Christianity is not limited to […]

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.

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 […]
