In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I’m joined by Catholic Answers Apologist Karlo Broussard to talk about some of the most difficult biblical objections to Catholic beliefs. In this episode, we discuss biblical objections such as: Paul rebuked Peter so how can Peter be the first Pope? Jesus said “where two or three are gathered there I am” so how can the church be hierarchical? Jesus said that tradition nullifies the Word of God so isn’t tradition bad?... Read more

Mass is the Spiritual Workout God Knows You Need

Last updated on: November 6, 2019 at 2:41 pm By K. Albert Little

In almost all of the developed world obesity is a growing crisis. People—adults and, most alarmingly, children too—are getting fatter and becoming considerably less healthy. It’s a huge problem, pun intended, but strangely enough the causes of the epidemic we find ourselves is are all too well known, and stupidly simple. Highly processed food and a movement away from eating honest, down-to-earth meals as a family unit can be linked directly to our current crisis. A culture that values accomplishments, running...

Last updated on: November 6, 2019 at 1:40 pm By K. Albert Little

As a non-denominational, evangelical convert to the Catholic faith I feel compelled to respond. Trueman is, in a fact, someone very important to my own conversion. It was his quote, in a rather obscure location, which made a number of cameos during my own journey into pre-Reformation, ancient Christianity. It was, rather, Trueman’s assertion and challenge,...
