Richard Dawkins vs Cardinal George Pell

There are so many problems with this debate that it’s hard to know where to begin. I can’t agree with either disputant. Dawkins proves that it is possible to be deluded about God, and he is correct. He adequately proves that Gnosticism is false, and this is a useful contribution to Christian theology. The...

This is My Body

And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you.” (Luke 22:19). What are we doing here? What did Jesus do in that Upper Room that night? What is this Holy Communion that we celebrate? I...
