Fair Use: Under the fair use doctrine of the U.S. copyright statute, it is permissible to use limited portions of a work including quotes, for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, and scholarly reports. Today I decided it would good to open up the discussion forum from discord for opposition and Q n A on the topics of Protestant and Roman Catholic (mainly traditional Catholic) apologetic discussions.

Today’s topics are restricted to Catholic and Protestant issues.
