Brother Adam Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 He is the author of a lot of good works (Not by Faith Alone, Not by Bread Alone, Not by Scripture Alone, How to Get to Heaven) but I've heard there have been recent problems with his theology. What are these and are these problems present in any of these aforementioned books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eremite Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) Robert Sungenis identifies himself with the so-called "Traditionalist" movement, and thus, many of his problems flow from that. He has been roundly criticized for various things, ranging from some stuff he claimed about Judaism, to scientific opinions, etc. As for the books, they all have trustworthy supporters, so they are fine. However, in "Not By Bread Alone", he does present some thoughts that seemingly contradict the Church's doctrine on the immutability of God. For the most part, though, they are good books.

Guest Eremite Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 (edited) Here is a recent criticism of his thoughts from Catholic apologist I. Shawn McIlhenny, who specializes in so-called "Traditionalism".

Archangel Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Sungenis believes in geocentrism, that the sun revolves around the earth. He's offering $1000 to anyone to prove otherwise.

Justified Saint Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Jeff Mirus weighs in: [url="http://www.catholicculture.org/sites/site_view.cfm?recnum=1900"]http://www.catholicculture.org/sites/site_...cfm?recnum=1900[/url] Despite his flaws, his stuff on Protestantism is still really solid.

MichaelFilo Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 He's not too much of a traditionalist.... I mean... that site claims that wearing a head-covering is purely a practice for the church that Paul was addressing, not the Universal Church(not saying it's wrong, just not a tradtionalist stance). God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
