Yesterday and today in Bombay I talked about Mary’s visit to Ein Kerem where she visited her relative Elizabeth. We just visited Ein Kerem again with our group a week ago. Here we pray the 2nd Joyful Mystery of the Rosary and I explain St. Luke’s incredibly insightful description of this event. Since you will [...]

Today we are in Nazareth, celebrating Mass at the Grotto of the Annunciation. These pictures are over a hundred years old from Nazareth. Not much changed between then and the first century. When you look at these old pictures and hundreds more I have in a book I purchased in Nazareth (written in Arabic), you [...]

The Bible says, “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim 2:5). Yet Catholics refer to Mary as a Mediatrix (feminine form of the word mediator). So, isn’t that prima facie evidence that Catholics make up doctrines, worship Mary and disregard the Bible? [...]

If you would to hear a debate on Mary, you can click here (it takes a few minutes to download.) I thought William Albrecht did a great job of presenting the Catholic case and ably defending the Catholic understanding of Mary. The Protestant “TurretinFan” takes such a minimalist position that it is difficult to expose [...]

Since we are having Mass at Mary’s House today in Ephesus, I thought I would share this article. When I was an Evangelical I never recall hearing a sermon on Mary. To do so would put the pastor in danger of becoming a bit “Catholic.” But, I hope those days are changing. Here is an [...]

The following is a link to videos of all of the talks from the Totus Tuus 2010 Family Conference that centered on St. Joseph. Enjoy the talks. One of the attendees said, “The speakers brought out a lot of good insights into St. Joseph that I had never heard before, and all of the videos [...]

This time we will talk about the last half of Mary’s life including Cana, Calvary, Pentecost and her Assumption and Queenship. (Picture: Statue in Nazareth of the pregnant Mary of Nazareth.) Cana was a [...]

How many of you have a scroll on your desk entitled The Protoevangelium of James? You don’t! Why not? If you were a Christian in the first centuries of the Church you would probably have a copy, or had read it — or rather, had it read to you. The Protoevangelium of James is the [...]

I recently received an e-mail. How would you answer this question? Now if I could get past Jeremiah, chapter 44, I’d really be a happy camper, (LOL). Stumbled on that passage this morning and wondered about the “Queen of Heaven” that the people of Judah were burning incense to. God sure was mad! Who was this [...]

My friend Marwil from the Philippines is a great apologist and has offered to debate Marian Devotion. He would explain and defend the proposition that Marian Devotion is biblical. If you know a Protestant who would like to take Marwil up his challenge have them visit my Facebook wall at http://www.facebook.com/jerusalemjones

In the early 2nd century the early Church held a document in very high regard. From this document we learn about the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her own birth. Since today is the Feast Day of Joachim and Anna, I thought I would provide a link to the Protoevangelium of James so [...]

I was confronted with an interesting argument against Mary’s perpetual virginity. The man argued that the Bible itself proves that Mary had other children. He claimed that Jesus expressly states in no uncertain terms that his mother had other sons. He said it must have been overlooked by the Catholic Church. To read my whole response, [...]

Just ran 4 miles in 35 minutes and now on my way to Jackson Michigan (actually, Michigan City nearby) to speak at 7 PM. The topic of my talk is a virtual tour of the life of Mary based on my many travels to the Holy Land and my research to understand Mary and the [...]

William Albrecht is a convert to the Catholic faith that has taken part in a number of debates. If you like to listen to such debates, in which the Catholic faith is vindicated, check out the audio links below. DOES THE NEW TESTAMENT TEACH VENERATION OF MARY? MARY: MOTHER OF GOD? PERPETUAL VIRGINITY OF MARY [...]
