  • Augustine: A New Translation – Index Page

    This is an index page for the electronic versions of “The works of Aurelius Augustine: a new translation,” Edited by Marcus Dods. It was completed around 1876, so take the description “new” as a relative term. This obviously is not a complete translation of all of Augustine’s works, but it is a good start for…

  • Potential Shake-Up in American Roman Catholicism

    I found interesting this news report (link) regarding a plea to the pope to do something about the fact that much of American Roman Catholicism disregards key doctrines of Catholicism. Most interesting line to me: “Vatican officials were presented with irrefutable evidence that a majority of U.S. bishops refuse to uphold key teachings of the…

  • To Whom Can Roman Catholics Pray?

    That is to say, is it permitted by the sources of authority of Catholicism for the members of Catholicism to pray to anyone beyond God, Mary, and the saints? For some background, James Swan has been discussing this issue at his own blog (Can you pray to whoever you want to?). Book IV, Part II,…

  • Response to Paul Hoffer's Comments

    Someone [Mr. James Swan] directed me to the comment box of an entry of David Waltz’s blog where Mr. Hoffer has been providing some information and some misinformation (source). I’ll respond to Mr. Hoffer’s comments more or less line by line: Hoffer: “One of the problems with Mr. Fan’s (would he be considered a Pseudo-Turrettini…

  • Still Misquoting Athanasius as Steve Ray's Assistant Fails Again

    This debacle began with my original article (link), continued with a first response from Ray/Albrecht (link), and now I am sad to see that rather than correct his quotation of a spurious work attributed to Athanasius, the man who Steve Ray has set forth to defend Mr. Ray’s miscitation of a spurious source (Mr. William…

  • "Catholic Nick" Index Page

    So far, Nicholas (aka “Catholic Nick”) and I have just one debate (and it is still in progress). Nevertheless, I figure it is time to start an index page of our interactions so that it will be easy to locate our discussion. I don’t know much about Nicholas, as his website doesn’t give out much…

  • I'll Debate Richard Dawkins for $100,000

    If he’ll pay me $100,000, I’ll engage him in a debate. The money won’t come to me, it will go to two or three charitable organizations. I’m not in it for money, I just want to get Dawkins to part with $100,000 of his money so that the money will not be available for mocking…

  • Dr. White's Humanity and Augustine on the Bodily Presence of Christ

    Dr. White is human. To those of us who know and love him, this is no surprise. We realize that he is a man, just like us, and that consequently he makes mistakes. As Alexander Pope said, “To err is human, to forgive divine.” Dr. White is human and he, from time to time, errs.Recently…
