This should wrap up the John Martignoni (Bible Christian Society) vs. Joe Mizzi (justforcatholics.com) debate.

To clarify, here’s how the debate is structured; it could be a little better organized. It has 2 parts:

1. John states that Joe misrepresents Catholic teaching on salvation; John substantiates his claim in his round 1; Joe responds in his round 2; John concludes in his round 3.

2. Joe answers John’s question, “Is whether or not we have faith, God’s sole criteria for judging us worthy of salvation?” with a remarkably Catholic-sounding answer in his round 1; John responds in his round 2; Joe concludes in his round 3.

As of this publishing, Joe’s round 3 is not yet available, but I expect to see it any day now. It will be interesting to see how this pans out. So far, we have learned that Joe and John aren’t all that different, but Joe’s sold on the wrongness of Catholicism.
