ChurchMouse - On Justification by Faith and Pope Benedict's Theology



churchmousec (http://churchmousec.wordpress.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Message 1, The Article on Which the Church Stands ...":

Just so!

How many of us hear anything about it these days? It's all but forgotten by many clergy.

Dr Sproul is one of the top Calvinists today -- always worth listening to, an excellent teacher and pastor.

Also appreciate your kind mention of the nouvelle theologie post -- many thanks!

GJ  - ChurchMouse (with Mouse capitalized out of deference and respect) - As you have observed, there are some Midwestern Lutheran clergy--plus a few deluded laity--who think the Article on Which the Church Stands is justification without faith and world absolution without faith.

I was pleased to see a non-Lutheran source posting on the obvious - that the Chief Article, the Master and Prince, is Justification by Faith Alone.

I was especially pleased to see you follow up on Pope Benedict's theology. The PR campaign has always painted him as conservative, but his student (my professor) knows better. Frank Fiorenza was radical enough for John Paul II to tell Notre Dame - "Get rid of liberation theology." And they did.

Roman Catholic theology is decidedly Left-wing Protestant in many respects.


Paul McCain posted this Miraculous Lactation of Mary painting on his otherwise boring blog,
but he modestly omitted his own image.
