St. Thomas Aquinas
Today is the Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas according to the Traditional Catholic calendar. St. Thomas is the Angelic Doctor of the Catholic Church and still, after 2,000 years, he remains the greatest mind in Christendom.

I was once asked if I believed in interfaith dialogue. I told my friend that it depends. Dialogue is a word borrowed from two Greek words, dia and logoi. Dia means “through” and logoi means “words”. To put it plainly, dialogue means “through words”. At this point it is evident that dialogue is certainly a means to an ends.
St. Athanasius – Defender Of The Incarnation
The concept of the Incarnation is difficult to grasp for most Jews. Orthodox rabbis like Rabbi Tovia Singer state that God cannot come down in the form of anything. I find this odd since the Rabbi is telling God what he can and cannot do. The truth is, God comes down to earth in the form of a man several times in the Old Testament.
The Creation
Catholic Apologist Jimmy Akin was recently on a talk show where he discussed the Catholic view of Creation. He pointed out that there wasn’t one view in the Catholic Church and his view was his own. The video can be found at the following link.
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.

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:
