In a recent video on @TheCounselofTrent, Catholic Answers apologist Trent Horn said that Catholics worship Mary. Whoa – pump the brakes! Isn’t that heresy? Were Catholic apologetics just set back a few centuries? Or is there something more important to understand here? I go into this issue more here: With One Accord: Affirming Catholic Teaching…
Top 5 Catholic Books The Church has created a massive number of texts over her 2,000 year lifespan, and it can be overwhelming to even consider reading them all! The good news is that among the millions of volumes of writing the Church has produced, many of them are summaries or collections with which one…
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith and it has numerous lines of historical evidence supporting it. However, while all Christians believe in Jesus’ resurrection, not all believe in Mary’s appearances. Here I look at what happens if the same kinds of evidence used to argue for Jesus’ resurrection is…
Homosexual Unions… Capital Punishment… Atheism… Pachamama… Controversial statements made by Pope Francis have caused even faithful Catholics to divide over how to respond. Here I discuss my thoughts on how these controversies may actually strengthen confidence in the infallibility of the Church (whether the Pope is right or wrong!).
My friend Gerard Figurelli has returned to the Church from Evangelicalism. Listen to his full story here!
Eastern Orthodoxy has proved to be an attractive option for those Christians who want to be in communion with the historic Church without having to deal with an infallible Papacy, Marian dogmas, Purgatory, Modernism, etc. Here I discuss these subjects with Michael Lofton, founder of Reason and Theology and author of “Answering Orthodoxy: A Catholic…
Catholics often accuse Protestants of following mere private interpretations of Sacred Scripture. But the Catholic Church has no official list of authoritative Bible interpretations. What’s the point of having an infallible Church if it does not (cannot?) produce an infallible commentary on Scripture? Doesn’t that make the Catholic Church’s Bible interpretation just as fallible as…
My video on why James 2:24 should destroy Protestantism was very popular and generated a massive amount of discussion. Although its main point (that everyone bases their theology on interpretive traditions and not what just on what the Bible says) was largely missed, though, as many opted to simply try to answer my “prooftext” with…
Principles, like ideas, have consequences – and one popular argument against one sacrament has rather troubling results for another. Here I apply an principled argument against women receiving Holy Communion based on one made against infant Baptism.
We’ve all heard the Catholic claim that the Protestant reliance on Sola Scriptura (the “Bible Alone”) has only caused division in the Church and heresy to become acceptable – but is there a deeper, more important issue? In his book “The Obscurity of Scripture: Disputing Sola Scriptura and the Protestant Notion of Biblical Perspicuity,” author…
