The Declaration of Christian Nationalism
1. Christian Nationalists (or Christian Patriots) are Christians, before anything else, we profess to be followers of Jesus Christ and his Apostles. One cannot be a Christian Nationalist, unless one is first a Christian, but it is possible for non-Christians to be friendly and sympathetic toward the Christian Nationalist movement. Christianity is not limited to […]

A Catholic Perspective on Christian Nationalism
The term “Christian Nationalism” was coined by the political Left, in an attempt to frighten people into fear of politically-active Christians. It’s most used by Leftist media and news outlets, in a nearly hysterical way, so as to incite as much panic among their viewers and readers as possible. It’s often thrown in with the […]

How to Evangelize the Evangelicals
As Catholics, we seem to have a deficit when dealing with Evangelicals. In short, there is a bit of a language gap. There are, of course, instances where Catholics and Evangelicals just don’t see eye-to-eye, and probably never will.

Evangelicals on the Canterbury Trail
This blog is going to be a little different from the usual. Normally, I address a Catholic audience, but this time I’m going to address my Evangelical brethren. I’m going to speak as a former Evangelical, as one who’s been there, and understands the issues. I make no pretenses here. I hide nothing. Deep down, […]

Why I Don’t Believe in the Rapture
Catholics do not believe in the Rapture. It’s not part of our eschatology, and it violates historic tradition on this matter. For that matter, the Eastern Orthodox don’t believe in the Rapture either, nor do the Coptic Christians, nor do non-Evangelical Protestants. In fact, the majority of Christians, throughout the world, do not believe in […]
