You know, I would like to see some of the major figures in Roman Catholicism, the “out front” guys, the ones who promote Rome as infallible, her Pope as the head of the church, etc., just once come out and say, “Look, people, this kind of thing is absurd and ridiculous. Pure superstition, idolatrous, and worthy of at the very

We shall break off at this point, for the chief goal of our considerations has been attained. We have seen that the New Testament as a whole strikingly demonstrates the primacy of Peter; we have seen that the formative development of tradition and of the Church supposed the continuation of Peter’s authority in Rome as an intrinsic condition. The Roman

I monitor nearly 30 blogs these days, thanks to the Sage plug in for Firefox, and some of them are already listing the “Pope-bashing” going on after the election of Benedict XVI. I couldn’t help but be struck by the irony of the situation. I just saw a leftist blog using all kinds of profanity while mocking Ratzinger’s German heritage.

Dave Armstrong has it right: Dr. Paul Owen of Montreat College is, in fact, one of the best friends the Roman Catholic apologetics community has ever come across. It is always good to have folks “inside” the other camp to come to your aid, sort of like a fifth column (“men will arise from your own ranks“). The tactic is

I’m not going to be placing any bets on who the next Pope will be, nor how quickly he will be chosen. I only predict that someone will say “Habemus Papam” and the gathered crowd will cheer and the fellow will bless the crowd in a less-than-perfect fitting papal outfit. How’s that for going out on a limb? In case

Just saw this, wanted to offer a response, and to once again invite “Scholastic” to join us on the Dividing Line. Might not work this Tuesday AM, as we hope to have Marty Minto as our guest, but surely on Thursday. 877-753-3341. Here’s the comment: How many times does James White have to paint caricatures of his Catholic opponents? (As

Ask if Rome’s gospel is biblical and what happens to you on certain radio networks? Well, we’ve found out. I imagine Marty would have gotten away with it if he had done just one program, but as I’ve discovered, in essence, if you believe Romans 1:16 is true; and if you believe Galatians condemns false gospels, and if you think

I sort of expected this would happen, and in fact, I’m happy it has, in a sense. Marty has been swamped with requests for interviews, and is driving to do a television interview even now, so he won’t be able to join us on the DL until next Tuesday morning. Pray for him as he has a unique opportunity to

Some of you will remember the name Marty Minto. I was filling in for Marty when I interviewed Dave Hunt in 2000 regarding Calvinism. I was on Marty’s show many times. In fact, it was a debate on Marty’s show on KPXQ here in Phoenix that eventually led to the writing of The Same Sex Controversy. Marty left the area

I depend a lot on folks out there to send me url’s and notes about who is saying what, and maybe the fact that it was not till today that anyone mentioned the “Internet Monk’s” comments says something, I don’t know. I guess the Internet Monk is a former Baptist, former Calvinist, now in that wonderful world similar to the
