Question
Hello,

I was reading AQ and saw your thread  attacking Feeneyism. I assume you are username: ubipetrus ? I like your interest in refuting this error. As a prep, please goto Angelqueen and pull up MRyans's posts, along with Pascendi's, they were AQ's Feeney champions.

Study there " proofs" and concentrate on refuting theirs, that would be most effective.

In Xto,
Vincent

You can see some of the fruit of my researches in my series, titled "Scholastic Dishonesty," located here:
1) Introducing Scholastic Dishonesty - Word Twisting to Change the Meaning:

2) Introducing the Treatise by Peter Dimond - Ellipses can Eclipse Ecclesial Intent:

3) Continuing the Positive Case From the Treatise - Three who dare challenge Church Teaching:

6) What About the What-abouts? - Part 2, It's All or Nothing! (The Popes)

I should point out that the first of these only barely mentions Feeneyism (a term I have refrained from using within the articles themselves) other than to fire a "warning shot over the bow" and to introduce the concepts and methods of scholastic dishonesty in general.  It's really quite simple - all you have to do is look up the quotes they use, and the whole thing is revealed for the sham that it is.  I glanced around on Angelqueen but there really wasn't much there but the same tired fragmentary quotes and lame arguments (and lots of name-calling).  My series contains much in the way of original research, things you have not seen anywhere else.  After the DailyCatholic Summer Hiatus, the series is to resume on the 8th of September with the next one:
7) What About the What-abouts? - Part 3, The Evidence is Overwhelming (The Doctors)
Read and enjoy!  You are in for a treat!
