Traditional Catholic Apologetics.net

Traditional Catholic Apologetics.net Welcome To Traditional Catholic Apologetics:

I try to bring you some interesting sites as I find them:

"The Goal of this web-page is to assist Catholics in learning and defending their Faith against the enemies of Christ's One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Christ promised 'The gates of hell shall not prevail against' (Matt16:17) The Church which he built upon the 'Rock' (Peter). But we can be sure the forces of Satan will try. We provide a large section of almost SIX HUNDRED 'apologetics' articles, geared to answering a vast number of the more common Protestant objections to our Catholic faith.

With such splendid online Catholic apologetics books as "What say you", "The Question Box" , 'Faith of our Fathers' and the THE ONLY COMPLETE ONLINE EDITION (all four volumes!!) of "Radio Replies", Traditional Catholic Apologetics has over 7000 READY REPLIES for many of most common questions on Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Paganism and Communism.

We also have included a large selection of articles dealing with the sacred scriptures which include a huge Apologetics Bible Concordance that contains the complete verses for each topic, in many cases it has supporting citations in the early church fathers as well . We also have information about the Douay-Rheims. We have many of articles defending the use of the Deuterocanonical books.

Not only do we have a large number articles defending Holy Mother Church and her teachings and her Bible, but we are the largest Catholic resource on the internet for information about the errors and changes found in the Protestant Bibles, such as the King James Version and the New International Version.

CNA - At Almost 6 months, Baby Aborted in Argentina!

Catholic News Agency

Argentinean baby, saved from death two weeks ago, aborted Friday
Buenos Aires, Aug. 28, 2006 (CNA) - The parents of a mentally disabled woman who had supposedly conceived through rape and had been given permission by the courts in Argentina to undergo an abortion finally had their wishes granted as the unborn child’s life was taken on Friday at a private clinic, in the city of La Plata.

Although the baby was a few weeks short of viability, the Supreme Court of Buenos Aires had authorized an abortion to be administered at the end of July. However, doctors at a public hospital refused to comply with the order, objecting that the baby was too far developed for the procedure to take place.

Although the child’s great-grandmother had offered to care for him and local government officials had offered to provide economic assistance, the family’s lawyer told reporters the private clinic agreed to carry out the abortion, even though the woman was almost six months pregnant.

The director of the Bioethics Institute of the Catholic University of La Plata, Dr. Juan Carlos Caprile, strongly condemned the act and said the doctors who administered the abortion committed an act of “homicide on an innocent child of 6 months who was completely formed and all of whose organs were completely functioning, including the heart—which begins to beat at about 18 days after conception.”

“Once again the weight of the law has pierced, as with a sword, the heart of a small, defenseless victim, who was sentenced to death and was executed by professionals who claim to practice ‘the art of healing,’ but in reality engage in the ‘art of killing’,” Dr. Caprile stated.

“One of the techniques that could have been used is the scraping of the uterus, which cuts the child into pieces, killing him in the very sanctuary of life that is the maternal womb,” he said. “Another method is the injection of saline solution into the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby, which causes his instantaneous death, after which he is extracted.”

“A cesarean operation may have also been performed, such that once the uterus is opened, the baby is extracted and dies in the process from lack of medical attention. As he is extracted alive, he surely cries out begging for his life, as other babies do at that stage; (babies) who are blessed by the scientific advances that are practiced by neo-natal doctors, true professionals in the art of healing,” Dr. Caprile said.

First Day of School

Wow! How time flies! Today is the first day of school (for the kids) at All Saints! All the kids will soon be dropped off and will go to their new classrooms and, many of them, will be meeting the new Spanish teacher for the first time! This has been an eventful week, last week, we began our time as teachers at All Saints with the Ropes course and devotions. Friday was a day of 'recovery' with the Diocese of Tulsa new teacher orientation and Registration at All Saints. I was able to meet many of the parents and some of the children I will be teaching.

This week, we had CPR training and, yesterday, the last full day of In-Services before our first day with the students today.

I bought a scooter this week. It is in the shop being 'tweaked' now but I should get it back today. The gas mileage was the absolute have to decider for me. $4.50 to FILL THE TANK!!!!! Yeah, at almost 20 miles from our house to the school, it is IMPORTANT to get good gas mileage!

Oh yeah, we just finished moving too! Between a new school, a new house, and new scooter, this has been a BUSY summer!
