minded Theology on the Apostles Part I” It’s not hard to identify his thesis: My theology is “crippled” in some way. Let’s see if he backs it up, or if this is just another case of assertion mania. Beneath an image of a black…

  • Bellisario Burying Himself in the Carcases of More Straw Men

    More response from Bellisario has come in. I’ll try to address it as thoroughly as possible, in the hopes that he’ll carefully read it and stop attacking straw men. Surely, eventually such wanton destruction of scarecrows will cause some sort of rhetorical carbon footprint problem, and we certainly don’t want that: I had written: a)…

  • Bellisario Swings Again

    Bellisario is at it again. Let’s go through his latest post (link to the post): MB: “Recently the un-identifiable one released an all out attack at the Catholic Church for mandating Christmas as an obligatory Holy day.” TF: A couple of blog posts equals an “all out attack”? Does that seem melodramatic to anyone? His…

  • Bellisario vs. His Own Imagination on Christmas

    Bellisario has a new post, in which he ferociously battles positions that have not been presented (link). The straw flies in every direction, but I thought I’d do a quick response (well, it started as a quick response … it ended up a bit long) to his post: MB: “I wanted to answer the un-identifiable…

  • Bellisario and Rome vs. Paul the Apostle on Christian Liberty

    In a previous post (link), I quoted the words of Holy Scripture penned by Paul the Apostle: Romans 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God…

  • Leo X on Luther

    Do people still believe what Leo X said about Luther. Mr. Bellisario (editor of the “Catholic Champion” blog) has republished part of an English translation of one of Leo X’s writings against Luther. (link). What’s interesting is that the the decree Mr. Bellisario cuts and pastes from here (link) makes reference to an earlier bull,…

  • Acorn Located!

    You know that saying that even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut? After two documented failures (one) (two), Mr. Matthew Bellisario has finally done it! He has located a “Protestant” service with some inappropriate material (in this case a mime show – link to Bellisario’s post) Mr. Bellisario finds this sort of thing absurd,…

  • Sola Scriptura Debate Complete

    I’m pleased to announce that the very prolonged debate with Matthew Bellisario on Sola Scriptura is now complete (link to debate). -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

  • More Batting About On the Blind Quest to Besmirch "Protestantism"

    Bellisario, not the biggest fan of rap music (as discussed previously), has decided to try to remedy his previous deficient selection of a rap music video. He now claims, When I posted my last blog article on bad Sacred Music I had several Protestants try and [sic] tell me that it was never used in…
