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.
Chartres Cathedral
A couple of years ago, several people from my Church went on the Chartres Pilgrimage in France. It is a Pilgrimage that includes a long three day walk from Paris to Chartres Cathedral. The total distance is about sixty miles.
On June 12, 2016 in the early hours of the morning in Orlando, Omar Mateen walked into the homosexual night club Pulse and killed several dozen people with an assault weapon. Responses have been of every stripe. In the days following the slaughter, YouTube featured a rainbow heart right next to their logo.
Pope Pius IX – The Greatest Enemy of Liberalism
The West is anti-Christian and beyond repair. It has capitulated to moral backwardness and depravity. Christianity in the West is almost dead. While thriving in many other regions of the world, the Church is in trouble in the West.
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. John The Baptist
A common criticism leveled against the New Testament is that it gives the reader contradictory instructions on Baptism. This is often used by atheists and Muslims. The two instructions are baptism in the name of Jesus or baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The second one comes from the lips of Christ Himself.
The Garbage An Apologist Reads
After my review of Michael Coren’s book I received an email from a supporter of mine. She said:
Only Five Years Apart!
In a couple days I will be reviewing Michael Coren’s new book Epiphany: A Christian’s Change Of Heart & Mind Over Same-Sex Marriage. However, I want to give a little preview.
These days it’s hard to look at the Religion section in your local bookstore and not see several anti-Christian books by the famous apostate Bart Ehrman. It seems that he’s always got another book coming out attacking the Christian faith. As bad as things seem to be, all is not lost.
The Crucifixion Of Our Lord Jesus Christ
In my last few posts, I have dealt with the subject of Islam. It’s an important topic because they’re over a billion strong and becoming more prevalent in western society. I don’t critique their faith out of hate but out of love for them. They need the gospel just like everyone else.
