New article up: Is your sole infallible rule of faith fallibly or infallibly known? If the former, you have no infallible rule of faith at all. Link in comments 👇

Here are 4: An infallible Church is absolutely necessary for Christianity to even be possible, and that any system lacking it reduces faith to mere religious opinion. Unbaptized babies may go to the New Earth, but not experience the Beatific Vision. They may be with their…

At its root, protestantism is simply a Christian form of atheistic skepticism. Its entire raison d’etre is either “the Church failed to an extent requiring our intervention,” OR “‘Church’ means something no one ever thought it meant so we can avoid ‘the Church failed’ argument,…

Visibility refers to concrete, historical leadership of the Church. During Christ’s earthly ministry, He was the visible head of the Kingdom. Then it was the Apostles after the Ascension. After them, the Bishops they ordained. By necessity, this can only be within one…

What’s crazy is only 3 characters from this game are still alive. From the original NES Wrestlemania game, only 2 are alive. Lots of early heart attacks. Why? Steroids. Some young Catholic men think steroids are not sin, but the truth is steroid use flows from sinful…

People who have followed me for awhile will note I was following once much more aggressively Palamite and Eastern-oriented theologically, and even critical of St. Thomas and St. Augustine at certain points. I was wrong to be critical of them, I just misunderstood them. So what…

“Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.” St. Peter was able to validate that Grace revealed to him that Christ is the Son of God because Christ acted as the living, public, objective and infallible rule of faith. After Christ’s ascension,…

What an accurate pie chart of global Christianity looks like Apostolic Succession, the Papacy, and the Eucharist, have had actual, tangible, observable effects in history. They do what Christ instituted them to do—despite the sins of men.

"And it is also true that since the Catholic Church is the only institution that even claims supernatural authority, with all its merciless logic, she has again the allegiance of practically all Christians who have any supernatural belief left." - Fr. Robert Hugh Benson For…

Actually, you have to reject 7 Books of the Bible entirely to be Protestant in most cases

Do you have an unconverted family member you really want to come into the Church? Consider fasting with the intention of their conversion at least one day per month. Sometimes Christ wants us to fill the large stone jars with water so He can turn it into wine at the right moment.

If your Church has the Holy Spirit actively leading it, all its doctrinal decrees are infallible. Therefore, saying your church’s decrees are not infallible is a confession that God is not leading you. There is no way around it. This truth will play a role at the Eschaton.

Because Evangelicalism is disproven by natural reason. The New Atheist movement was able to refute it without cracking open a Bible. What’s the sole infallible rule of faith for an Evangelical? The Bible they will say. Is the the Canon of Scripture fallibly known or infallibly…

If the Bible Canon is infallible, it’s the Canon of God. If it’s fallible, it’s a canon of man. If God left us with a Canon, then it must be infallibly known, or else God didn’t leave us with any Canon at all.

The way David did this in Psalm 32:5 was to a priest or prophet. This is completely overlooked by Protestants. In 2 Samuel 12, the prophet Nathan is sent to David after his sin, acting in a priestly function. After David repents, Nathan says: “The Lord has taken away your…

Much heresies are based on very shallow and puerile metaphysics. 1. The Nature of God - Arianism misunderstood divine simplicity and eternality, treating the Son as a temporal creature. - Modalism flattened divine personhood, confusing essence with hypostasis. - Open Theism…
