A commenter on my post “Other sheep have I?” noted, correctly, that it’s not a good thing to call people names. And that we should, rather, refute any false gospel. He’s right, to a point. It is most important to cite what we believe, and ground it in Scripture. [...]

I was first Roman Catholic before I was a Protestant. But please don’t take any criticisms I may aim at the Roman Church to be in any way, shape, or form, my trying to get some sort of revenge.
No; not revenge. In many ways, deep down, I remain Catholic, even though [...]

A little David Pryce-Jones this Good Friday. His subject is the unsurprising fact that Islam can not coexist in peace with other faiths. He provides his insights in the context of a visit this week to Israel, to walk in the footsteps of Jesus on the Via Dolorosa.

Most of us, when looking into the face of evil, tend to avert our gaze, and either pretend that evil is not there, or forget that it was there. A recently published book, “Fear: Anti-Semitism in Poland After Auschwitz” reminds us that mankind remains capable of unspeakable evil.
