To this day, 1984 is one of my favorite works of fiction. George Orwell certainly knocked it out of the park on this one. It’s because of having read books like this and studied logic that I know how to see past slippery language.

Refute any Islamic Misuse of the Bible
by
The Sacred Scriptures
In recent decades, Muslims have begun using the Bible against Christians. In my view, this is an unwise move. It’ll only work providing the Christian does not know their own Bible, especially the NT. Christians and Muslims do share theology in common such as Jesus being the Messiah and born of a virgin. Muslims will see this in the Bible and take it as confirmation. However, on the points that we disagree, some Muslims will take quotes out of the context of the book they’re quoting from and try to prove Islam.
Thoughts on the Counter-Enlightenment
by
Count Joseph de Maistre
Happy Sunday! For many years, I’ve been familiar with the Papal Encyclicals that deal with the corrupt and anti-Christian ideas of the so called Enlightenment. The Popes of the 19th Century such as Gregory XVI, Pius IX and others condemned Enlightenment ideas such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and representative democracy.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends
by
Today, millions of Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. In Canada we celebrated Thanksgiving last month. The idea of Thanksgiving is to be thankful for what you have. The idea is to be thankful to the Creator. Obviously many things come to mind.
The Fall of Michael Coren
by
Michael Coren is the first person to block me on Twitter. I’ve been a harsh critic of his. About four years ago, he endorsed homosexual “marriage” and started attending an Anglican Church since they take a more liberal approach to sodomy. Of course, the Anglicans of old would consider this to be full blown apostasy but rationality seems to go out the window for enemies of Jesus Christ.

Yesterday two young conservative Catholics made a video on the “Spiritual Great Replacement”. These two Catholics are Brittany Pettibone and Faith Goldy. I actually met Faith Goldy in December 2014 when she came to Calgary to do a talk at a Catholic event. She headed a panel discussion with three local Priests. I’ve never met Brittany Pettibone before though I’m a fan of her book Hatred Day, co-authored with her sister Nicole.

This post is a follow up from my last post. Read it to get up to speed on my refutation of Dr. Brown’s critique of my post.
Responding to Dr. Michael Brown
by
On November 9, Dr. Michael Brown responded to a post of mine on his podcast. Here is the link:
His response starts at 16:30 and lasts a little under 10 minutes.
Dr. Michael Brown is a very intelligent man. His Biblical scholarship is first rate. I also admire him for exposing Rabbi Tovia Singer as a liar and a charlatan. I’ve probably read a dozen of Dr. Brown’s books. I’ve learned so much from reading what he has written on the Bible. Church history on the other hand is not an area that he excels in. He responded to my October 31 post where I said that the Catholic Church and Martin Luther bear zero responsibility for the holocaust. Keep in mind, I’m only defending the Catholic Church and one Protestant. No one else. Dr. Brown didn’t seem to get that as he was quoting 20th Century Protestant scholars who said Jesus was an Aryan and Nazi Biblical scholars. Obviously I don’t endorse that kind of stupidity, nor do I say they didn’t have a hand in the holocaust.
The Pope is Just a Man
by
Pope Gregory VII – The greatest Pope in the last 1,000 years
When I was in University I always used to hear the following phrase from Protestants: “Why do you guys make such a big deal about the Pope? He’s just a man.” No Catholic would object to the statement that the Pope is just a man. He certainly plays an important role but in the end, he’s just a man.
In Defence of Luther and a Challenge to the Rabbis
by
Luther and the true reformers
Today Protestants and some self-hating Catholics across the globe are celebrating the career of the renegade and apostate monk named Martin Luther. Being Catholic, I oppose his theology and his career as a “reformer”. Regardless, many articles have been popping up on the anti-Semitism of Martin Luther. They say that he paved the way for the holocaust. Of course when people say this, they often take a shot at the Catholic Church as well saying they were no better.
