Dr. White Returns with Initial Impressions on Debate with Sungenis on Papal Infallibity
Even without a moderator, Sungenis behaved in a much more civil way than Tim Staples did in a recent, similar debate. Further, their defenses of papal infallibility were mutually contradictory. Also, an upcoming 900 page book by Webster and King on Sola Scriptura is looking to be the “nuclear bomb” against the Catholic position. Some calls on church history and
Patrick Madrid Interprets Revelation 12
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. (Revelation 12:1-2) When asked where the Bible teaches Mary was assumed into heaven, Catholic apologists typically use

A Call to Roman Catholic Apologists to Repent of the Use of Simple Dishonesty in Their Presentations If you have ever listened to a Catholic convert on EWTN talking about their “journey home,” you have heard the argument.

On The Origin of the Term “Biblicism”
On a Dividing Line in July of this year, Dr. James White discussed a section from a book by Dr. Matthew Barrett on the dangers of what he has termed “Biblicism”. The section was taken from Dr. Barrett’s forthcoming Systematic Theology. However, this post is not an interaction with the fuller points of that section but rather on what Dr.
The Catholic Verses: Introit
I sometimes feel sorry for ancient artists. Their work gets plastered all across the covers of modern books, but they never get a dime for their efforts. It’s a shame. That odd observation aside, I picked up a copy of Dave Armstrong’s The Catholic Verses: 95 Bible Passages That Confound Protestants (Sophia Institute Press, 2004, 235 pp.), which sports said
On Division and Harmony with Rome (Part I)
With the advent of the Vatican II Council, there has been a greater focus on scriptural authority in the RCC. I have witnessed that first hand in some recent viewings of Catholic masses on EWTN. I actually was impressed with the amount of scripture being read and taught and found little that I disagreed with in the messages. Yet, I
