This lively debate with several people took place on my Facebook page (see the complete, unabridged discussion) underneath a posting on the topic of the widespread “orans” posture during the Our Father at Mass. As usual, a “firestorm” ensued and (mostly) the same points that are always raised were made in opposition. I responded to them. Readers may make up their own minds, having seen both general “sides” of the dispute. That’s the beauty of dialogue, why I love it... Read more

The New Bible Dictionary (J. D. Douglas, editor, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans Pub. Co., 1962) concludes about Onan (Genesis 38): “this verse does not pass any judgment on birth control as such” (p. 789). The reasoning often used to overcome the force of the verse is that Onan was punished by God (with death) for disobeying the “levirate law,” whereby a brother of a dead husband was to take his sister-in-law as his wife and have children with her (Deuteronomy... Read more

I wrote the first part below on 8-11-03, disgusted, upon deciding to leave an anti-Catholic discussion board. It expresses my very strong feelings concerning the tragedy of Christian division and how it harms the Body of Christ and the larger culture and society we live in. It is what is called a “jeremiad”: thundering, prophetic, righteous indignation. ***** A two-year-old child of a friend of my wife’s was struck by a car and killed today. This is real life, which consists... Read more

Introduction added on 3-16-11: *** This was dug deep out of the Armstrong Archives, after someone asked about it today. It was uploaded from a debate on a public discussion list, dominated by evangelical Protestants, on 11 January 1999. I found it on Internet Archive and then after glancing through it decided to restore it to my blog. I’m not sure why this was removed. I don’t even bother debating anti-Catholic Protestants (as this person was) anymore. If you read... Read more
