Unapologetically Catholic

Not all Protestants are anti-Catholic. There are some who can be VERY uncharitable and typically it can be from friends and/or family you are really close to. It can be very difficult to deal with people like that and I know this from first hand experience. This episode I talk about how I have handled it in hopes that it will help you if you experience it as well!

A number of people recently have asked me how I became Catholic or why I became Catholic. If you're wondering the same thing, this episode is for you! It's long but I tried to share as much detail about how I went from a Southern Baptist, to a Presbyterian to a Catholic.

Does everything we believe have to come explicitly from scripture? If not, does that mean that scripture isn't as important to Catholics? We look at these questions and others related to them in this episode!

Have you ever heard Advent referred to as "little Lent"? If you notice at Mass the priest wears the same purple vestments that he does at Lent and there's a reason for it. Advent, like Lent, is a time of preparation. This week's episode will go into more detail on that!

Did you know that Halloween is just one day of a three day celebration in the Catholic Church? This week we talk about All Hallow's Eve, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. This is a very important time of year for remembering and praying for those who have gone on before us and thanking God for what he's done in the lives of the Saints and asking God to bring those in purgatory to full union with him!

Have you ever wondered why Catholics call Priest Father when the bible clearly says "call no man father" in Matthew 23:9? That's what we will be talking about in this episode! We look at various bible verses and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to help explain why Catholics do (and rightfully should) call priest Father.

This week I got the opportunity to sit down with Fr. Gaurav Shroff and discuss what it means for the priest to act "In persona Christi capitis" or in the person of Christ the head. We talk about why there it is important to make the distinction about the priest operating in the person of Christ the HEAD and how even deacons and the laity are called to act in the person of Christ as well.

This episode is about what, in my opinion, is the most important topic that we should be discussing with our Protestant brothers and sisters. There are a lot of differences and similarities between Catholics and Protestants but there is one issue I think should be the at the top of the debates. I talk about what that is and why I believe that in this episode!

This weeks episode scratches the surface of free will! Do we have free will? How can we have free will if God knows all things? Can free will and predestination be true at the same time? These are all questions we look at this week. Free will is a HUGE topic so this episode really just goes over free will as it pertains to our salvation.
