Adam and Eve before they fell were sinless; had never sinned until they rebelled. If we consider all creatures, two-thirds of the angels are not only sinless now, but always have been so. Even Satan and the fallen angels were sinless before they rebelled. Some... Read more

Protestant anti-Catholic polemicist Eric Svendsen, who fancies himself an expert on Catholic Mariology, wrote in his doctoral dissertation from 2000: Who is My Mother?: The Role and Status of the Mother of Jesus in the New Testament and in Roman Catholicism: Post-Tridentine Catholic theology “went so far as to develop arguments from ‘fittingness,’ . . . This “fittingness” argument is usually traced to Duns Scotus [c. 1265-1308]. Excesses such as this lent credibility to the Protestant charge that Catholics “divinized”... Read more

Jason Engwer is a Protestant apologist who runs the site, Triablogue. He used to interact with me from 2002-2010 or so and then promptly stopped. I continue to critique his material, if I think there is educational value in doing so. Maybe one day he’ll decide to start dialoguing again, but if not, no skin off my back. I’ll continue to do what I’ve done these past [nearly] 33 years as a Catholic apologist. ***** I am responding to Jason’s... Read more
