Sippo vs Lortz Revisted. Interview with Ratzinger

A few years back when traffic not yet been noticeable on my site, I picked a fight with Catholic apologist Dr. Art Sippo.


Right now, Dave Armstrong is on vacation, so he won't be responding to my desperate call for attention.  Steve Ray, hardly if ever actually responds to my proddings, so i'm reverting to the one Dr. Art Sippo. Will he respond and help drive traffic? Only time will tell. If he does not responding i will spam link my site on Aomin and various other Roman forums, where i troll.


At issue is Romanichean theologian -Cardinal Ratzinger- who whole heartedly approved both Luther, and Luther-scholarship-improver-extraordinaire, Joseph Lortz.  My sources have confirmed that Ratzinger has joined the FBI witness protection program and goes by the italian name Papa Benedetto. 

Aomin caught up with Ratzinger for a few quick questions

Aomin: Cardinal Ratzinger, you previously endorsed Joseph Lortz assessement of Luther

C. Ratzinger: How so?

Aomin: You said in an interview a few years ago, and i quote "J. Lortz from Luxembourg became the father of modern Catholic Luther scholarship. He is still considered the turning-point in the struggle for an historically truthful and theologically adequate image of Luther. Against the background of the theological movement between the two world wars, Lortz could develop new ways of questioning which, subsequently, would lead to a new assessment of Luther." 

C. Ratzinger: Where in the sentence is there an endorsement?  I was explaing how Lortz's reassement had become a turning point, his way of questioning and thing of the sort, are viewed by some schorlars. I by no means claimed it  as a majority view point,or the most accurate.  If you look at my quote in context,you would see that what you claim is not what i did. In other words,  in an effort to get a historically truthfull, theological adequate  image of Luther, Joseph Lortz scholarship shoud be part of a kerygma of work that should be consulted.

Aomin: Now you are backpedalling


C. Ratzinger: Don't distort my sentences, lest haply you should be anathemized buddy.

Exegeting James 2:24 The Calvinist Way

Romish apoligists usually try to use to use James 2:24 to brow beat Calvinists and other protestants when it comes to important doctrine of Sola Fide.  But Romanish interpretations need not scare you. When i say "you" ,  i mean Calvinists, Lutherans,  Musli...er..em..i mean non-Catholics.  Let us carefully look at the passage in James 2:24 (ESV):

"You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone."

Romanian apologist apparently want us to think that the words "not by faith alone" somehow,  means "not by faith alone." But this is pure eisigesis.  Romanificators teach a false gospel of works salvation.  Let us now exegete the passage the way Luther did, and how his modern equivalent Dr. James White has also.

Luther rightly took the whole of....well i've just got bitten by a snake, will have to exegete at a later time.

Update: Luckily it was a toy snake, Pheeww! For a moment there i thought i would have to forsake blogging,  but i'm not in an exegetical mood right now, will move on to bigger and better things.
