Election Fraud: Conspiracy or Valid Concern? (vs. S. Greydanus)
Last updated on: December 10, 2020 at 3:18 pm By Dave Armstrong
Deacon Steven D. Greydanus stopped by my Facebook page to discuss this a bit. In 2016 he lost a $100 bet with me over the election (so did Sam Rocha). Steven’s words will be in blue. ***** (If only I coulda bet you this year…) Well, one disputes a bet on a poker game when it’s discovered that the opponent is cheating . . . I would have / will abide by the Supreme Court’s decision, if it gets to that.... Read more

Kwasniewski vs. Pope Francis Re “Fundamentalism”
Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 3:38 pm By Dave Armstrong
Pope St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI Fully Concur with Pope Francis Dr. Peter Kwasniewski is a radical Catholic reactionary writer and speaker. His words will be in blue. Pope Francis’ words will be in green. ***** In his article, “Catholics who hold fast to truths of faith are now condemned as ‘fundamentalists’” (LifeSite, 11-28-18), Dr. Kwasniewski attempts to argue that Pope Francis uses the term “fundamentalism / -ist” in a despicable way, to describe Catholics who are simply faithful, obedient, and...

Seidensticker Folly #66: Biblical “Evidence-Less Faith”?
Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 12:32 pm By Dave Armstrong
Atheist and anti-theist Bob Seidensticker runs the influential Cross Examined blog. He asked me there, on 8-11-18: “I’ve got 1000+ posts here attacking your worldview. You just going to let that stand? Or could you present a helpful new perspective that I’ve ignored on one or two of those posts?” He added in June 2017 in a combox: “If I’ve misunderstood the Christian position or Christian arguments, point that out. Show me where I’ve mischaracterized them.” Delighted to oblige his wishes . . . Bob (for the record) virtually begged and pleaded with... Read more

John Lennon: Christian Right Before His Death?
Last updated on: June 5, 2026 at 11:57 pm By Dave Armstrong
John Lennon was murdered forty years ago today. This is an article I first uploaded on 27 March 2007. I am bringing it back to my blog today (modified slightly), to mark the sad occasion. It also offers an opportunity to briefly “preach the gospel” (I am an apologist and evangelist, after all) and ask readers to seriously ponder their status with Jesus — Who is God –, and their eternal fate. ***** I thought I knew just about everything...

Skojec & Cronies “Refute” My Analyses of Reactionaries?
Last updated on: December 9, 2020 at 12:32 pm By Dave Armstrong
[all quotations from my pseudo-“critics” are from Twitter] Steve Skojec (Oct 21): I’m super duper looking forward to watching Catholic theologians and apologists making excuses for this over the next week. It’s going to be yet another strong showing for the Technical Justification Squad. This was the controversy over same-sex civil unions, which has now been thoroughly covered by several people. Here was my article on it: * Pope Francis, Same-Sex Unions, & Chicken Little Mass Hysteria (10-22-20) It... Read more

Anti-Theist Atheist Snobfest & Insult Extravaganza
Last updated on: December 7, 2020 at 8:28 pm By Dave Armstrong
If it’s happened once, it has happened 25 times: 1) Atheist comes to my blog. 2) Atheist seems intelligent and amiable enough, so I engage in discussion, unassuming and in good faith. 3) Atheist gets honestly disagreed with . . . 4) Atheist then makes it crystal-clear that he or she has zero interest in a dialogue, where there are any disagreements, or (horror of horrors!) where they might even actually (gasp!!!) be shown to be wrong about anything having...

Peter Kwasniewski: Gotta Exorcise Vatican I (1870)
Last updated on: June 5, 2026 at 11:57 pm By Dave Armstrong
Dr. Peter Kwasniewski is a radical Catholic reactionary writer and speaker. His words will be in blue. ***** “What shall we do about Vatican I?” This past Sunday, December 8, marked the 150th anniversary of the opening of a council that would forever change the way Catholics perceived and interacted with the papacy — the impetus for a runaway hyperpapalism capable of leveling centuries of tradition. In many ways, we are more threatened today by the spirit of Vatican I, which it will take a mighty... Read more

Kwasniewski vs. Cdl. Newman Re Pope- & Council-Bashing
Last updated on: June 6, 2026 at 12:43 am By Dave Armstrong
Dr. Peter Kwasniewski is a radical Catholic reactionary writer and speaker. I am replying to his article, “Pope Francis to canonize a cardinal who criticized a Vatican Council and hoped for ‘another pope’” (Lifesite News, 3-12-19). His words will be in blue; those of St. John Henry Cardinal Newman in green. ***** Newman was anxious about such corruption taking place at the First Vatican Council concerning the proposed definition of papal infallibility—a belief on which he thought the less said,...

“Amadeus” & Historical Accuracy in Biopics
Last updated on: June 5, 2026 at 11:57 pm By Dave Armstrong
I got into an intense discussion with a friend of mine, thus stimulating these thoughts of mine that express a pet peeve that has bothered me since as long as I can remember. I include only my own portion (edited for the purpose of this article). ***** — Spoiler alert for those who haven’t seen Amadeus: a film about the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. — I like movies that are true to the facts, if they are based on actual...

Pastor Aeternus (1870): Can a Pope Ever Make Heresy Binding?
Last updated on: March 8, 2024 at 1:05 am By Dave Armstrong
Dr. Robert Fastiggi and Ron Conte; edited by Dave Armstrong, in Response to Timothy Flanders This is an excerpt from my much longer paper, Dialogue #7 w 1P5 Columnist Timothy Flanders (Highlighting Papal Indefectibility, Pastor Aeternus from Vatican I in 1870, & the “Charitable Anathema”) [12-1-20]. Timothy Flanders’ words will be in blue. ***** Did Vatican I Dogmatize Pighius? You have countered my assertions by stating that any concept of error contained in a Magisterial Act is contrary to the First Vatican Council which... Read more
