Why This New Papal Busters Blog Would Better Engage in Debate with REAL Catholic Scholars, Not Catholic FAKE Defenders
Back then, I remember arguing with almost everyone rather than selecting my battles. However, as I grew in the Christian faith, I would now refer to analyzing fallen humanity's problem TULIP, with the problem of humanity's Total Depravity, which means that they couldn't discover saving grace, without God's intervention. Now, I found that the best way to engage in a debate is to focus and invest in scholarly methods.
Back in the late 2000s, I was too focused on the arguments of Fr. Abraham Arganiosa of the Splendor of the Church blog. I'm wondering what happened to their official website. It's really a huge slum, with the way that these die-hard Filipino Catholic fanatics write stuff. Many of them still live like it's the First Vatican Council. Please, it's already the Second Vatican Council! Arganiosa and company are known for their unprofessional language. It's pretty much akin to Steven Anderson's unprofessional behavior.
Why do you think Pastor James White, my fellow Papal Buster (again, Papal Busters isn't a formal organization), is actually careful of who he invites to a debate? The debate with White and Iglesia Ni Cristo minister Jose Ventilacio was just one. Ventilacion showed much more professionalism than the INC ministers, who threatened to do physical harm. Ventilacion didn't threaten violence while he spoke his piece. I don't think White would invite the Catholic fake defenders of the Philippines. I could see the professional behavior done by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, in contrast to Arganiosa. Pacwa and company have been professional in all their debates.
As I read through the arguments of Catholic Answers, they are far more organized and decently written, in contrast to Splendor of the Church website. A lot of members of Arganiosa's site are unruly, which they also break this principle...
Taylor Marshall remains professional in defending Catholicism. Brian Mercier of Catholic Truth official remains professional in defending Catholicism. However, the Catholic fake defenders just misbehave, throw insults, purposely irritate you, or even resort to violence, just to make a point.
When it comes to a discussion, it's important to choose the right opponent for a debate. Otherwise, it can go around in circles for too long. The mission is to share the Gospel, not to argue about it. The important thing is they've heard the Gospel.
