This kind of 'human brain' is a useful tool for many people in their daily lives. To test this tool,...

[Catholic Caucus] Prof. de Mattei's defence of Francis' legitimacy fails—here's whyOn 25th September 2024, Voice of the Family published an article by the historian Professor Roberto de Mattei, entitled “On the problem of the heretical pope.”This article defends Francis’ claim to the papacy, which de Mattei argues continues to be legitimate in spite of the three heretical comments made recently about false religions.1For reasons discussed elsewhere, these comments arguably constitute apostasy.In my opinion, writing in defence of Francis’ claim at this point is a serious misuse of time and energy. Nonetheless, in this piece, we shall analyse de Mattei’s article...

We need such “occasions to speak with one another...

Pope Francis’ “All Religions” Discourse Was An Attack On Christ’s DivinityPope Francis’ recent comments during an interreligious meeting with young people at Catholic Junior College in Singapore regarding the smorgasbord of different “paths to reach God” – “[s]ome Sikh, some Muslim, some Hindu, some Christian” – encapsulate the poisonous ideology that has permeated the Catholic Church over the past several decades. It has seeped into the pulpits, seminaries, and classrooms, corrupting the Church Militant. Whether as converts or cradle Catholics, many of us were infused, at some point, with this pernicious, any-road-up-the-mountain toxin.It is certainly not the first time Francis...

‘Is the Pope a Catholic?’ The rhetorical question that’s losing axiomatic power(Pope Francis kisses the hand of the Grand Imam of Istiqlal Mosque Nasaruddin Umar after an interreligious meeting with religious leaders at the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta on September 5, 2024.) “Is the Pope a Catholic?” is old and well-used rhetorical repartee. It doesn’t require and answer. Or it didn’t until recently.After Pope’s Francis recent remarks about inter-religious dialogue in Singapore, theologians and laity are questioning whether what he said was authentically Catholic.As so often, when the Pope shoots from the hip, he causes either excitement or chaos depending...

[Catholic Caucus] Fr. Murray: Pope’s claim that ‘every religion’ is a way to God contradicts ‘Christ Himself’The priest and canon lawyer said that 'the impression given to people is that Catholicism is not serious anymore about converting everybody, but in fact that’s the central mission.'Renowned canon lawyer Father Gerald Murray denounced Pope Francis’ claim that “every religion is a way to arrive at God” as “contradictory to what Christ himself said.”“Jesus Christ said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,’ and the Church teaches that there is only salvation in Christ,” Fr. Murray said during an appearance on...

[Catholic Caucus] Bishop Strickland: Pope Francis’ comments on all religions being paths to God are ‘heresy’I have often expressed my deep concern regarding heresy and the atmosphere of apostasy as it emanates from the Vatican, but I must now ask: ‘Where is the outcry of the shepherds? Where is the courage and conviction to defend our faith?’Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,“We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee, because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.” This familiar prayer offered as part of the Stations of the Cross is familiar to Catholics, and well it should...

Pilgrim Lutheran Church in St Paul, MN, is a trainwreck of a congregation. Led by impastor Jen Rome, they are an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) congregation that exemplifies all the most heretical parts of the denomination. Notably, a recent article by RNS identified this as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s (who is Kamala Harris’ radical Vice President pick) denomination and parish. The church, which checks off all the usual pro-choice/ pro-LGBTQ boxes, uses the “Inclusive Bible” for all scripture readings and say they are committed to: * Antiracism work, de-centering whiteness, and making reparations for race violence * LGBTQIA+...

In the book of Jeremiah, we are reminded of the dangers of people pretending to speak for God when, in fact, they are spreading lies. Jeremiah 14:14: “The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries, and the delusions of their own minds.”

This street preacher is preaching at a church sponsored pride event. Not sure which church sponsored it. Only that one women who said she had a Doctorate in Theology came out and spoke to the preacher for all of the video. Others joined in either being rude or talking religion and warping it to fit their views.

Chuck Parry is the Director of Healing Ministries at Bethel Church in Redding, California, and one of the primary teacher of the schools. According to his bio, his life is “marked by both faith and the miraculous” and he’s “seen the dead raised, food multiplied, storms move out of the way, the supply of heaven released through supernatural finances, and countless people healed and their lives transformed.” Readers of Protestia will recognize him as overseeing Bethel Church’s healing schools which spent nearly two years shut down during COVID. In fact, in October of 2020, Bethel and their school had so...

“Who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” (Romans 1:32, emphasis added). According to God’s Word, it is a sin to give approval to those who practice sin. And yet consider a recent choice by the Episcopal church to change their historic church shield to incorporate the pride colors. They are actively doing what God hates by approving of sin—the sin of pride, that of man being his own god to redefine what God has defined. During our...

Paul’s warning in Galatians 6:7 is crystal clear: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” This isn’t just a gentle reminder, it’s a dire warning. If you think you can twist God’s Word and pervert His worship to fit your agenda, you’re sadly mistaken. God’s standards of holiness and righteousness are non-negotiable. Trying to reshape His eternal truths to fit today’s perverted agenda…that’s outright rebellion against His sovereign authority. Jesus also warned about those who honor Him “with their lips” but their hearts are far from Him. Yet, these people don’t even honor...

[Catholic Caucus] The Benedictine College Nuns “Leaned Into” the Vatican II Revolution to Foul Mr. Butker One of the aspects of Vatican II that its liberal defenders seem to ignore these days is the Council’s defense of freedom of conscience, especially in religious matters, as set forth in the Declaration on Religious Freedom, Dignitatis Humanae:“On his part, man perceives and acknowledges the imperatives of the divine law through the mediation of conscience. In all his activity a man is bound to follow his conscience in order that he may come to God, the end and purpose of life. It follows...

A former United Methodist Church pastor who was defrocked about 20 years ago for being in a same-sex romantic relationship has been reinstated by the mainline Protestant denomination. The UMC Eastern Pennsylvania Annual Conference voted overwhelmingly during a closed session of around 200 clergy on Tuesday evening to readmit Beth Stroud. Bishop John Schol, head of both the Eastern Pennsylvania and Greater New Jersey annual conferences, said he was “deeply grateful for the discernment of the clergy” and “grateful that the church has opened up to LGBTQ persons.” “I couldn’t be prouder as your bishop, and you couldn’t have given...
