Jones Madrid
I need an excuse to put up this animated gif from Envoy Magazine, so I'm also linking to the short written debate between Douglas Jones and Patrick Madrid on the relationship between Scripture and the Church.

Doesn't Pete need to put this on his blog?
Hey, John.
Look into Eastern Orthodoxy. Just a suggestion. :)
Won't find it's way onto my blog.
I don't get Envoy, so I'm still quite scrawny on the beach.
Trying to stay away from apologetics stuff so I'm reading some Orthodox books on iconography and wading through the collected works of my patron Saint, John of the Cross.
Done with debate for a (long?) time.
That comic did make me laugh though.

Pete!!
Say it ain't so! It's no fun to only pick on dispy's. At least you make us earn our salt.

Let me modify that a bit. Debate around a campfire or in Scott's trailer with a truckload of beer is ok. The internet is out for now.
I realize my comment might have been construed as implying that Pete needed to brush up on his apologetics skills. I didn't mean that. I would say Pete is as good as, or better than, 98% of Catholics in his apologetics. Of course, I still think he is gravely mistaken in his understanding of scripture, but I don't really think "Envoy" would improve him any. For a Catholic laymen I think his articulateness is better than most.
By my comment I only meant that it seemed like the comic was a joke one would find on a Catholic site.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Rundy, I still have a lot to learn and really am still quite scrawny
(you should see me with my shirt off). No offense taken.
I assume everyone realizes this comic is a parody of the Charles Atlas ads in the comics books of the 70's. That's what makes it even more funny.
I wasn't sure if the comic was a parody or the people honestly looked up to those ads.
I can't decide which would make it funnier.
BTW, Pete, your blog comments are getting spammed now.
Yeah, I noticed. Is there a way to prevent blog spam?
Go to settings (then to the 'comments' section) and turn on the "word verification" feature. This requires commenters to copy nonsense like "jieE8rn2" to guard against automatically sent spam.
See! I'm barely-there computer literate at times. (John could have told you the same thing, but he's workworkworking.)
Just wanted to say that I like how the Protestant bully is carrying a Chick tract when he gets his come-uppance. Nice touch.
John, you need to send me the link to that cartoon, it is hilarious!
