Still no response from Fr. Robinson so today I sent him a direct email inquiry at the following email address: probinson@sspx.net. I'm not holding my breath for an answer, but will just continue waiting. Below is the text of my email inquiry.
Dear Fr. Robinson,
Regardless of whether or not you could convince Robert Sungenis of your position that geocentrism is false or whether he could convince you of his position that geocentrism is true would you nevertheless be willing to engage him in a public debate on the subject? It is no doubt the rule, not the exception that debaters do not convince their actual debating opponents of their side of the subject being debated.
Debates can certainly be very useful to the public, especially those members of the public who are undecided on one issue or another. They may even be useful in changing the minds of some of the already decided. Why not give it a go? The Angelic Doctor certainly did not shy away from public debates. He regularly engaged in them and no doubt many souls benefited from his willingness to do so.
In all Christian charity, I hope you will respond to my aforesaid inquiry. Thank you for your anticipated answer.
In Christ the King and Mary our Queen,
Signature
!5 days later on November 22nd I received a direct email reply to my inquiry. Unfortunately, Fr. Robinson appeared quite adamant in explaining why he refuses to debate Dr. Sungenis. He gave a few reasons, all of which I regard as primarily protective posturing. The real reason and I think he knows it (if he doesn't something is really wrong) is that Sungenis would inflict one lethal blow after the other. It would be a complete wipe out.
