  • Mary Considered: A Study on the Biblical Mary Versus the Roman Catholic Mary

    August 22nd is the feast day, on the Catholic calendar, of the “Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary” in the Roman Catholic church calendar. Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954.

  • Exceptionality: A Discourse on Race, Societal Worth, and Culture

    Many people. in contemporary times, hold it as an article of faith that all societies and cultures are of equal value. I assert this is a myth. If one is intellectually honest, virtually any metric you apply to evaluate and analyze the strengths and weaknesses, and contributions to the vast fields of knowledge, of societies…

  • The Roman Catholic Church in Analysis

    Background Since its beginning, with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380 AD, making Trinitarian Christianity the state religion of the Roman Empire, the Roman Catholic church has, over the centuries, accumulated a vast corpus of doctrine/dogma.

  • Some Thoughts on Sola Scriptura

    Background The more I interact with Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox, and some non-Reformed Protestants, the greater I see the need and absolute necessity of the Reformed principle of Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone).

  • The Lost Generations: Christians in America to Become a Minority by 2070

    The Problem I’ve noticed recently some polling showing that young people aged 18-25 are leaving the faith they were raised in record droves!
