Sola Scriptura is a DISQUALIFYING Belief for Authentic Christianity.
I frequent a number of “Anti-Catholic” message boards, and have since I was a neophyte believer. I do it because it’s always good to stay ready and sharpened in your ability to give a defense of the faith – but also because it *is* missionary territory. Sometimes a “doozy” of a claim will come up, […]
Why Do Catholics Have Statues?
Imagine a soldier during WWII. His name is Steve. He’s in a foxhole, and in 45 seconds he and his fellow soldiers will be charging out of their foxhole, through a hail of gunfire, to the next trench. Undoubtedly, some of them won’t make it. In the final seconds before the charge, Steve reaches into […]
Protestant Scholars on Mt 16:16-19
Mt 16:16-1916 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jona! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.18 And I tell you, you are Peter (Pevtroß, or “petros”), and on this rock (pevtra, or “petra”) […]
“Where do you Catholics find Confession in the Bible?”
Jesus Grants Authority to Forgive Sins John 20:21 (RSV): Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” In this verse, Jesus conveys to his apostles that they are being sent forth in a similar manner as he was sent by the Father. Just […]

The (Fake) War On Women: Taking Cecile Richards To Task
In March, Cecile Richards told the Huffington Post that there are some states where “it’s not safe to be a woman”, citing laws recently passed in North Dakota. “It’s almost like the November elections didn’t happen”, she claimed. I said in my previous post that Planned Parenthood is unique because their business drives the need. For other businesses, the reverse […]
With All of the Hubris and Chutzpah of Antiochus…
I do not like the president. I’m sure he acts in what he views as the best interests of the most people, but he’s wrong, and he’s dismantling the very basis of our country: the first amendment, by forcing Catholics to violate their consciences in order to be in business. But that’s all old news. […]
“My Porn Addiction”

The End Game of Gender-less Marriage
True story: Last month, there was a writers panel in Sydney, that addressed the topic of marriage. Titled tongue-in-cheek as “Why get married when you can be happy,” some of the participants tipped their cards rather tellingly on what the marriage re-definition issue is really about. The real winner of a quote comes from Masha […]
