The Curious Case of the Protestant Bible

. . .perhaps no area in Catholic-Protestant apologetics involves as many outright falsehoods as the history of the Bible.  To be sure, there are lots of theological topics on which Catholics and Protestants disagree, but for the sheer number of popular Protestant arguments that are explicitly & undeniably false, nothing tops the question of where the Bible comes from & how many books it has. . .

New Book by George Weigel, The Fragility of Order (Credit: The Catholic World Report)

Discouragement is Not an Option: Weigel on the Fragility of Order

. . .I’ve just finished reading a fine collection of essays by George Weigel entitled The Fragility of Order which covers a number of fascinating topics from the late nineteenth century to the present with the author’s usual combination of broad knowledge, meticulous research, & sound judgment.  Of course, even Catholic friends like to criticize Weigel on occasion; when somebody is so obviously a leading Catholic thinker, the rest of us have to distinguish ourselves somehow—& we all have dogmatic personalities, after all. . .
