IntenseDebate plugin uninstalled

8 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

Well, after a trial of a couple of weeks, I have uninstalled the IntenseDebate plugin. It had some nice added functionality for the comment page, but was buggy. It slowed the blog down, a fact admitted on the FAQ section of the IntenseDebate website. Also, despite choosing to only need to approve a person once, […]

Radical Reformers, the ancestors of today’s progressive/liberal Christians?

7 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 7 Comments

Were the Radical Reformers, by their philosophical attitudes, the ancestors of today’s progressive/liberal Christians? Or, to put it in more Francis Schaeffer type of writing, were the Radical Reformers the continuation of a philosophical trail that led to today’s progressive/liberal hermeneutic? [Note: There is a difference between the Reformers and the Radical Reformers.] I already […]

Francis Schaeffer helped lead me to Orthodoxy

6 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

In an earlier post I commented that it was because of Francis Schaeffer that I came to love philosophy. Now, by the time I first returned to the Lord, I had already had a course in college philosophy. Frankly, I had found it boring and received a D in it. But, Francis was different. I […]

The most unexpected award of 2008

5 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Well, I have just finally read what I consider the Most Unexpected Award of 2008. Yes, this award came out of left-field for me. I must admit that, at first, I wondered whether it was a serious award or whether someone was pulling my leg. But, I duly went to the internet site and you […]

How I stopped being a culture warrior

3 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

On a recent post on Frank Schaeffer, the son of the famed Francis Schaeffer, I posted the reply below as part of my reminiscences about Francis Schaeffer and becoming a culture warrior. As I have re-read it, I realize that it is, of course, incomplete. But, perhaps I will post it here as well, and […]

More about Christians fleeing Iraq

2 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 6 Comments

OK, so you are wondering where that 600,000 Christians fleeing Iraq comes from? Well, that is our official government figure! It is not made up. It does not come from some “liberal” website. It is from the U.S. International Commission on Religious Freedom, a body appointed by the USA Congress. If the Christians leaving can […]

But, Holy Tradition does exist

1 January 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 7 Comments

I was fortunate to have a theological professor who pointed out that every decision of an ecumenical council, whether dogmatic or disciplinary was introduced by words similar to those found in Acts 15, that is, it seemed good to us and to the Holy Spirit, with the addition of a phrase about being in accord […]
