Everyone is certainly welcome to post opinion or their own views and analyses on major issues. When the news broke that there was […]
Today we will look at a classic work that critiques the papacy from a different vantage point. In an atmosphere of debate that is dominated by throwing outdated, debunked and forgery-based arguments back and forth: Dr. Sherrard’s book is an excellent philosophical critique of the papacy, or more properly philosophical theology. Although we […]
