Two garbage books
In my last post I reviewed Jon Sweeney’s biography about renegade cleric Fr. James Martin. It’s really not a book worth reading. I suppose that it’s the opposite of hagiography when you think about it. Pray for the lost soul.
Yes I know I am a snob but I am a missionary so I am allowed a few vices.
– Fr. James Martin
I’ve always wondered what book I would give to a liberal heretic if I ever met them. Obviously Fr. James Martin is the most famous one in the English speaking world so he occupies the heretic slot in the question. What book would I give to Fr. Martin? Of course, Fr. Martin could be replaced with Ted McCarrick, Cardinal Wuerl, or any of the pseudo-theologians who composed the Instrumemtum Laboris for the upcoming Amazon Synod.
On June 13, 2017, the book Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion, and Sensitivity was released. It was written by the well known American Jesuit Fr. James Martin. A few things should be pointed out about this book. The first is that it is not published by a Catholic publishing company; it is published by HarperOne like most of his books. Second, while it doesn’t contain the Imprimatur from the local Bishop, it does contain an Imprimi Potest from Fr. John Cicero, the Jesuit Provincial Superior of the USA Northeast Province of the Society of Jesus. I think that says quite a big about the current state of the Jesuits. Lastly, Fr. Martin is known to be a rank modernist. I didn’t expect the apostolic faith to be upheld in this book. In case you’re wondering, it wasn’t.
The remains of Glastonbury Abbey which was looted by Henry VIII and Cromwell in 1539
This post is actually a good follow up to my last post which says that by around the year 1500, the days when a Pope wielded immense political power were long gone. The 16th century was one of Kings, Queens, and Princes. In my interview with Dr. E. Michael Jones he mentioned that the Protestant reformation was a state sponsored looting operation. He has mentioned this before as well.
Believe it or not, I actually enjoy studying the life of Martin Luther. I’m big into Church history and obviously he’s one of the most influential people in Church history whether you think he was right or wrong.
I come from a German family. The main religion of the German people is Lutheranism and that is what my family is. Both of my grandparents died as practicing Lutherans. Although I inherited the Catholicism of my Ukrainian mother, I grew up around Lutheranism.
Less than a week ago, Calvinist apologist James White debated Islamic apologist Adnan Rashid on a very important topic. The topic was: “Do we need the cross for salvation?” I have many thoughts on the debate and I want to share a few.
On January 18, 2017, two top notch apologists debated the subject of “Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?” The debaters were Catholic apologist Trent Horn and Calvinist apologist James White. James White has had numerous debates with Catholic apologists and rarely loses against them. With the exception of Robert Sungenis, I would say that no Catholic has won over half of their debates against him. He’s good, I’ll say that much.
Sodomy is not a family value.
The anus is not a sex organ.
Sexual Liberation is Political Control. pic.twitter.com/jdVbTfTxxj— Dave Reilly (@realDaveReilly) October 30, 2019
There have been three pieces of good news recently and I couldn’t be happier. The first one is when Dave Reilly(the man above) challenged American conservative Charlie Kirk on his endorsement and promotion of sodomy. Turning Point USA is a conservative organization. We religious people tend to think that conservatives are on our side or at least more favorable. Dave Reilly shows that at least some of them are wolves in sheep’s clothing. As Catholics it would be wrong to give any money to Turning Point USA.
