Last updated on: January 26, 2024 at 3:24 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by the very cordial John Martignoni, an author, speaker, long-time radio host, and the founder and president of the Bible Christian Society to mine some of the questions that Protestantism – that I, as a Protestant Evangelical Christian – had the hardest time answering. These are questions like that John calls the “pea under the mattress.” Questions like what did Jesus mean in Matthew 18:15 when he explained how to resolve... Read more

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Dr. Matthew J. Thomas to talk about justification, salvation, and whether or not Evangelicals and Catholics can agree on how we’re saved. This is a wonderful topic and one of the bread-and-butter type conversations on this podcast: unpacking what both Catholics and Evangelicals believe about how we’re saved and trying to come up with some agreement. Dr. Thomas explains how the definition of words like “justification,” “works,” and “salvation” can... Read more

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Dr. Samuel Klumpenhouwer, an expert in Medieval Catholicism, to talk about the day-to-day realities of what it was like for Catholics in the Middle Ages?
