Response to Colin B. Donovan
Exert from the Introduction (see link below): "Before responding to Mr. Donovan's article, this author would like to note from outset his respect for Colin as a competent apologist and theologian, perhaps the brightest EWTN offers. As an apologist, it is his job to "know a little about a lot", in order to provide satisfactory answers to a broad range of inquiries. This author does not claim to be an apologist, but one advantage afforded to me is the luxury of time; to know a lot about one thing only; this topic. And the more I examined Mr. Donovan's arguments, the more I realized the crux of what led Colin to his conclusions, that is; a poor english translation of certain Church documents (more to come on this below). With that said, let us know examine Mr. Donovan's article;"

Response to Fr. Mitch Pacwa
Among the handful of articles circulating on the internet written by critics of the Poem, perhaps the most often quoted is an article written by Fr. Mitch Pacwa, entitled; “Is the Poem of the Man-God simply a Bad Novel?”. In it, Fr. Pacwa posits a series of arguments against the Poem, which, on the surface, appear very compelling. However, upon further research, one readily discovers that these arguments do not stand up to scrutiny.

Since his article has already been sufficiently rebutted, there is little reason to repeat what has already been written. It should suffice to reference the rebuttals (see links above), should the reader be interested in further investigation.
