Started off today with a few interesting and funny tweets, wished Tom Buck a happy birthday, lamented tomorrow evenings Presidential “debate,” discussed Francis’ detestation of the Latin Mass, and finished up looking at the comments of an open theist concerning God’s decree and his demand that God be as limited and creaturely as the rest of us.
Not much time for anything but writing, but… Miki says she will call the DL as long as I do not dominate the conversation with sophistry and anger. Yet, she has never listened to the DL, so, how would she know…oh, never mind. If you want an example of more of this kind of thing, check out the melt down
In generations past the term “Romanism” was used to identify those who make the bishop of Rome, whom they call “the Pope,” the central figure in Christianity. Since Rome claimed ultimacy in all things ecclesiastical, epistemological, theological–then it seemed quite appropriate to identify those who serve Rome, defend Rome, seek to make converts to Rome, as…Romanists.

On July 2nd I posted a 3,330 word article relating to particular claims made by Roman Catholic writer Mark Shea in his three-volume set on Mary. I invested a fair amount of time examining Shea’s claims relating to an important topic, one related to Shea’s own criticism of one of my claims. I provided evidence of error on Shea’s part,

Here are the details as to location, time, directions, contact info, etc. I do not believe the debate will impact the Thursday DL, for those interested, as I fly over
Someone came into channel asking about Ignatius this morning and in the process dropped the URL to another thread on the Catholic Answers Forums about yours truly, and once again I sit here in utter disbelief at the double standards that people will use without blinking an eye as long as it is in the service of Mother Church (and
Aside from a few technical hiccups and a bit of wandering about, spent pretty much the entire hour on Rome’s Marian teachings, looking in particular at where they came from. I read from such sources as the Odes of Solomon, the Ascension of Isaiah, and especially from The Protevangelium of James. Be warned! Some of this material is a bit difficult to listen
I was amused to note one example of Rome’s improvisational informal magisterium at work to poach another Reformed slogan. It’s not one of the slogans that the first generation reformers used (Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Gratia, Solus Christus, Sola Deo Gloria), but one that became popular in the 17th century: “Ecclesia reformata quia semper reformanda est” (“The Church is
