Some Controversies of the Day

Sanctuary of the Church

Fr Finigan's Blog

"The Hermeneutic of Continuity" I often post items of controversial interest here, as well as bits and pieces of news that might be of general interest. (The title is from the address of the Holy Father to the Roman Curia just before Christmas.)

Always be prepared to make a defence to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you.
1 Peter 3.15

Fr Finigan has spoken to various groups on controversial issues that arise today. The talks and some links are posted on the website so that you can have access to material that will help you if you are questioned about these matters.


Answering the "Da Vinci Code"

Opus Dei, the Priory of Sion, St Mary Magdalene. The Gnostic Gospels and the Church's belief in the Divinity of Christ. Purported "facts" and prejudiced fiction.

Dawkins, Evolution and Atheism

Has science disproved God? What do we believe about Creation? Can Catholics accept an evolutionary view of the world? How atheists reject faith without understanding it.

See our page of links related to this talk.

Creation and Evolution.
