UPDATED SEPTEMBER, 2001.  See bottom of page for details. UPDATED APRIL, 2002.  See bottom of page for  even more details. James C. (he has asked that his last name be withheld) is a Roman Catholic seminary student, or so he claims.   I believe I first encountered him in AOL under the screen name JIMMYJOEJ.  I would often find him

Someone once said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.  In many walks of life this is evident, no less when using Greek to engage in exegesis of the text of Scripture.  Unfortunately, few enough in the church are conversant enough with Greek to know when they are being given accurate information, or whether they are being told a

As we were packing our things there were lots of discussions as to which would be the first rides to get on. “I am definitely going to get on Supreme Scream first.” “Oh, I can’t wait to get on Ghostrider.” These were the exchanges taking place between my daughters Angelique and Abigail and their close friend Summer White. They were

When I, my mom, brother, Escobedo family, and Jason Naut, drove to California early Friday morning the reason for my excitement was because the next day we would hopefully be in Knott’s Berry Farm.  That night we would be attending a debate between my father and Mr. Staples.  I was looking forward to it, of course, but I was more

My name is Kelli White.  You probably don’t know me but if you’re reading this you may know of or at least heard of my husband, James White.  He is the Director of Alpha and Omega Ministries in Phoenix, AZ.  Some say he is a controversial man at times.  Last week is one such example.  On Thursday he was in

The card came in a small, unobtrusive envelope with a San Diego return address on the back.  It was sent to the ministry Post Office box, “Attn James White.”  I opened it to find a card with a drawing of a Roman Catholic chalice and wafer on the front, and the title, “For Your Intentions.”  I opened it to find

It is the constant theme of the modern resurgence in Roman Catholic apologetics: take the teaching of the Magisterium as the final word, and do to the early Fathers whatever you need to so as to substantiate the dogmatic teachings of Rome.  It is pleasant to read Roman scholars who have come to recognize that the early Church was not

For a number of years now I have been presenting to audiences, classes, and just about anyone who would lend me their ear, the concept of the Marian dogmas (and the Bodily Assumption of Mary in particular) as the single best example of sola ecclesia I can find. What is sola ecclesia? It is the concept that the Roman Church

James White Responds to Tim Staples’ Article, “How to Explain the Eucharist” in the September, 1997 issue of Catholic Digest Catholic apologists know the situation well.  The Evangelical Christian has his Bible and is making waves at a family reunion.  It’s a common situation since 1) Evangelicals are evangelical; that is, they share their faith, and few Catholics even view

On June 29, 1999, we posted an open challenge to Karl Keating and Catholic Answers to debate in San Diego, California, their main base of operations.  We did so because Catholic Answers was continuing to claim, in their literature, to be out front taking on “anti-Catholics” at seminars and publicly giving the “Catholic answer.”  We find it hypocritical that Catholic

Addition made 8/24/99: Catholic Answers Announces Budget of $3,300,000.00 for the Year 2000 This huge budget includes $350,000.00 for administration, and $350,000.00 for fund-raising!  Why is this relevant?  Well, in light of the information contained below, and Catholic Answers’ constant claim to be on the “front lines” giving the “Catholic Answer,” it strikes us as a bit strange that the

Well, I figured this particular story was over, and we’d be spending our time talking about the amazing actions of Mr. Sungenis during our debate on Long Island. But, a few weeks after that debate (and a number of more e-mails from Sungenis, Sippo, et. al. on that subject, all unsolicited, all unresponded to) I received a two-part message (unsolicited)

Amazingly, it continued on.  Mr. Sungenis sent a message with an attached 24-page letter.  The material that is preceded and followed by *** is from his letter.  This is the file I wrote and then imported for mailing.  I fixed a few typographical errors in the actual e-mail that I may have missed here. Until June 4th, this concluded this
