As far as I can tell, Rohr is a heretic. (Clinical label, not pejorative.) Heresy is the obstinate denial or obstinate doubt after the reception of baptism of some truth which is to be believed by divine and Catholic faith. He has been in trouble before for his teachings. I cannot help but...

I find that Protestants in general don't have a handle on history and are wont to either create or buy into revisionist history in order to try to continue to justify their opposition to Christ's Church.

Saul (St. Paul by his Hebrew name) believed that Christianity was wrong, too. He went around persecuting and killing Christians because he was so sure they were wrong. Then, Jesus knocked him off of his (high) horse (literally) and said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" (Acts...

Seem to me that the biggest creeps we have around our children at school are teaching the classes! But, yes, you have a point. Here's a possible solution: 1. The access could be granted to parents via a login. (UserID & Password) 2. The cameras and microphones would not be accessable to...

Why not also have all classes videoed, with Internet access, so parents could watch what goes on in their child's classroom at any time?

This is a reference to the judges of Israel who, since they exercised the divine prerogative to judge (Dt 1:17), were called “gods”; cf. Ex 21:6, besides Ps 82:6 from which the quotation comes.

A better translation from the Latin would have been "apart from the Catholic Church there is no salvation.". All who are saved, are saved through the Catholic Church, whether they are explicit members or not. The Catholic Church is different in nature from the thousands of manmade...

Rights belong to all Americans, not just "protected groups." The Marxists on the left are just using all this as another tool to create victim groups and divide our country in order to destroy it. Even the most casual of truly educated people can see this, clear as day.

If your fridge is making aloud, weird noise, check the freezer section. It may need to be defrosted. (I use a hair dryer, but need to be careful not to overdo it.) There's a fan in the freezer that will start making noise if it ices up in that part because the vents are clogged up with ice.

Well, that's a good question, and the answer has to do with common sense, I think. It has only been in the last 100 years or so that universal literacy was achievable in the world. Before that, the vast, vast majority of humanity was illiterate. If Jesus was going to make His Church and...

There are two types of "tradition" within the Bible and theology. One tradition is mere common practices, like the Jews had. The other tradition is equivalent to teaching. A closer look at 2 Thes. 2:15 shows us that Paul is talking about the latter meaning of tradition. Therefore, brothers...

Good post, great points! With the constant creation of new denominations by people personally interpreting the Bible (against St. Peter's warning in 2 Peter 1:20-21), we have to ask why. All read the Bible and claim to be enlightened by the same Holy Spirit, but come up with contrary...

Strictly speaking, the Bible is NOT the Word of God. The Word of God is not a book. It is Someone, namely Jesus Christ. The Gospel of John begins, "In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God.". St. John was speaking of Jesus Christ, not a book! Then what...

There were actually two versions of the Old Testament floating around when the Bible was compiled into one book in the late fourth century. One was Hebrew and one was Greek. Before Jesus was incarnated, there was a large contingent of Jews living in Alexandria, Egypt, as merchants. Alexandria...

While God didn't "need" these men, He indeed chose them. Even a casual reading of the Old and New Testaments will show you that God usually works through men. He doesn't come riding down on a flaming chariot do deliver His message. Refer to Luke 10:16, which says, Whoever listens to you...

Ah, Grace. So, in your opinion, Christ created a Church for nothing, and just left it to each individual to create his/her own theology? Look at Luke 10:16, that says Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”...

Christ identifies as one with His Church. Recall Acts 9:4, where Jesus knocked Saul (Paul's Hebrew name) off his horse as he was going about persecuting Christians. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? Note that Jesus didn't say...

What number would you give it, then? Certainly in the thousands. We're not just talking major denominations. We're talking small Mom-n-Pop denominations. There are many near where I live. We have many in our area like "Double Portion Church" and "Soma Church" and "New Greater Hope Church."...

Grace, simple question. IF God's Word (I'm assuming you mean the Bible) were so clear, then explain why there are literally tens of thousands of different-believing, man-made denominations, all reading the same Bible and coming up with contradictory doctrines? That doesn't support clarity at all.

Translations are not infallible, and most translations have errors, due to complexity of languages and how they are used in a particular culture at the time. Adding fuel to the fire, most people reading a translation have absolutely no training in culture or how language was used at the time it...
