Pope Francis And Patriarch Kirill
On Friday, Pope Francis met with Patriarch Krill, who is the head of the Russian Orthodox Church and the leader of about half of the world’s Eastern Orthodox members. He certainly holds influence in their church.
St. John of Damascus
In the West, which is very multicultural, it is not uncommon for a Christian to dialogue with a muslim. It will happen more and more as our society becomes more integrated. We need to study what we believe, what they believe, and know how to argue properly.
The Prophet Ezechiel
In a previous post, I talked about how reading scripture was an antidote to modernism. In that post, I focused on the New Testament but the Old Testament is full of gems as well. The book of Ezechiel is a great example. When one reads the first 15 chapters of Ezechiel, the idea that God is angry becomes very apparent. In Chapter 16 we read:
St. John The Apostle
A popular doctrine in Protestantism is Eternal Security, sometimes referred to as Perseverance of the Saints. Perseverance of the Saints represents the P in TULIP, which Calvinists believe in. In Arminian circles, it is usually referred to as Eternal Security. It is also referred to as once saved, always saved. It should be pointed out that many protestants do not believe in this doctrine, among these are the Lutherans who were the original protestants.
St. Robert Bellarmine
Imagine that you owned a very expensive car? A Ferrari Modena perhaps. You’d probably construct a whole new garage for it, use nothing but the best fuel, only drive it in certain areas and treat it like you’ve treated nothing before.
Pope Eugene IV Who Presided Over The Council Of Florence
A month has passed since the publication of a controversial document entitled: THE GIFTS AND THE CALLING OF GOD ARE IRREVOCABLE. Sadly, the document is deeply heretical. It was written by Cardinal Kurt Koch. The fact that it is on Vatican.va suggests that at least some with authority higher than his approve of this document. It can be found here:
Gideon With His Soldiers
This post is a response to an online atheist blogger named Melissa. She posted a video about American Christians supporting the war in Iraq and how since Iraqi’s aren’t Christian, going over and killing them will rob them of any chance of salvation.
Our Lady of Fatima – Who spoke a very unpopular Truth
If one looked at the world between 1900 and 1950 you would see significant differences. In 1900, the Tsar was in power in Russia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still alive in Southern Europe, and the Ottoman Empire still existed though it was well past its glory days. By the year 1950, Communists ruled Russia, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empire no longer existed and a Jewish State existed in the middle East. Russia’s communist errors had spread to most of Eastern Europe, China, and elsewhere. Interestingly enough, only two superpowers existed and both wanted to spread their vision for humanity. Those nations were Russia and America. Many other changes could be mentioned.
St. Nicholas of Myra – The Saint who somehow became Santa Claus
I would like to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas!
Christ the King
As we are nearing Christmas Day, we must reflect upon what the day really means. Christmas is not only the birthday of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God but of the King of the Universe.
