HT: Apologetics315

On Wednesday 26th October, 2011, Protestant apologist William Lane Craig debated Peter Atkins on the topic: Does God Exist? This debate took place at the University of Manchester  as part of the UK Reasonable Faith Tour with William Lane Craig.



Quite frankly, it's as good a fight as I've seen any atheist put up against WLC.  

Video can be found on YouTube here. Craig's previous debate with Atkins can be found in the debate feed at Apologetics315 (Protestant site).

Summary:

Is there a God? How do we know? And how is it reasonable to believe in God given the evidence that the existence of evil provides. Join Dr. Peter Kreeft in a discussion of some of life's hardest questions, as he explores the rationality of belief in God.

Phil Krill, bio here and image right, has given a series of talks and has put them online for your spiritual growth. Here's a link to the full catalog. In the following post, however, he offers studied reflections on how to approach the Trinity.

Personhood, Relationship, Trinity - Divinely Human Love

Central to our understanding of love, personhood and relationship, the Trinity is not only the model but the source, the wellspring which creates and enables divinely human love.

Via the the closest person the Catholic Blogosphere has to G.K. Chesterton, both in wit, insight and beloved girth, the Great and Powerful Mastermind Mark Shea:

Agreed, Mark. Keep up the good work and how 'bout some more pics of Her Imperial Cuteness.

(HT to Mark Shea) - Librivox has produced a recording of Against Heresies by St. Irenaeus. Here's the summary from Librivox:

St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, describes several schools of Gnosticism which were prevalent among pre-Nicene Christianity. He then refutes these beliefs as heresies by contrasting them with what he describes as catholic, orthodox Christianity. Against Heresies demonstrates that earliest Christianity was a fascinating and diverse plethora of beliefs, debates, and schisms. (Summary by JoeD)

There's too much audio for me to hard link, so go there and get it yourself.

Atheist Christopher Hitchens and Catholic Dinesh D'Souza recently debated at the University oEf Notre Dame (GO IRISH!) and ND has kindly decided to stream the video online.

Pat Madrid, Catholic apologist extraordinaire, recently gave a talk about moral relativism. I know he knows his Bible and his Church history -- but philosophy? I've gotta' hear this!

Here's what he had to say:

I always enjoy the audio Tim points me to, so I'm definitely interested in the following:

Tom Riello interviews Bryan Cross on the topic of his recent article on Ecclesial Deism. Also in this episode, Bryan briefly discusses the visiblility of the Church and the necessity of the Petrine ministry.

...are the future of the Church, and boy-o-boy does the future look bright! Case in point, Fr. Andy Jaspers, S.J. The good padre wrote me and submitted the following:

Peace be with you,

I wondered if you could provide a link for some recent talks on Pope Benedict’s thought. These talks are given by solidly orthodox Jesuits, and are at a high level of scholarship.

The first talk is by Fr. Robert Araujo of Loyola University, Chicago. Fr. Araujo was the legal counsel for the Vatican delegation to the United Nations for several years up to this year. His talk is very timely, as it is on Pope Benedict’s social thought. Fr. Burgaleta is a biblical scholar from Fordham University, and gives an excellent assessment of “Jesus of Nazareth” as a contribution to biblical scholarship. Finally, Fr. Mueller, of Marquette University, gives a talk that is an engaging presentation on the Christology of “Jesus of Nazareth.”

The talks are available at: http://fordhamfrc.org/jpii/pagetwo.htm

Here are the talks from the Fordham site Padre recommended. Be sure to wear a seat belt.

The Jesuit Colloquium on Papal Thought

Benedict XVI:

"Virtue, Liturgy and Jesus of Nazareth"

June 7-June 10, 2009

Plenary Session Speakers Included

Robert Araujo, S.J., Boston College: "Benedict XVI, The Virtues, and Catholic Social Thought"

Claudio Burgaleta, S.J., Fordham University: "Benedict XVI: Theology of the Word of God"

Joseph Mueller, S.J. Marquette University: "The First Thing We Must Do is Open Ourselves to God, Benedict XVI's Theocentric Christology in Jesus of Nazareth"

Found the following thanks to reader Brigitte:

God

Atheists deny God’s existence; mystics experience God directly; saints are called friends of God. How can we finite human beings really know Him, the Infinite God? Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Holy Scripture, this is taken from the Luke E. Hart Series – Basic Elements of the Catholic Faith and provided by the Knights of Columbus Catholic Information Service.

“This helped evangelize an Agnostic Scientist friend to explore the faith and start asking for more!” Rennie - Spokane, WA

“For those seriously wondering about God’s existence, this presents many solid facets to contemplate.” Mark - La Crosse, WI
