  • An example of Rohr’s theology is shared here (screenshot), from an interview with Richard Rohr in 2019. It is located on his CAC website.

    Honest question: If restaurants & grocery stores recall food for the possibility of food poisoning, why don’t Christian publishers humbly recall books they’ve printed which promote poisonous teaching contrary to historic, biblical Christianity? 📙For example, why would two respected Christian publishing companies (Zondervan and IVP) choose to print literature promoting verifiably non-Christian programming?

  • Don and Joy Veinot and Marcia Montenegro in their book, Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret, address the frequent misquoting of John Calvin (by Ian Cron and others).
