Skanderbeg
Yesterday two young Islamic fundamentalists went into a Church in a small village in Normandy, France and murdered the Priest while he was celebrating the liturgy. The attackers were 19 years old and the priest was 86 years old. Fr. Jacques Hamel died a martyr for his Catholic faith.
Liberal Heretic Fr. Richard McBrien
Two Protestant apologists have been commenting on my page recently. They are Sam Shamoun and Ken Temple. I just want to say to the two of you that I deeply respect your intellect and am happy that you read this blog. I’m also thankful for the website answering-islam.org. I make use of the website quite often.
On February 28, 2016 I was in my hometown at my parents house and watching the Oscars. At the very end of course is Best Picture. It happened to be Spotlight, a film that chronicles a team of Journalists exposing the ecclesial cover up of priests who had been abusing, molesting, and raping children.
Idolatry
There is an old mindless cliché that goes: “Christianity is not a religion, but a personal relationship with God.” We’ve all heard this garbage at one point or another. This is often used by Evangelical Protestants but it has slipped into Catholicism in recent years. What are my thoughts on this? I think that this is absolutely false and heretical.
Quanta Cura – Anti-Liberal literature by Pope Pius IX.
A few months ago, I saw an interesting looking book on the shelf in a Catholic bookstore. It was called Amazing Church by Fr. Gregory Baum. I knew that Fr. Baum was a theological advisor at the Second Vatican Council so I decided to pick it up. The book sat on my shelf for a couple of months then last week I decided to crack it open. It was just what I expected.
St. Francis of Assisi
A couple of years ago, I was reading a set of homilies by St. Francis de Sales bound into one volume. The preface of this volume was written by Cardinal Carberry on May 31, 1985. In the preface he wrote:
The Garbage An Apologist Reads
After my review of Michael Coren’s book I received an email from a supporter of mine. She said:
Every Canadian knows the name Michael Coren but watching his career over the last couple of years has been like watching a train wreck in slow motion. In 2011 he published Why Catholics Are Right and followed up with The Future Of Catholicism in 2013. Things changed not long after that. In 2014 he changed his mind on homosexuality and started secretly frequenting the Anglican Church while masquerading as a Catholic in the public square. In 2015 it became public that Canada’s once greatest Catholic apologist had officially joined the Anglican Church and at the centre of his conversion was his new views on homosexuality.
My Raymond Brown Collection
Yesterday Dr. James White responded to my post: James White Is Extremely Dishonest And Should Not Be Taken Seriously. His response showed some anger but its understandable since I aggressively attacked his apologetic methodology against Catholicism. The same methodology used by Shabir Ally when criticizing Christianity as a whole.
