September 30 Are Miracles the Best Route to Faith? Even Rome Says NO. || SLP681
Glen Scrivener responds to a new departure in Catholic apologetics: vindicatory miracles. He compares this new emphasis to the teaching of Cardinal Ratzinger, Vatican I and II, and—most importantly—Scripture. This is not "route one" to faith, nor is it "route one" to Rome. Even Rome disagrees with that.
