Rich worked hard to work on the audio challenges we have had in the past and the changes made it a lot easier for me to play video clips on the program today. So, we looked at Jeff Durbin’s exchange with the Jewish representative in Georgia, and responded to Joel Webbon’s criticism of that exchange. Then we looked at some

About halfway through the program we had a power spike due to a storm blowing into Phoenix, but we got it all recorded anyway.

The Ignatian Strawman Extinguished

, , Church Fathers, Church History, Debate, Personal, Road Trip, Roman Catholicism, Simply Silly, The Dividing Line

Though I really wasn’t feeling well after I arrived here in Amarillo, I felt it was absolutely necessary to address the amazingly dishonest attacks that have been launched against me about a single cross-examination question from Saturday night’s debate. So we did a full dive into Ignatius, his writings, the issues with the transmission of those writings, forgeries, you name

A listener sent in the printed schedule of my events from my trip to New York in April of 1998, which I read through as evidence of the fact that Chris Arnzen tried to kill me back then! After a bit of that we looked at some Marian devotion issues relating to the gospel, and then focused in on the

The addition of Catholic speaker Calvin Robinson to the line up at the the Defeating Trashworld Conference in April has stirred up a lot of controversy, and properly so.

I explained at the start of the program that things had developed that required me to shorten the program and rush off a bit…to get my new (first time) hearing aids!
