Top Ten Anti-catholics

[Justified Saint]

We have had the top ten attacks but now we need the top ten people I think.

Now these individuals are among those that try to couple scholarship with their anti-Catholic agenda, therefore Jack Chick, Bart Brewer, Jimmy Swaggart etc. won't be included.

1. Dave Hunt
2. Lorraine Boettner
3. James McCarthy
4. James White
5. Eric Svendsen
6. William Webster
7. Jason Engwer
8. David King
9. George Salmon
10. R. C. Sproul

Fred Phelps, well no one really takes him seriously. But I think that if he could be he would be Numero uno.

Even ahead of Jack Chick?

R.C. Sproul is anti-catholic? huh. i never knew that. I guess I was so horrified at his Calvinistic views that I didn't notice...

R.C. does believe Catholics can go to Heaven with the right trust in Christ. It resembles a flip-side to how Catholics view Protestants. He is a courteous man, but straightforward about disagreements. He is the kind of anti-Catholic that would listen to you and debate wanting unity. There is another kind of Protestant that considers doctrine to be petty and will not debate anybody, but still says all the right things about Catholics. It is a 'pick your poison' so to speak.

Philip Pullman is certainly no fan of the Catholic Church...... Neither was George Bernard Shaw. So, I mean, what is the criteria for getting on this list? People who write serious anti-Catholic apologetics? People who write? People who are still living? Does it matter if they are atheist or Protestant?

I have to admit that I am not familiar with anyone you've listed, so clearly I'm not up to making the list myself.

I think it would be fun to make a list of Top Ten frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Catholics....and then we could find a place for Jack Chick, Fred Phelps and their ilk.

Bill Maher? he should really be up there.

Wow, did anyone see the date on this? It is like 5 years old. I don't even know who most of those people are anymore...lol

I am pretty sure those are all contemporary apologists and that must have been my criteria, though I obviously did not provide it. That is all I can say, 5 years later. Notice it does say unofficial list

Wow,

So, Satan isn't the top Anti-Catholic?

Come on, if you're Christ's true lambs, you wouldn't care what other men thought of you, because you're at war with the devil.

You know - this guy -

Forget all those idiots, and focus on the real enemy.

Are they commiting blasphemy against the holy spirit which is the unforgivable sin ?
In the Catholic Bible it says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is to attribute to the devil what is really a work of the Holy Sprit.

Then let them blasphemy, if it is really blasphemy.

Are we God to know what blasphemy against the holy spirit is?

So, you intend on living under the law, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?

Mabey you dont understand what "the unforgivable sin" means.

It means you cant say sorry.
Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Attributing to the devil what is of God) is unforgivable.
Therefore if someone says their whole life that the catholic church is the whore in revelaions they better be right. Or it would appear as if they are commiting blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.

I wouldn't worry about it then.

If it is blasphemy, God will deal with it.

If it is not, then you don't have to worry about them going to hell.

My goodness. You'd think the whole idea of the Christian life is to go to heaven. I'd worship God from Hell if he choose me to go there.

Don't say the Church Christ started belongs to satan then.
