Scheduled to be released on the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s posting of the 95 theses is Mitch Pacwa’s The Reformation Project video series. Pacwa was recently on Catholic Answers to discuss the project. He’s looking to do a ten part series on the Reformation from a Roman Catholic perspective. The host of the interview introduced Pacwa by noting the

I have done five debates with Mitch Pacwa over the years (starting in January, 1991–those two debates were video recorded, and I’d love to show you clips, but the Roman Catholic side–not Mitch Pacwa personally–have the tapes and have never made them available). Each one has been very useful, respectful, and focused, unlike…the Sungenis debate on the Mass. Here is

If you’re curious to know about the outcome of the Eric Svendsen vs. Mitch Pacwa debate, “What is the final authority for the believer–the church (sola ecclesia) or the Scriptures (sola scriptura?)”, you can read a discussion/review about it here.

Today I have begun work on the Great Debate III on the Papacy with Mitch Pacwa from 1998. The video footage is much higher quality than the first two. I did find it interesting that when I looked at the original work that I did with Avid’s Liquid Edition software I decided to hook up the firewire cable and take

Recently a thread at the CA forums has illustrated yet once again how incredibly truth-challenged that particular corner of the Internet can be. As we have noted many times, in the CA Forums, anything will be believed, as long as it is 1) supportive of Romanism, and 2) at least negative, or better, slanderous, concerning yours truly. Some of the

Every few weeks a thread pops up on the Catholic Answers forums relating to yours truly. Most are normally “eye-rollers” involving the penchant of folks to only want to listen to one side, find a quick and easy rebuttal that has little to do with truth, and move on. But recently one has popped up regarding the issues relating to

TurretinFan is providing responses to a series of arguments put forward by Dave Armstrong. In today’s installment TurretinFan was responding to this argument: Is every Christian in the world able to find enough time, and become educated enough and familiar enough with Scripture to be his own theologian? And if he consults other ones, wise enough to always get it

I was directed to this blog entry that provides a response, of sorts, to a brief comment I offered about praying to “St. James” for my conversion. I wondered out loud just what St. James is supposed to do for me. Is he supposed to contradict himself relating to the second chapter of his epistle, found in Scripture? Of course,

   I’ll admit, I’m dumbfounded. I have often said that Rome’s primary American apologists live in a land, far far away from reality. They simply do not care what their most serious critics provide in the way of rebuttal. Once they have produced an argument, they will repeat it, no matter how often it is refuted, shredded, and otherwise turned into

   My history with Art Sippo is long indeed, and I will not rehearse it all here. A quick search of this website will produce all the documentation needed. Yesterday I posted a challenge to Art Sippo to back up his allegations which he posted with these words: For example, the sad and confused Mr. White claimed in the 1980s and

I continue my examination and refutation of Steve Ray’s attempt to defend Rome’s dogmatic teaching of the bodily assumption of Mary into heaven, and her doctrinal teaching of the queenly coronation of Mary. In our first installment we pointed out that since the Assumption is a dogmatic teaching, the highest standard of evidence is required to defend it, and we

(Once again, by the mouth of two or three witnesses: please see this excellent refutation of Armstrong’s errors on this same point).    I recently pointed out a basic, simplistic error in Dave Armstrong’s new book: he claims Protestants (he makes no distinctions) think elders, bishops, and deacons are all one office. He is, of course, wrong about this. I know

   Dave Armstrong has a new book out (anyone who has visited his website for many months is well aware of this fact). It is titled, The One-Minute Apologist. There isn’t much new here (Armstrong is not an original thinker, he just collates what others say and repeats their arguments, normally in very inflated forms), but the format is interesting. Each

   For some reason my Google blog search pulls up items from the Catholic Answers forums. This one came up a little while ago: On James White’s web site, he is advertising’s a number of debates against Tim Staples, Patrick Madrid and Mitch Pacwa. Presumably, he believes he ‘won’ these debates, at one point noting that St. Joseph’s Communications would not

   As our regular readers know, over the past week or so once again the wrath of a wide spectrum of Roman Catholics has been sent my direction due to my daring to be consistent with my own faith and with the positions I have presented in published works and public debates for many years. You have also noticed, I’m sure,

   The grand myth of Roman Catholic dogmatics (enshrined in her own statements), is the idea of the “unanimous consent of the Fathers.” Outside of monotheism, I do not believe you could create a “unanimous consent” based upon the currently existing historical record for any doctrine, any belief, without engaging in “tradition editing,” that is, without picking and choosing which sources

   As noted earlier, I ran across a blog entry titled “James White annoys me to no end.” When I read the article, I quickly typed up a few basic questions, designed to do nothing more than point out yet once again the double-standard that seems to define Roman Catholics on the web these days. I did not take the time

   I truly love how fair and unbiased folks can be. An announcement has been made regarding the upcoming debate between Eric Svendsen and Mitch Pacwa. I happened to run across this post from Art Sippo: Svendsen has already lost the debate. Sola Scriptura is pure Pelagianism. It reduces religious authority to mere human opinion. Sola Ecclesia Romana means that we

   It’s been almost a decade but nothing has changed about the historical realities regarding papal primacy. This is my rebuttal period from the debate with Mitch Pacwa on the Papacy from Long Island in 1998, illustrating once again how Rome’s claim to virtual ownership of church history is simply indefensible. The DVD of this debate is available here (#581).

   More insight coming from the responses being offered by Roman Catholics to some brief observations posted here regarding problems within Roman Catholic theology and practice. First thing is, the vast majority of folks who are willing to comment about what I say are also unwilling to actually listen to anything I have said in the past. While Reformed apologists review
