Robert Sungenis Gerry Matatics Art Sippo Tim Staples Scott Hahn

Which of these Catholic debaters would you say best articulate the faith of the Roman Catholic Church, and which of them are quite far off base, because it seems that they have big issues with one another.

Hello, Anon. (If we have to have "Anons" here, at least they should be like you. It seems that all past "Anons" have been attackers).

I'll list the people you've mentioned in descending order of my confidence in their orthodoxy. I have read and/or heard something from each of them except one.

1 (tie). Scott Hahn (totally reliable)
1 (tie). Tim Staples (totally reliable)
3. Art Sippo (reliable in limited things I have seen)
4. Bob Sungenis (edited great books ["Not by Faith Alone" and "Not be Scripture Alone"], was once totally reliable, but rumor is that he is slipping into dissent or heresy).
5. Gerry Matatics (once totally reliable, but now doubtful that he can be called Catholic).

God bless you.
John
