Once you know what the Roman Catholic Axiom is, it is often quite easy to identify its use: But sometimes it can be a bit tricky to unpack in complex arguments. There is the Roman Catholic Axiom—sola ecclesia—right there in bold, and it is quite revealing. Let’s see how Angelo …
The Roman Catholic Axiom can be defined in various ways. Here are a few: All of these formulations point to the authority of the Roman Catholic church to claim that what it teaches now is correct, apostolic, and testified to by the apostles in unbroken succession backwards through time, either by …
Since all the Roman Catholic readers of this blog have, for months now, abandoned it—or just stopped commenting—I’ve, instead, been having a series of discussions with more willing Roman Catholics on Twitter. One recent conversation can be found here. There, Michael—a married Roman Catholic from NYC with two children—sent me …
