Our work is under the patronage of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux who tasted the “bread of sorrow” in solidarity with unbelievers, and who, from that place of communion with her atheist brothers and sisters, prayed for divine light. Our mission in developing the content of a New Apologetics is to reach out, as Cardinal Francis George has written, “with the faith that comes to us from the apostles, witho

ut compromises that would contravene the dignity and vocation of beings made in the image of a self-giving God.”

All contributors to NewApologetics.com are loyal to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, but our methodology in dialoging with those who do not share the faith is strictly limited to using well-accepted principles of reason without appeal to authority. Anybody who wants to ask questions or discuss issues related to the work of NA can do so in this group.

A REFUTATION OF THE KALĀM COSMOLOGICAL ARGUMENT

A new article has been posted at NewApologetics.com:

http://newapologetics.com/a-refutation-of-the-kalam-cosmological-argument

This contribution to the work of counter-apologetics is made strictly in service of intellectual honesty and is not intended to be an argument for atheism in any way. We believe it to be an essential aspect of free and honest inquiry that if some argument can be shown to be faulty, then the fault ought to be exposed without delay or compunction regardless of one’s allegiance to any particular metaphysical conclusions, religious commitments, or fear of adverse polemical consequences. May any flaws in our arguments be quickly and decisively exposed for the sake of the same imperatives.

We offer this criticism as believers in God. In union with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, we unequivocally profess the following:

“By natural reason man can know God with certainty, on the basis of his works. But there is another order of knowledge, which man cannot possibly arrive at by his own powers: the order of divine Revelation. Through an utterly free decision, God has revealed himself and given himself to man. This he does by revealing the mystery, his plan of loving goodness, formed from all eternity in Christ, for the benefit of all men. God has fully revealed this plan by sending us his beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 50)
