Bishop Barron’s Pelagianism
John Bugay is a Christian apologist that specializes in areas dealing with Roman Catholicism. He watched the discussion between Ben Shapiro and Bishop Robert Barron and said this: And I think this is what is meant by saying that Vatican II invited in Pelagianism. I think that a pre-Vatican II Roman Catholic would have real trouble understanding what Barron is saying, precisely because Rome worked hard (up to that point, I would say) to say that even the “congruent merit” that we gain from our own good works is merely “congruent” — they would be say it is “grace filled, … Continue reading Bishop Barron’s Pelagianism
Through the Waters
Catholics and Orthodox have a few prooftext for baptismal regeneration. They don’t believe the Bible and punt for the authority of the Church to decide everything for them. These aren’t all of them but I’ll add on this from time … Continue reading Through the Waters
Irenaeus and Papal Succession
2. Since, however, it would be very tedious, in such a volume as this, to reckon up the successions of all the Churches, we do put to confusion all those who, in whatever manner, whether by an evil self-pleasing, by vainglory, or by blindness and perverse opinion, assemble in unauthorized meetings; [we do this, I say,] by indicating that tradition derived from the apostles, of the very great, the very ancient, and universally known Church founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul; as also [by pointing out] the faith preached to men, which … Continue reading Irenaeus and Papal Succession

The Papacy and Capital Punishment
The ever-changing unchanging church of Rome has struck again. This isn’t about adulterous Catholics and communion. It is about the recent development of the Pope’s thoughts about capital punishment. The Pope, having the spine of a jellyfish and the Biblical knowledge of Richard Dawkins, has come to the conclusion that it is “inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person”. There is yet another way to eliminate others, one aimed not at countries but at individuals. It is the death penalty. Saint John Paul II stated clearly and firmly that the death penalty is … Continue reading The Papacy and Capital Punishment
Hold to the traditions
Orthodox and Catholics apologist readily quote a few Biblical verses to support their claims to traditions. 2 Thess. 2:15 So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by … Continue reading Hold to the traditions
White vs Williams
This debate that was supposed to be a debate about indulgences turned into a debate about Church Authority and Protestant canon. Peter lives in the modern time where epistemology is done without any regard for metaphysics, but that hasn’t been the narrative throughout history. Williams only challenges to White in this debate was about his way of coming to a knowledge of the canon. James White gave a near externalist account of it where canon causes a positive doxastic attitude towards a proposition. The debate almost reminds you of the problem of the criterion. Do you start with particular examples … Continue reading White vs Williams
Blackjack Catholicism
I had an exchange with a Catholic about the Catholic Church preventing people from reading the Bible and the Church’s liberalism fits its convictions. He challenged me to provide a source so I quoted T-blog quoting Reformation21: Rome’s suppression of … Continue reading Blackjack Catholicism
