There is no such thing as a "good resource for debating Catholics", but you have billions of misrepresenting sites to choose from. Some have been exposed and refuted but basically they all say the same thing as the Ku Klux Klan and other cults. None of them tell the truth about Catholicism, which makes dismantling their ridiculous assertions easy. James White is probably the best Protestant apologist going. You can find him debating Catholics on you tube or google.
In all fairness Mec99, I would strongly suggest not using the web-site Magneta provided. (Massive list of Roman Catholic False doctrines) For if you were to use it in a debate with Catholics, their resources would be easily refuted.
I went to their site for a look-see and found out they condem celebrating Christmas or Easter. (see #10)
I also got a chuckle for #15. You know first hand that is a lie!

I have led a women's group for 5 or so years, and last year two Catholics began to attend. I never debated anything with them. But in teaching the message of grace, one of them totally got it, and it changed her life. She even went to her mother with the scriptures concerning grace, and her mother was overwhelmed with this knowledge.
The truth has its own power when presented with love. We don't have to argue on points where we might differ.

They use Catholic sources, and history. Thanks for acknowledging your RCC is so easily refuted.

Honestly, if you are going to debate us.

The issue most often is misinterpretation or ignorance in debate, from both sides.
