Did Hippo, Carthage, or Rome's Bishop Settle the Canon?
Some Roman Catholics are under the false impression that the councils of Hippo (A.D. 393) and/or Carthage (A.D. 397) authoritatively settled the canon of Scripture for the church – either directly or by endorsement by one or more Roman bishops. To be deep in history, however, is to cease to be so naive. John of…

Aquinas Opera Omnia – Fretté & Maré – Index Page
The collection of all of Thomas Aquinas’ works was undertaken by editors Paul Maré and Stanislai Eduardi Fretté in what is (to my knowledge) the largest collection of Aquinas’ writings. Google Books has digitized many volumes of this collection (in two collections – first collection and second collection, and I’ve provided links to the relevant…

No Dialog with Proselytizers
I was amused to see that Jewish groups are complaining about the fact that Roman Catholics are trying to proselytize them during dialog (link). What did they think the point of the dialog was, exactly? What is even more amusing is the similarity between the Jewish leaders comments and the comments of some of the…

Yes – Every Sin Deserves the Eternal Wrath of God
Mr. C Michael Patton has a rather disappointing post up in which he denies that every sin deserves an eternity in hell. He calls this idea “stupid” and declares that it “trivializes sin and makes God an overly sensitive cosmic torture monger.” “Stupid” is a bit extreme for something that’s a part of the doctrinal…

Out of Tune with the Roman Magisterium?
Mr. Shea has posted a still further response on the topic of Mary’s birth pangs or lack thereof and the woman of Revelation 12 (link to Shea’s post). Mr. Shea seems to think our arguments “flat-footed” and compares discussing this with us to discussing music appreciation with a deaf man. This flatfloot, however, is less…

The real Francis Turretin on: Invocation of Saints by Prayer
Marc Lloyd has kindly provided a nice collection of quotations from the real Francis Turretin on the invocation of dead saints by prayer. (link). Of particular note, Turretin deals with the argument from requesting prayers from our fellow brethren. This argument’s been around a long time and is just as wrong today as it was…
