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,…

Ante-Nicene Christian Library – Index Page
This an index page for the “Ante-Nicene Christian Library” series, with Alexander Roberts and James Donaldson, editors. This was later – in effect – replaced by the “Ante-Nicene Fathers” series, which I have index here (link to ANF). This could be considered another of the lesser patrologies, dwarfed by Schaff, but mentioned by him in…

Library of Fathers – Index Page
The “Oxford Movement” headed by Drs. Pusey, Newman, and Keble (using the printer John Henry Parker) produced a series entitled, “A Library of Fathers of the Holy Catholic Church, Anterior to the Division of the East and West.” It apparently spans 48 volumes, but is eclipsed by the more complete series produced by Philip Schaff.…

Misquoting Gregory the Wonderworker
In a previous series (link to series index), we documented Steve Ray (and others) misquoting Athanasius (i.e. citing a spurious, or (at best) dubious, work as though it were authentic). Mr. Ray’s inaccurate citations, though, are not limited to Athanasius. Mr. Ray also misquotes Gregory Thaumaturgus (Thaumaturgus means Wonderworker). In particular, Mr. Ray quotes from…

Question for My Muslim Readers
Today I stumbled across an interesting question for my Muslim readers. The question is, how can Mohamed be called the greatest prophet? The question provides evidence from the Koran itself to document the idea that, even based solely on the Koran, Jesus was a greater prophet than any other prophet. Please consider reading and thinking…

No End in Sight for Misquotation of Athanasius
After posting some updates to my original article (link), I stopped by Mr. Albrecht’s video page, hoping against hope that Mr. Albrecht might have had the sense to apologize for his own (and his fellow apologists’) misquotation of Pseudo-Athanasius as Athanasius. My hopes were dashed. Instead, I found a new video in which: He repeats…

Response to Nick Regarding Spiral Argument and Private Judgment
Nick has provided a response to my rebuttal of Karl Keating’s “Spiral Argument” (link). Nick wrote: “I think you should distinguish between private judgment and a circular argument. Each of those terms correspond to different issues.” That’s true. They do often correspond to different issues. The come together, however, because the spiral argument employs private…
