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.
After some brief comments about some of the insanity in the world at the start, focused the rest of the hour upon the comments made by Tim Staples on yesterday’s Catholic Answers Live program where he talked about Mary and her role as co-redemptrix. Important stuff during this 500th anniversary of the Reformation! Here is the YouTube link:
This morning I saw that James Swan had blogged a portion of a Karl Keating e-mail. It caught my attention, partly because I think someone removed me from the CA fund-raising e-mail list (I can’t say I’m upset about that), and partly because it contrasted so strongly with the attempted presentations of Rome’s beliefs common in ecumenical and apologetic websites.
Over on the Envoy boards, one of Patrick Madrid’s posts (which has been anchored firmly at the top for months) is an advertisement for his 1993 debate with James White on Sola Scriptura.

Started off with a lengthy discussion of the great text in Romans 15:13, then moved on to 1 Timothy 4:1-3 in light of the current situation in Rome. Then looked very closely at the meaning of ἀπαράβατον at Hebrews 7:23-24 in light of a Mormon attempt to get around its meaning. Finally closed out with a few comments on the teaching
Looked at some claims about Aquinas by Norm Geisler, including a quick look at John 13:19, and then started to respond to the second in the series from Baptist Dogmatics regarding Matthew 24:36. What is “theological” or “dogmatic” exegesis? Well, we will find out more as we continue our review and response. But not tomorrow, though we plan on doing
