World Will End Next Year

by Steve Ray on September 2, 2010

You might want to mark this date on your calendar http://www.familyradio.com/portal-en.htm/ just so you don’t schedule any important events after the end of the world has come :-) Seriously, it’s always amazing that there are people gullible enough to follow such nut cases in the wake of innumerable false predictions over the last 2,000 years.

Protestant Sexual Abuse

by Steve Ray on May 27, 2010

The media would like us to think that sexual abuse in churches is a Catholic problem. It is not. The Catholic Church has had its problems over the last few decades with much of it being exposed in the last few years. But the problem is not a Catholic problem — in fact it is [...]

Why are some ex-Catholics so hateful?

by Steve Ray on May 24, 2010

I was asked recently why some ex-Catholics and anti-Catholics are so hateful and mean — why they display such fierce opposition to the Church. Of course, not all ex-Catholics are that way, but a good number are. When I was an anti-Catholic I did not consider Catholics to be Christians. They were heretics. I thought [...]

St. Paul did NOT Write for Us!

by Steve Ray on May 17, 2010

When arguments about salvation arise between Catholics and Protestants, the Bibles are usually opened to Galatians and Romans. Are we saved by faith alone or are works involved?

The Pope, the Devil & the Death Cookie

by Steve Ray on March 6, 2010

Believe it or not but there is a Protestant “Gospel Tract” out there that says the Eucharist is a “death cookie” that was the result of conspiring between the Devil and the Pope to deceive and send Catholics to hell. It is a Chick tract. I am embarrassed to say that I used to hand [...]

The Beauty of NOT having a Magisterium…

by Steve Ray on April 8, 2009

… is that you don’t have to have any solid positions, morals, or theology. You can waffle and change your mind. God has no opinion (obviously, or so think many) so you don’t have to worry about what He might think. Rick Warren is such a pastor and has now disavowed his opposition to the [...]
