Orlando And The Pharisees

The Pharisees – The Enemies of God

In the days following the mass shooting of homosexuals in Orlando by an Islamic supporter of ISIS, I have some thoughts. It’s quite amusing to look at the angry anti-Christian leftists in the media. They simply don’t know what to do. If this was a fundamentalist Christian who killed these homosexuals, there would be no problem. Since it was a Muslim supporter of ISIS they’ve had problems. The media will fall on its sword for Islam and for homosexuality. The poor leftists are confused. It’s kind of amusing to watch them running in circles like a dog chasing its tail.

Liberalism Is Garbage

Anti-Liberal literature of Pope Pius IX.

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.

Sharia, The West, And The Christian Faith

A few years ago, I watched this debate between David Wood and Anjem Choudary. The topic of the debate is: “Would Sharia Help the West?” Sadly, David Wood took the wrong approach. Attacking Sharia is good but then when he went about defending how things are in the West I shook my head.

The Feast Of St. Robert Bellarmine

St. Robert Bellarmine

St. Robert Bellarmine

Today is the feast of St. Robert Bellarmine.  In my opinion he is the greatest Christian thinker, Biblical scholar, apologist, and theologian in the last 500 years.  I would also say that he is the second greatest Christian theologian of all time after St. Thomas Aquinas.  In other words, better than St. Augustine of Hippo, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Bernard of Clairvaux.  He was born in 1542 when the Protestant “reformation” was in full swing.  He eventually became a Cardinal of the Catholic Church and participated in three papal conclaves.  He is a canonized Saint and a Doctor of the Church.  There are only 36 Catholics who hold the title Doctor of the Church and it is only reserved for the greatest theologians.

Shabir Ally And The Resurrection Of Christ

The Crucifixion Of Our Lord

The Crucifixion Of Our Lord

Recently there was a debate between Protestant apologist Mike Licona and Islamic apologist Shabir Ally. The proposition was Jesus: Resurrected or Rescued. While Licona was defending resurrection, Ally was defending what is known as swoon theory. Classical Islam has traditionally stated that Jesus was never crucified but that someone was meant to look crucified in his place. This comes from the Quranic verse Surah 4:157 which reads:

Epiphany: A Christian’s Change Of Heart & Mind Over Same-Sex Marriage By Michael Coren

A Review

by

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 Response to Dr. James White

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.

James White Is Extremely Dishonest And Should Not Be Taken Seriously

White And Ally - Two Sides Of The Same Coin

White And Ally – Two Sides Of The Same Coin

James White is an inconsistent apologist. He is more than happy to point out how Islamic apologists like Shabir Ally use double standards to attack the Christian faith but when it comes to attacking Catholicism, he throws those standards out the window.

Islamic Apologetics And The Majority of Scholars

by

The Sanhedrin - The Majority Of Scholars That Condemned Christ

The Sanhedrin – The Majority Of Scholars That Rejected Christ

According to the majority of scholars….The majority of scholars say…..Most scholars have concluded….

Ever heard these lines before when dealing with Islamic apologists? I certainly have. To Islamic apologists, this argument carries a lot of weight. However, they’ll only pull out the “majority of scholars” when it backs up their position. Since I have written on this inconsistency in the past, I won’t repeat it here.  I want to touch on how to confront these arguments head on.
