Urban legends claim that in 1531, Mary appeared to Juan Diego and imprinted a miraculous painting on his tilma cloak. Yet this story didn’t exist until 117 years after the event. It’s also known who did this supposed miraculous painting (and there’s nothing miraculous about it either).

In the 1350s, dubious stooges claimed to have the very linen cloth Jesus was buried in! It was debunked almost immediately by the local bishop, and has been debunked as a forgery by science. Despite this, numerous popes, both recent and distant, believed it was authentic! Yet the Gospel of John says Jesus was buried in strips of linen, not a complete sheet!

Padre Pio was a womaniser, an Italian fascist, and a fraudulent teller of tall tales. According to Catholic dogma he was guilty of the sin of presumption, rank heresies, necromancy and banned from priestly duties by the Vatican itself! Yet Pope John Paul II canonised and mythologised him in 2002! Was he a saint or a fake? Find out now!

In 1917, three shepherd children claimed to see the Virgin Mary, even though thousands of Catholics and few skeptics saw nothing. They also stared at the sun, expecting a miracle. The sun appeared to dance in the sky. Decades after the event, Lucia dos Santos claimed to have been given a series of prophecies, but never mentioned them until long after they were fulfilled. What evidence is there for these bizarre events in 1917? Find out now!

Do Catholics really believe the Bible? Does the Bible support celibate priests or the status of Mary? Does the Bible teach assurance of salvation? Find out now!

Was Mary a perpetual virgin? Sinless? Assumed into heaven? While Catholics do NOT worship Mary, they give her names and titles that only belong to God.

Could an infallible church change its doctrines? Can a dogma be true one day and false the next? In this episode we examine a few examples of doctrines that have changed in the church since Vatican II.

What's the biblical evidence that Peter was the pope and set up a line of successors for the next 2,000 years who could make infallible pronouncements on church dogma? Here we will examine the meaning of Matthew 16:15-19 and how it fits with the rest of scripture.

After three and a half years as a devout Catholic convert from a Presbyterian upbringing and an avid apologist of Catholicism on social media and podcasting, I came to the shocking conclusion that Catholicism was not the one true church as they claimed. This is the story of my deconversion experience on how I abandoned Catholicism! Stay tuned for my next episodes on Catholicism! #catholicism #catholic #ewtn
