The Implications of “an honest summary of the state of Christendom at the end of the 15th century”
I skimmed through this recent account of a swim across the Tiber: An OPC Pastor Enters the Catholic Church. I found this comment from the author deep in the comments section: Karl Adam, in his book Roots of the Reformation, offers an honest summary of the state of Christendom at the end of the 15th century: “mongst the common people,
Aquinas as a Commentator, Doing “Theological Exegesis” on Matthew 24:36
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
Mariolatry Exemplified
Steve Hays (and our own Alan Kurschner) have already pointed out a Roman Catholic Psalter to Mary (link to Steve Hays’ post)(link to Alan Kurschner’s post)(link to “psalter”). I’m not sure the depth of the blasphemy involved is fully appreciated by most readers. In the following post, I will give both some high level information as well as a specific
Flattening Flimsy Flim-Flam
Mr. Mark Shea (link) seems to think that Dr. White’s post (link) is so much “huff-puffery.” Thankfully, the flim-flam from which Mr. Shea’s argument is constructed is so flimsy that it is flattened by even fairly rudimentary analysis. Mr. Shea seems to have forgotten the important lesson of the story of the three little pigs. The lesson wasn’t so much
The Catholic Myth of 33,000 Protestant Denominations is Alive and Well
On the last 2008 broadcast of Catholic Answers live, Tim Staples continued perpetuating the myth that there are 33,000 Protestant denominations (this MP3 can be heard here). Some time back Dr. White gave a thorough examination of this claim, as has Eric Svendsen. If you interact with those espousing Catholic apologetics, I suggest reviewing these links and keeping them handy.
Middle Knowledge – Part 4
This is the fourth section of the discussion of Middle Knowledge taken from Turretin’s Institutes. This section deals with Turretin’s six main objections to Middle Knowledge: (1) Two categories of knowledge are enough, because all things are either merely possible or actually future, (2) Untrue things cannot be foreseen as true, (3) God’s exhaustive providence precludes the possibility that mans’
If Sola Scriptura Creates Doctrinal Chaos….
…then why do we find Roman Catholics debating about the nature of the central act of worship in Roman Catholicism? This is one debate I may well find time to attend myself. Sungenis vs. Matatics on whether the Novus Ordo Mass is valid. But Rome is all united because of its tradition and the Papacy, yes? Hopefully a few Roman
