Let's hand it to the Catholics

[DannyM]

Recently been scouting round the internet looking at a few blogs. Edward Feser (Catholic) ‘s blog is filled with Catholic Christians demolishing all sceptics who come their way. I don’t really go along with their philosophy or apologetic (I appreciate it immensely, but don’t adopt it) but these guys are giants and very sophisticated.

I’m on another forum which is predominantly Catholics and again I’m blown away by how they deal with sceptics who enter in their sights.

I’m not exactly surprised, since Catholicism can lay claim to many a giant theologian, philosopher and apologist, present and past. But, as Byblos alluded to me recently, the tide really has turned. We’ve been in the ascendancy for some time now, but hopping around the blogs it’s plain to see what’s what.

Along with the Presuppositionalists, I think the Catholic apologists are representing the faith tremendously. As they say down our way, credit where credit’s due!!

Make no mistake, and allowing for the fact that I am susceptible to the odd piece of hyperbole, this is a war of worldviews. And you know who’s winning, don’tcha?

Part of that may be due to the large amount of catholic universitys in the united states and the need for catholic theologan professors.

There's always Anglicans, too. CS Lewis and GK Chesterton fall somewhere in the mix there, and both were ardent opponents to skeptics of their times.

Catholicisim ( not juts Roman Catholics by the way), is very open to "self correctingness", far more that the institution of the RCC of course.
Catholicisim has a rich history of apologetics based not only on scripture but on reason and rational.
Anyone that has read the likes of Augustine or Aquinas for example, sees this.
