Went almost two hours today but it’s an important program. Started off responding to William Samuel Bruce’s comments about me being a part of the “New Calvinism.” Then we moved into a response to James Fox Higgins on the subject of sola scriptura, its definition and defense (really important). Then following that theme we want back to this video featuring Cameron Bertuzzi (non-Catholic) and Matt Fradd (Roman Catholic) and tackled the comments on purgatory rather in-depth. Finished up the program playing a clip from my 2001 debate with Fr. Peter Stravinskas.

Intellectual Fisticuffs: Mark Shea on the Apologetics Scene (With Combox Update)
Over the years I have commented on the attempts of particular antagonists to paint yours truly as a fire-breathing zealot. Part of the ploy is to ignore the entire range of my work as a part of the attempt to make it look like I lack balance, and hence should not be worth the time one might invest in reading
