Roman Catholic Indulgences
by Joseph Pittano on September 25th, 2024
on 25 Sep 24, someone on X re-posted this meme above with the following response:“Just going to keep reposting this every time Protestants lie: The Catholic Church has NEVER ONCE taught that indulgences forgive sins. This is exactly why so many Catholics think Protestants are simply unintelligent.”I replied with the following:Sir, I’d like to respond. It’s been well said that “He who frames the ar... Read More

Imputation from the Start
by Joseph Pittano on September 5th, 2024
Everyone knows that there have been disputes about the proper interpretation of the words of Scripture ever since the start. Even before the canon of the Bible was completed there were schisms and other gospels that Jesus and his first disciples all encountered. When we read the New Testament we see this over and over. Such will always exist. Until Jesus comes again, there will always be varying ... Read More

The Protestant/Christian Standard Or Chaos
by Joseph Pittano on August 23rd, 2024
Here is a great teaching to learn about the endless schisms and false authority claims in history both from Rome and Istanbul, mostly the latter:“Filioque: How Eastern Orthodoxy Anathematizes the Church Fathers.” https://youtu.be/5mEMG4tkQf0?si=oHyqNQufcJj1yi-r via @YouTube.——————-The fact is that neither the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) nor the opposing Eastern Orthodox Church (EOC) today represen...

Would Modern Catholicism Fix America?
by Joseph Pittano on August 15th, 2024
I wrote this on a X today and thought I’d post it here also. I could sum up the discourse as a response to a common idea presented by Catholics today that Catholicism would fix what Protestantism broke in the west.------------------Nevertheless gentlemen, a papacy had no place in American governance. You've both properly conceded this fact. As a Christian opposed to a papacy, I have a few thoughts... Read More

Be Like Alexamenos
by Joseph Pittano on August 11th, 2024
Christianity truly is a theology of the Cross. We can read right over statements in the Bible like, “Christ was crucified” or that he was “raised up” or that he “suffered unto death” without thinking about it much I know, but I want to ask you to recall and consider such passages with just a brief pause. God…died. He rose…but…our…God…died. The Son, of the only eternal being, took on flesh and that... Read More
