Should a Christian Vote for a Pro-Choice Candidate?

Before the election, I had the honor of visiting with my good friend, Matt Graham, on the Rational Animal Podcast. We discussed the role of abortion in the 2024 presidential election. Given the outcome of the election, it appears most American Catholics agreed with me that Harris’ extreme abortion views barred her from the Catholic vote. For more on that reality, please click here. Please take a listen. Feel free to comment. Thank you. Click here to listen. Read more

Kamala Harris lost big in 2024. She not only lost the electoral college, but she also lost the popular vote. As of November 10, 2024, Donold J. Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote by over 3.5 million votes. A major factor contributing to the Harris loss, the Catholic vote, witnessed Catholics supporting Trump in droves. According to Tyler Arnold at Catholic News Agency, the exit polls showed: According to the Washington Post’s exit poll, Trump won the... Read more

Bigotry, Racism, & Fascism Did Not Win in the 2024 Election

Last updated on: November 7, 2024 at 2:16 pm By Dennis Knapp

Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States, now holds the rare distinction of also being the 47th. As a conservate Catholic, Trump’s victory provides me with hope that most Americans (as Trump won the popular vote) do not buying into the Leftist narrative that Trump (and conservates in general) represent American bigotry, racism, and fascism. That the Harris campaign turned to this rhetoric during the final days shows how desperate Democrats were to win in 2024. By... Read more

3 Reasons Faith Alone is NOT the Gospel and Luther was Wrong

Last updated on: November 14, 2024 at 1:32 pm By Dennis Knapp

In 1532, former Catholic monk Martin Luther made the following claim regarding the Protestant doctrine known as faith alone (sola fide) in his commentary on Psalm 130:4: When it stands by this article, the church stands, when [this article] falls the church falls. To anyone well versed in the Scriptures, this statement of the Church standing or falling brings up Jesus’ promise to His disciples in Matthew 16:18: And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock, I...

Yes, Definitions Matter in All Discussions on Abortion

Last updated on: October 26, 2024 at 3:51 pm By Dennis Knapp

Recently, I wrote a couple of articles expressing my views on politics and abortion. Specifically, how Vice President Kamala Harris’ extreme views on abortion bar all faithful Christians, Catholics or not, from voting for her. Whereas the seamless garment argument may apply to Democrats of the past, it no longer applies to Democrats in the present. Furthermore, for faithful Catholics, the United States Conference of Bishops released an official statement advising US Catholic voters to Protect Children in Law and... Read more

Is the Vatican Anti-Semitic or Tone-Deaf?

Guest writer: Pilgrim. Introduction Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, Israel and the Vatican have been at odds. Israel has objected to what it sees as the Vatican’s false moral equivalence between terrorist aggression and Israel’s right to self-defence. The Vatican has complained of a “disproportionate” Israeli response which puts innocents at risk and threatens to ignite a wider regional or even global conflagration. Pope Francis wrote to the Jewish population of Israel in February 2024 condemning all forms... Read more

As I write this, less than twenty-three days remain until election day. The polls appear closer than ever between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump. In my last article, I shared the statement from USCCB regarding the upcoming election and offered some needed guidance on how faithful Catholics ought to vote. For this article, I address those Catholics who would attempt an appeal to the seamless garment to justify voting for candidates who support abortion and... Read more

USCCB: Vote to Protect Children in Law and Against Abortion

Last updated on: October 13, 2024 at 1:42 pm By Dennis Knapp

In anticipation of the coming election in November and October’s Respect Life Month, the chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Pro-Life Activities, Bishop Michael F. Burbidge, released a much-needed statement. In the statement, the bishop provides US Catholics with council and catechesis in preparation for elections held on November 5th. In ten states, abortion appears on the ballet. Catholics (and other Christians) WILL determine the destiny of countless unborn human lives. Furthermore, at the national level, abortion also takes centerstage... Read more

Closing Statement: Who Defines and Who Submits?

Again, thanks to Eric for taking the time to discuss this important topic with me. In closing out our dialogue, I need to make things perfectly clear regarding what I did not argue for or against. I did not argue that a correct biblical interpretation is impossible. A proper hermeneutic and the Holy Spirit can provide an individual with a correct understanding of the Bible. Furthermore, I did not argue that the Pope maintains infallibility in all his biblical interpretations,... Read more
