  • Augustine vs. Modern Catholicism

    Augustine, as demonstrated in the video below had a view of the Real presence that was more similar to the Reformed (or Orthodox) view, than to the Lutheran or Roman Catholic view. Skip to 5 minutes, 30 seconds, for the relevant material. The first five and half minutes are interesting, but mostly relevant to the…

  • Doctrinal Innovation on the Horizon

    As reported here (link – link to the source), and previously predicted by Dr. James White, five cardinals have begun the process necsesary to persuade Benedict XVI to dogmatize certain Marian dogmas that are (in some cases) clearly contrary to Scripture and (in those and in other cases) without exegetical Scriptural warrant. The blasphemous proposed…

  • Judged According to Works?

    Dave Armstrong has a new post (at least it seems to be new, perhaps it is just an old post he has redated) of Scriptural pretexting (I’d say prooftexting, but Dave is not an advocate of Sola Scriptura) for the idea that “Final Judgment” will be on the basis of works and not faith. In…

  • Nun Pro Tunc

    Apparently the number of nuns (and monks) in the Roman Catholic Church has been on a steady and strong decline since Vatican II, although the overall membership of the RCC has continued to steadily increase. During the reign of John Paul II, the ranks of the nuns declined by about 25%, and a new report…

  • Did Trent Embrace Sola Gratia?

    In the session on Justification, Trent writes:CANON IV.-If any one saith, that man’s free will moved and excited by God, by assenting to God exciting and calling, nowise co-operates towards disposing and preparing itself for obtaining the grace of Justification; that it cannot refuse its consent, if it would, but that, as something inanimate, it…

  • A Little Humor

    I’m sure the critics will respond, “very little.” Nevertheless! Here’s a little web site offering aromatic fares. I’m not sure if they have nihil obstat or imprimatur, but they smell of Popery! To God be the Glory!

  • Swan’s Response to Michuta on the Canon

    James Swan has provided a two part response to a portion of Gary Michuta’s recent book on the canon. If the subject, and particularly it’s relation to Luther, interests you, you should check out his detailed comments: (part 1)(part 2) -Turretinfan To God be the Glory!

  • Holy Water Debate Conclusion

    I’ve posted my conclusion to the Holy Water Debate, over at the debate blog (link). Enjoy! Remember, up to five audience questions will be accepted. I’ve already received a couple, and if we get more than five, I’ll pick two and PC will pick three. To the Glory of God! -Turretinfan To God be the…

  • Amstrong Predicts

    “And be sure to watch how this very post is responded to. It’ll be very informative, for sure. There will be mockery and more insults. It’s almost like a law of the universe with these guys. We can have some fun with it in a certain “warped humor” sense, I suppose: one last bombardment from…

  • Heresy in the Guise of Charity

    James Jordon, in a recent post at “Biblical Horizons,” has thoughts on this thesis: “it has been my observation that in every group there are those with a healthy catholic attitude toward other Christians and also those with a proud and condescending attitude toward others who call themselves Christians.” James really ought to have capitalized…
