Greetings James. I wrote two responses to you today. One was in response to your response to my sola fide article - that one is a bit more polemical. The other was in response to your questions on the Eucharist. I felt those questions were sincere and I answered in a non-combatitive way.
I will patiently await your responses to my blogs, however, I do not check your blog often - and do not have plans of visiting more often at this point. There seems to be much obsession with Luther, and I am not an anti-Lutheran apologist. So please, let me know when you've responded and/or post your responses to my blog.
I am interested in what you have to say, and very much so in answering sincere questions regarding the Catholic Faith, which is now part of my life.

Scott,
I'm extremely busy at the moment. I spend about an hour, or less on-line each day. Most of my blog entries are written over the course of a few days, and most of my other time is spent on tedium with the other blog I supervise. I just don't have time at the moment to involve myself in debates.
Frankly, if I wanted to, responding to Roman Catholics in cyberspace could be a full time job. I've often considered turning the comment section of this blog completely off, simply because I don't have the time to respond to every comment.
Thanks for stopping by, and for responding to the eucharist entry, and also the Luther entry. Eventually, I'll probably respond to Luther entry.
I'm not "obsessed" with Luther, but if you're familiar at all with my interests, you'll note that I've studied Luther for many years now, particularly the Roman Catholic understanding of Luther. It does amaze me with how often Roman Catholics mis-quote or misunderstand Luther. I will continue studying this- but if Roman Catholics would do better work on Luther, there would be a lot less for me to do, and more time to discuss purgatory and the Eucharist with you.
Hello again James. I happened by again tonight to see if you had any substantive responses to my blogs. I see that you're not ready to do so. I'll stop by here and there, but if you make a response, please let me know it's there when you post it.

Looking for an Obscure Luther Quote? Chances are if you've wound up on this site, you're looking for information on an obscure quote said to come from Martin Luther or one of the other Protestant Reformers. This blog has been compiling information on obscure Reformation quotes for over a decade. Use the search engines below to look for your particular obscure quote.
“Let nobody suppose that he has tasted the Holy Scriptures sufficiently unless he has ruled over the churches with the prophets for a hundred years. Therefore there is something wonderful, first, about John the Baptist; second, about Christ; third, about the apostles...“We are beggars. That is true.” - Martin Luther
"It is true that the best apologetics can be given only when the system of truth is well known. But it is also true that the system of truth is not well known except it be seen in its opposition to error."- Cornelius Van Til
"But a most pernicious error widely prevails that Scripture has only so much weight as is conceded to it by the consent of the church. As if the eternal and inviolable truth of God depended upon the decision of men!"- John Calvin
"The Scriptures obtain full authority among believers only when men regard them as having sprung from heaven, as if there the living words of God were heard."- John Calvin
This is the best book available on Sola Scriptura. For Protestants, it will help you understand and defend sola scriptura. For Catholics, this book will help you understand exactly what Protestants mean by sola scriptura, rather than what you think it means. I highly recommend getting this book, it never leaves my desk, and serves as a valuable reference tool.
