Last updated on: May 25, 2017 at 12:23 pm By Dave Armstrong

Dave & Judy Armstrong sharing a very moving moment: saying the Hail Mary at the location of the Annunciation in Nazareth, where the angel said those words to the Blessed Virgin Mary (October 2014) (8-11-14) [this is the Introduction to my book, Footsteps that Echo Forever: My Holy Land Pilgrimage] “Pilgrimage.” I must confess that in my formerly evangelical Protestant mind, prior to 1990, the word conjured up images of semi-fanatical, curiously odd – yet nevertheless admirably devout –...

Debate: Am I a “Neo-Catholic” (Liberal / Progressive, Etc.)?

Last updated on: May 25, 2017 at 12:56 pm By Dave Armstrong

Dave Armstrong: selfie (January 2013) *** (7-11-13) * * * * * This exchange occurred on Mr. X’s Facebook page (he was a Facebook friend till now), on 10 June 2014. I would classify X as a radical Catholic reactionary (basically, one who bashes popes, Vatican II, and the Novus Ordo Mass). He is also a self-professed Feenyite. Michael McKinney is a “traditionalist.”I asked permission to post this because it was a “friends only” thread. I received no answer twice,... Read more

One “Binks Webelf” (a non-Catholic who says he is considering becoming a Catholic) took it upon himself to take issue with some of my arguments. His words will be in blue. He ends with the obligatory personal attacks against me, precisely as ended the previous exchange three days ago with a radical Catholic reactionary who classified me as a... Read more
