Stories like this are sobering reminders of the abuse of power wielded by the Roman Catholic Church throughout the Middle Ages and even into the Enlightenment. Men like Jan Hus, John Wycliffe, and later Don Carlos de Sesa stood for truth against ecclesiastical tyranny: and paid

That claim falls apart the moment you open history and Scripture side by side. If the Roman Church has “never changed dogma,” then explain how she condemned what she once taught and teaches what she once condemned. The early Church Fathers never prayed to Mary, never called her

The United States was founded and built upon distinctly Protestant Christian principles and values. The evidence of this runs deep in our history—spanning our laws, institutions, and moral vision. See below to understand why this claim is both historically and theologically

The doctrine of the Trinity has always been a stumbling block to many, yet without it, there is no Christianity. The triune God is not a side belief but the very foundation of the faith. To deny the Trinity is not to differ in opinion; it is to believe in another god entirely.

Roman Catholicism adds to the revealed and inspired Word of God—contained in the closed canon of Scripture—through its ever-evolving notion of a “living sacred tradition.” In doing so, it distorts God’s truth and replaces divine revelation with man-made authority.

Tim Kauffman raises an important point. Although I find his tone sharp, the substance of his argument deserves consideration. The issue here is much more than Eucharistic symbolism; it’s about authority and coherence. In Jesus of Nazareth, Vol. 2, Pope Benedict XVI acknowledges

Once you say Scripture is the final authority but only with the Church (of Rome) as its interpreter, you’ve made the Church—not Scripture—the ultimate authority. That’s not sola Scriptura; it’s sola ecclesia. And if Rome decides all truth, why read the Bible at all? But then

This story is a Roman Catholic myth, not biblical or church history. There’s no scriptural or historical evidence that Mary ever appeared to James, let alone by bilocation. The tale of Our Lady of the Pillar was written centuries after the apostles, part of Spain’s later Catholic

Here is a Roman Catholic convert trying to equate Protestant remembrance of the deceased with Catholic veneration. But, his experience as a pastor is colored by viewing Protestant practice through the distorted lens of a Catholic convert. Protestants honor the memory of the dead,

Catholics love to quote 2 Thess 2:15 to be critical of sola Scriptura. However, they cannot give you any oral traditions allegedly passed down from an apostle that meets the early church’s threefold test for recognizing Scripture as inspired: 1.Apostolic origin (traced directly

The reflections of Joshua Charles on St. Prosper of Aquitaine’s The Call of All Nations and Defense of St. Augustineare thought-provoking. His excitement is easy to appreciate; Prosper was brilliant, clear, scriptural, and grounded in Augustine’s conviction that salvation is all

Apostolic Succession was an Evolution of Church Governance that started in the 2nd Century; Not an Inheritance from the Apostles. The idea that the apostles personally established a three-tier hierarchy of bishops, presbyters, and deacons with a continuous line of episcopal

I am thankful for RCs like Kevin who are willing to be honest with the data on these two points: 1) Icon veneration does not go back to the apostles. 2) The bishops at Nicaea II clearly claimed it did. Here's why this is a deal breaker for us Protestants, though. 1/13 🧵🧵

Jerome vs. Rome: An Exposition on Succession and Hierarchy. Few Fathers puncture the myth of a divinely instituted, top-down episcopate more cleanly than Jerome. He says the churches were first “governed by the common counsel of the presbyters,” and only later, when faction

Here’s the Catholic apologist Jimmy Akin arguing that the Roman Church actually teaches sola fide—salvation by faith alone—when “rightly understood,” meaning a faith that is never apart from works of charity. It’s nice to know that after 500 years, Rome is finally ready to

I don’t know who Val is, but to publicly solicit potential vile comments about saving Joe Biden life, when he is struggling with prostate cancer and dementia, is not Christian and does not reflect conservative values.
