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…

Response to Nick on Christmas Observance

Bellisario and Rome vs. Paul the Apostle on Christian Liberty

To the Lord, I will not be Celebrating Christ’s Birth
As an exercise of my Christian liberty, I will not be celebrating Christ’s birthday on December 25, 2008. I will not be attending a “mass” or any substitute thereof. I do not plan to set aside any business concerns that would interfere with such religious exercises. Instead, by engaging in worldly employments and recreations, I…

Response to Mike Burgess on Mary and the Rosary
Mr. Mike Burgess has provided some thoughtful responses to my previous post on following Mary to Jesus (link). I’ll respond to his comments line-by-line, leaving off only the last two sentences in which he states his opinion regarding the wisdom of my posting my previous post. I apologize that the reader will note occasional changes…

Does Mary’s Non-Rosary Usage Miss the Issues?
In a previous post (link), I had mentioned the fact that Mary never prayed the Rosary. It is a point that I made to help folks recognize that the Rosary is a non-apostolic innovation. I got a most peculiar comment on this post from Mr. Greco. The salient part of his comment was: Turretinfan stated:…
