Who are those nice folks coming to your door witnessing for Jehovah? Well, I could go into a long story about their origin, peculiar practices, problematic "prophecies," and methods of psychological coercion, but that would just make for a long post. Instead, I'll cut to the chase. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, better known... Continue Reading →
This morning I read an article (see here) that made me laugh, because it relayed a story about a cardinal in the Catholic Church who doesn't seem to understand some very basic terms. He suggested that Catholics who protest some actions of the pope ought to become Protestants, because that's what they essentially are. I... Continue Reading →
What is Mormonism? Some Evangelical Christians refer to Mormonism as a "cult." I think that term is a little too harsh as well as inaccurate. A "cult," in the English sense of the word, means: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious. However, the word has extremely negative connotations that suggest elements of mind-control and...

As we approach the release of Pope Francis’ Amazon Synod Exhortation (late January or early February), it’s very important to keep your eye on the ball.

Many Christians mistakenly believe Arianism was defeated centuries ago, but in truth, it never left us. It just morphed, changing forms, and remains with us today in many different manifestations....

Living in the Bible Belt, I run across a lot of misconceptions about what Catholicism is. Of course, I ran across these things in Southern California too, so the problem isn't just limited to the Bible Belt. Strangely, I've even seen Catholics display some pretty funny ideas of what makes one Catholic. I remember the... Continue Reading →
For those of you who still might think Freemasonry is just some harmless boys club with funny hats, think again. No organization has been condemned by the Catholic Church more than the Masonic Lodge. The Catholic Church has imposed the penalty of excommunication on all Catholics who become Freemasons (or members of the Masonic Lodge).... Continue Reading →
One of the common accusations leveled against Catholic by both Protestants and Muslims is that we worship idols. One of the reasons why this happens, particularly among Muslims, but also among some Protestants too, is that they really don't understand what an idol is. Their knowledge of the subject is elementary, almost childlike. If they... Continue Reading →
