Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work
Stop trying to "win" arguments. Seriously. If your goal in Catholic apologetics is to walk away with a metaphorical trophy and a digital "mic drop" while the other person feels like a theological floor mat, you’ve already lost. I’ve been a catechist for over 20 years. I’ve seen every "gotcha" question in the book, from […]
The Big Bang Theory Was a Catholic Priest’s Idea (And Other Science Facts to Ruin a Skeptic’s Day)
"The Church is the enemy of science." It’s the slogan of the modern skeptic, usually shouted from the digital rooftops by someone whose last interaction with physics was a C-minus in high school and a three-hour YouTube marathon of "debunking" videos. It’s a comfortable narrative. It’s clean. It’s convenient. It’s also completely wrong. Yes, and […]

When faith and critical thinking collide, it’s not just about winning a debate—it’s about opening doors to deeper truth. Godlogic’s approach shows how persistence, honest questions, and appeals to reason can challenge even the strongest convictions, reminding readers that every theology must withstand close scrutiny.
Beyond the Verse: What Protestants and Catholics Overlook About the Bible’s Origins
You’ll never look at a Bible’s table of contents the same way again: Protestants and Catholics alike accept things about the Bible that aren’t written in scripture. For Catholics, that’s no scandal—tradition and Church authority are part of the story. If you’re ever hit with a “show-me-a-verse” challenge, remember: sometimes the answer isn’t in a verse at all.

Restoring Love: One Man’s Antidote to Pornography
I’ve been cautiously encouraged by some recent posts on GirlsAskGuys (I’ve mentioned them before). In the last few weeks, I’ve seen an upsurge in posts about pornography. Two were from male users asking how to stop. One even identified himself as an atheist. It’s not enough to simply point out the harm that porn can […]
Gutenberg’s Contraption And The Nostrum of Sola Scriptura
At the end of the 15th century, mankind was hit with an invention that did more to shape culture, life and education over the next 500 years than any advancement prior, and arguably more than all other advancements combined.

The Westboro Baptists,The Rainbow House, And The Chariot of Orthodoxy
Confessions: I am a Topekan. It’s a pretty good city, all things considered. Not the best, by far, but good. I’ve grown up “in the shadow” of the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) all of my life. -They’ve picketed my Church (“Sodomite Fag Priests Burn In Hell,” apparently) -They’ve picketed my High School (“Sodomite School News […]
“Hallowed Be Thy Name”: Reverence and Respect for God’s Name
I’ll establish some light-hearted context by noting a few of my pet peeves with grammar and punctuation. 1) I can’t stand when people mix “your” and “you’re” up. 2) If you want to make something plural, even if it’s an acronym, you DON’T put an apostrophe, i.e., you wouldn’t write “We should go get a few beer’s tonight.” […]
So Long As They’re Dead…
Francis J. Beckwith describes the process of being invited, and then dis-invited, to write a piece in honor of a distinguished academic and evangelical friend for festschrift, which was being compiled by some folks in conjunction with the appropriately named Moody Publishers. Several days later, however, the editors informed me that the publisher had forced them […]
Biblical Evidence that Mary DIDN’T Have Marital Relations With Joseph
Mary is Ever Virgin – In Scripture Exodus 13:2,12 – Jesus is sometimes referred to as the “first-born” son of Mary. But “first-born” is a common Jewish expression meaning the first child to open the womb. It has nothing to do the mother having future children. Exodus 34:20 – under the Mosaic law, the “first-born” […]
