Listen Later

How can Catholics respond to Sedevacantist claims and Jehovah’s Witness interpretations of Scripture? Why does the Bishop of Rome hold primacy over the Bishop of Antioch? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we tackle these challenging apologetics questions, explore how to clearly defend the Catholic doctrine of the Trinity, and offer strategies for helping LGBT youth remain connected to the Church. We also discuss the spiritual significance of choosing a saint’s name at Confirmation and how to distinguish authentic Magisterial teaching from personal theological opinion.
