The entirety of these debates are available from Saint Joseph Media. From Father Pacwa’s Curriculum Vitae:
1991: Debate between Fr. Mitchell Pacwa, S.J. and Mr. James White: “How Is Man Saved?” Saint Joseph Communications, Inc., P.O. Box 720, W. Covina, CA 91793.
1991: Debate between Fr. Mitchell Pacwa, S.J. and Mr. James White: “The Holy Eucharist.” Saint Joseph Communications, Inc., P.O. Box 720, W. Covina, CA 91793.
I’m actually surprised that you would promote White’s talks. He is vehemently anti-Catholic, and doesn’t even view us as real Christians.
Also, the cutting of the tape at this point makes Father Pacwa, an amazing scholar who reads the Scriptures in their original languages, look as though he would not be able to respond at all. I’ve heard Father Pacwa discuss all manner of the Scripture and Gospels, and his knowledge is not limited in any senes. I haven’t heard this entire debate, but I have a sneaking suspicion that White cut the tape here because it makes Father Pacwa look as though he could not respond.
I cannot find a free mp3 of the debate with White, but other debates with Father Pacwa are available at this site, which categorizes various mp3’s available for free from a plethora of Catholic speakers. It’s another excellent resource for learning about Catholic theology. James White, I’m sorry to say, is one of the least reliable places for such information.
Thanks Christine, I’ll look over the resources you provided me.
I listen to Mitch Pacwa often on EWTN on my Sirius Radio so that I can understand both sides well.
I did not have the link for Mitch Pacwa’s blog, but thank you for the link and I’ll look it over very well.
I hope you are doing well, and God bless you in this New Year!
In God’s Grace,
Ric
