Catholic Alleged Impenetrability
Impenetrability (lack of understandability to outsiders) can be a real problem in many situations. It is a real problem, for example, to the doctrine of “Total Depravity,” which is mistaken by many (such as, apparently, Art Sippo) to mean that everyone is as depraved as they possibly can be. Nevertheless, in Roman Catholic Apolegetical circles…

Human Rights?
The true head of the Roman Catholic Church (unless you ask a sedavacantist RC) recently stated (source): “It was in Europe that the notion of human rights was first formulated. The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself.” This is interesting on several levels. 1) It is…

Centuri0n on Kurschner – Some Comments
Brother Centuri0n has posted a brief article (link) commending Kurschner’s eight reasons (link), which the present author had previously addressed (link).

God Gives – Infidel Misattributes
Here’s a story (link) about a neo-pagan falsely claiming that his false gods gave him a lottery win. It would be unsurprising if the man actually believed his own press: so strong is the delusion of the corruption of man’s nature. But it is God, not the demons of Wicca that disposes the lottery, and…
