Jimmy Akin and the Unanimous Consent of the Fathers A Critique by Robert Sungenis

In Brett Salkeld’s paper, Creationism as a Conspiracy Theory, he makes a reference to Jimmy Akin’s article, “The ‘Unanimous Consent’ of the Church Fathers,” which was published in the August 17, 2018 issue of the National Catholic Register .  Since Akin’s thesis is a major plank of Salkeld’s thesis, I will make a point-by-point critique of Mr. Akin’s paper.

Bishop Robert Barron and his Dubious Beliefs About Creation and the Bible

As an addition to my critique of Brett Salkeld’s “Catholic Creationism as a Conspiracy Theory,” I have included this critique of Bishop Barron since Salkeld makes reference to a video Bishop Barron produced on Youtube.1 Bishop Robert Barron is a product of his generation. He, like every other liberal of his time, believes we have ‘come of age,’ as the saying goes, and therefore we can dismiss the literal interpretation of Genesis that our forebears so diligently safeguarded for us. What he accuses his opponents of doing is what he himself is doing. Of course, he has his reasons for his modernistic interpretation and in his heart he believes he is defending the Bible and Catholicism. In reality, he is destroying our tradition and the trust we have placed in the Bible to give us inspired and inerrant divine revelation about human origins. Let’s hear Fr. Barron speak for himself (and I will critique him line-by-line) Read Full Article (PDF)

Poor Catholics So Deceived about Evolution and the Bible A Critique of Brett Salkeld's Creationism as a Conspiracy Theory

As my patrons know, I have been dealing with the subject of creationism v. evolution for the last 40 years. Although I have not written a book specifically on evolution, I have included critiques of it in my books, Scientific Heresies and A Commentary on Genesis 1-11, in addition to numerous treatments in published and unpublished articles. After reading Salkeld’s paper, I was amazed at the total misrepresentation of the creation side of the story and the modern science that backs it up. I was also alarmed by Bishop Robert Barron, who Salkeld cites for support, with his cavalier attitude of Scripture; and how Jimmy Akin, who Salkeld also cites, takes sides against the traditional requirement concerning the unanimous consent of the Fathers. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when I read Salkeld had the audacity to accuse creationists of being part of a “conspiracy theory,” yet, by his own admission, he had refused to answer any of their challenges. It was then I decided to write ...

05/26/20 - Robert Sungenis Live - God’s role in the Covid-19, doctrine of justification, Jesuits, Coriolis, Evolution & Catholic Answers, sins against the Holy Ghost, Old Testament sacrifice, Indulgences, capitalism, socialism and communism, Hail full of grace, kecharitomene

May 26, 2020 1. What is God’s role in the Covid-19 situation? 2. Do Protestant apologists believe that everyone got the doctrine of justification wrong for 1,500 years until Luther? 3. Have you read Jonathan Sarfati's book The Genesis Account? I know you wrote a similar book. 4. Why were the Jesuits suppressed from 1773-1814? 5. In the geocentric system, if the Coriolis is a force, where does it come from? 6. What force keeps the distant stars in orbit around the Earth, but also doesn't crush us? 7. How can we prove to a non-believer that the Church is a divine institution whose claims are true? This person doesn't accept Scripture, as it was compiled by the Church herself. 8. Can Catholics believe in Evolution or do we have to take Genesis literally? I have heard from apologists of Catholic Answers that the Church allows the faithful to choose whether they want to believe in Evolution or not. 9. Fr. Ripperger suggests that DNA degradation is a short-cut way to p...

Dr. James R. White On the Work of Calvary Supports the Theology of the Catholic Mass

Robert Sungenis  referenced this passage in tonight's broadcast. He referred to it as "couldn't have been written better by Thomas Aquinas" clearly expressing the Catholic theology of the Mass. Except it wasn't written by Thomas Aquinas. It was written by reformed Baptist apologist, professor, and elder, Dr. James R White , of Alpha and Omega Ministries . He's debated most of the Catholic apologists out there. "The terms “offering” and “sacrifice” come straight from the Levitical concepts of sacrifice in the law. The writer of Hebrews also used this kind of language in describing the work of Christ: “But when Christ appeared as high priest of the good things to come, (He entered) through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation, neither did he enter the holy place once for all through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.” (Hebrews 9:11-12) On wh...
