by | Nov 12, 2022 | , , , | 0 |

Who Says the Mass is a Sacrifice? Since we are having Mass in Capernaum, at the very place Jesus said, “Eat My Flesh and Drink My Blood”, I thought I would share my short study about the Mass as a real sacrifice. Jimmy Swaggart (made a foolish and unhistorical claim): The Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation […]

The Cross and the Crucifix: A Study in their meaning and usage (responding to a Protestant)

by | Nov 8, 2022 | , , , , , | 0 |

Since today we are at the place in the Jordan where the children of Israel made a bronze serpent — seemingly in contradiction to the command of God to make no images — I thought it good to share this letter I sent to a Protestant friend a while back. Dear Protestant Friend: You display […]

Did Jesus Contradict the Old Testament’s Prohibition on Drinking Blood?

Leonard Alt debates an anti-Catholic named Phil. He writes: I have a choice: I can listen to the Evangelicals who confuse the blood of animals, with the blood of Christ and choose not to eat the Flesh and drink the Blood of Christ, or, I can listen to Jesus who said; “Whoever eats my flesh […]

Why Can’t Evangelicals See the Eucharist?

by | Jun 21, 2022 | , , , | 0 |

I was recently asked why Evangelicals cannot see the Eucharist and Real Presence in the Bible. This person said that when they read the Bible it seems so clear — especially John 6 where Jesus says “Unless you eat My Flesh and drink my Blood . . .” and at the Last Supper when he said, […]

My wife and I recently went to confession. The line was pretty long (which was good to see, though I hate lines 🙂  As I sat and waited it struck me again that the Church is not just a loose association of like-minded followers of Jesus. It is not just “Jesus and me” as we […]

Was Baptism Instituted Before or After Jesus’ Death and Resurrection?

by | Mar 25, 2022 | , | 0 |

The other day a friend wrote and asked a question. It was an interesting question. “Is the answer to this that in the earlier examples, only the disciples did the baptizing and John is using a Hebraic figure of speech such that his disciples did them in his name and by his authority? If so, […]

Infant Baptism

by | Feb 1, 2022 | , , | 0 |

Infant Baptism is discussed and argued about quite a bit in some circles. I was raised Baptist and taught that Infant Baptism was a man-made tradition invented by the heretical Catholics who abandoned the Word of God to follow ill-advised tradition. (Picture: My granddaughter Elizabeth Arabella Rose Ray is baptized.) But not all Protestants reject Infant […]
