Does Islam Need a Luther or a Pope?
By Edward Feser 04 Dec 2003
It has become the conventional wisdom in the two years since 9/11 that the trouble with Islam is that, unlike Christianity, it never had a Protestant Reformation. The idea seems to be this: Christianity was (so it is held) rigid and authoritarian before Luther and company came along and paved the way for liberal democracy, science, and all things modern and good; Islam's problem is that it remains stuck in its &quo ... |

‘Too Christian’ for Academia?
A four-volume encyclopedia gets pulped in the name of political correctness.
By Edward Feser
Wiley-Blackwell, a major academic press, was set to release its four-volume Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization this month. According to the encyclopedia’s editor, George Thomas Kurian, the set had been copy-edited, fact-checked, proofread, publisher-approved, printed, bound, and formally launched (to high praise) at the recent American Academy of Religion/Society ... |

On The Cross
"As I have been telling you, we should take all our sorrow and place it at the Feet of Christ. Because He suffered on the Cross for our sins, and for our sorrows, and for our problems, and for all the gloom of our souls. For everything. And when you remember that the Blood of our Lord is cleansing us from everything, that is the end of it. Nothing of these exists anymore. If you take the time to think through this thoroughly, then you will understand. There are limits to wha ... |

| Purgatory. How does that work? |
The Catholic teaching of Purgatory is
one of the teachings of the Church that
many today struggle to understand. Non-
Catholics have generally rejected this
teaching, calling it unbiblical. Actually, it
is quite biblical and the biblical roots of
the teaching will be shown in this flyer.
Many Catholics however, influenced and
embarrassed by the protests of non-
Catholics have been led to downplay,
question or even reject this teaching.
The task of this reflection is to set forth

| Pope B'XVI "We Are Christians Only If We Encounter Chri |
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Today's catechesis will be dedicated to the experience
St. Paul had on the road to Damascus, commonly called
his conversion. Precisely on the road to Damascus, in the
first 30 years of the first century, and following a period
in which he persecuted the Church, the decisive moment
of Paul's life took place. Much has been written about it
and, of course, from many points of view. The fact is that
a complete turnabout took place there, a total change of
perspect ... |
| FILIOQUE |
| Quote: | FILIOQUE
The Western Fathers and three of the Greeks taught the Filioque; the whole Latin patristic tradition does, starting with Tertullian (in his Catholic period), down to Isidore of Seville, the last Father in the West, and three Eastern Fathers: Cyril of Alexandria, Didymus of Alexandria, and Epiphanius). The Greek Fathers taught "from the Father," and many of them "through the Son"; none of the Greeks taught "from the Father alone" which wa ... |
| The use and abuse of Logic. |
10 Logical falsies and their meanings.

Meaning: As one thing is invariably found with another the one must be the cause of the other.
2. post hoc ergo propter hoc = after this, therefore because of this.
Example: ‘We never had any problem with the furnace until you moved into the apartment.’
Meaning: As one thing ... |
