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…
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…
Catholic YouTuber Timothy Gordon put out a video titled “Are Protestants Christians?” where he gave three arguments in support of his conclusion that they are not. Here I discuss flaws in these arguments and show why the Catholic Church does in fact teach that Protestants are Christians.
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.

Here I have a discussion with my friend Karlo Broussard of Catholic Answers about his new book, “Meeting the Protestant Response” (a follow-up to his previous book, “Meeting the Protestant Challenge”). In this sequel, Karlo goes over numerous Protestant “comebacks” to Catholic claims based on Scripture, and we go over a few of them here.
Does Anything Actually Follow from Sola Scriptura? In what follows I will show that it would not matter if a Catholic were to affirm the foundational Protestant principle of Sola Scriptura (“Scripture Alone”). In fact I will argue that nothing relevant to the Catholic/Protestant debate actually follows from Sola Scriptura at all. What Is Sola…
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…
