Bigotry is blind zeal. It is not bigotry to say that a thing cannot be true if its opposite is proved to be correct. Truth must exclude error.…
A satisfactory explanation could scarcely be given, were this life all. But it is not. God permits these things only because He knows that there is a future…
The word soul here does not refer exclusively to the immortal part of man's nature. Ezechiel is pointing out that not only the sins of our parents, but…

That is not true. Non-Catholics, who are unaware of their errors and who are not subjects of the Church, do not incur the penalty of excommunication. I wonder…
God does know all. He therefore knew that they would be free, and that there was no must fall about it. There was no necessity to fall, and…
True Christian faith cannot lead one into error. We prove that God has said a thing, and believe because He has said it. Doubt would be possible only…
The appeal to the gallery in the mention of a menagerie and town, and then the omission of all names except crawlers, jumpers, and creepers, is evident. "This…
No one suggests that they are exempt from ordinary temptations. But it is not against nature to rise above these temptations. It is one thing to be tempted; quite another to yield to the temptation. Anybody could avoid sin if never tempted. But the merit and glory of a Christian is to be tempted yet […]
It is against nature to suggest that Priests are exempt from ordinary temptations. Read More »
You have entirely failed to grasp the Catholic position. There are no foreigners in the Catholic Church. A supernatural standard prevails, and natural standards are not valid. If you call the Pope a foreigner because he is an Italian by birth, whom would you put there? An Englishman? If so, on your principles, all other
So the fact remains that you must submit to a foreigner? Read More »
Bigotry is blind zeal. It is not bigotry to say that a thing cannot be true if its opposite is proved to be correct. Truth must exclude error. Radio Replies Volume 1 by Rev. Dr. Leslie Rumble MSC and Rev. Charles Mortimer Carty
You cannot deny that you are bigoted in your exclusive claims. Read More »
A satisfactory explanation could scarcely be given, were this life all. But it is not. God permits these things only because He knows that there is a future life where He will rectify and compensate all inequalities. In the meantime He draws good out of these miseries, for they teach men not to set their
Where is the justice of God, in permitting this uneven distribution? Read More »
The word soul here does not refer exclusively to the immortal part of man’s nature. Ezechiel is pointing out that not only the sins of our parents, but also each man’s own personal and individual sins deserve punishment. In verse 24 he says that, if the just man turn from his righteousness and do evil,
Ezechiel XVIII., 4, says, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Read More »
You are forgetting your own principles. We must do right always because right is right. If we do not, we shall be punished by God precisely because the right was right and we should have done it. It belongs to God to adjust all seeming inequalities in the next world, but that in no way
That is not true. Non-Catholics, who are unaware of their errors and who are not subjects of the Church, do not incur the penalty of excommunication. I wonder what you would say of St. Paul’s words, “I have already judged . . . with the power of Our Lord Jesus Christ … to deliver him
Popes think it is right to excommunicate all who do not agree with them. Read More »
God does know all. He therefore knew that they would be free, and that there was no must fall about it. There was no necessity to fall, and they could have resisted the temptation. You may say, “But they did fall, and God must have known that they would fall.” That is correct. But the
God knows all. He knew the pair must fall when He made them. Read More »
True Christian faith cannot lead one into error. We prove that God has said a thing, and believe because He has said it. Doubt would be possible only could God be deceived, or deceive mankind. But He could not. He knows all things, and is Truth itself. Also He has given abundant external signs to
Your faith may be right, but may it not be wrong? Read More »
The appeal to the gallery in the mention of a menagerie and town, and then the omission of all names except crawlers, jumpers, and creepers, is evident. “This God stood by,” is another little lapse. Ingersoll falls down on the simplest Hebraism. The whole passage means that God gave Adam a knowledge suitable to man’s
