Reply to a Liberal: Conclusion

by Raymond Karam February 7, 2006

Modern liberalism, which makes membership in the Catholic Church unnecessary for salvation, undermines something more than the dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church.

Reply to a Liberal Part I: Answer to Five Minor Points

by Raymond Karam February 7, 2006
