This is a follow up to my video Could This Bible Verse Destroy Protestantism? With over 75,000 views, 4,500 likes, and 3,400 comments in its first year, it is probably the most popular video on my channel. But almost no one gets it. Even after responding to hundreds and hundreds of comments and pinning an…
In support of the Catechism in a Year podcast with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Ascension Press – the publishers of the Great Adventure Catholic Bible – has released a new edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The first of its kind, this beautiful edition has special “Foundations of Faith” contents and color coding that…
It may sound odd (or even blasphemous) to say that Jesus Christ is not a human person, but this is precisely true.

In fact I will argue that nothing relevant to the Catholic/Protestant debate actually follows from Sola Scriptura at all. What Is Sola Scriptura?…
HERE is my recent interview on Catholic vs. Protestant views of Communion (the Eucharist)! In this episode of the Catholic Challenge, we discuss: What is the teaching of the Eucharist and how did it influence my conversion? What are the Old Testament roots for the Eucharist? How do we understand John 6? How do Protestants…
