In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Catholic reverts Tom and Elli Zurowski. Tom has worked for decades in the international missionary field serving in some of the most dangerous places in the world and is a former church-planting pastor as well.

The Incredible Power of “In Persona Christi”

Last updated on: February 8, 2020 at 2:24 pm By K. Albert Little

It was a Sunday morning in Ordinary Time. I learned, a little while ago, that the there’s nothing ordinary about what the Catholic Church calls “Ordinary Time.” Technically, ordinary comes from “ordinal” which simply describes a sequence of things—like counting. In other words, what the Church calls Ordinary Time, the lengths of Sundays in between the high liturgical seasons like Easter and Christmas, is simply counted time. Nothing necessarily ordinary about it. And on this particular Sunday that was certainly the case. These days, our... Read more

If Infants Can’t Be Baptized, Women Can’t Receive Communion

Last updated on: February 1, 2020 at 2:03 pm By K. Albert Little

Theologian, philosopher, and evangelical convert to Catholicism Dr. Douglas Beaumont is one of the most insightful apologists working in the field today. As a writer and podcaster I read a lot, listen to a lot of lectures and talks, and speak to a lot of interesting people but, when speaking with Doug, I always come away with one or another sweeping new insights into how I understand my Catholic faith. Maybe because Dr. Beaumont talks about Catholicism like an evangelical;... Read more

Last updated on: October 14, 2020 at 8:26 pm By K. Albert Little

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by apologist, speaker, and author Dr. Douglas Beaumont to discuss the topic of infant baptism. Why do Catholics baptize infants? Why do some Protestant denominations object to this practice? What is the biblical basis and what about tradition? In his trademark straight forward approach Dr. Beaumont walks us through what Catholics believe baptism does, how this is often misunderstood by non-Catholic Christians, and how the Bible doesn’t give us clear...

039: Tough Questions to Ask “Bible-Only” Christians

Last updated on: October 14, 2020 at 8:28 pm By K. Albert Little

In this special episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I’m not joined by anyone at all. Instead, I sit down behind the microphone to discuss some of the tough questions which led me, as an Evangelical Christian, to my ultimate conversion to Catholicism. This episode is a bit of an experiment. I never intended this show to be me, sitting behind a microphone, talking to myself which is why I’ve always packed things full with fantastic guests. But some of... Read more
