In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I’m joined by apologist, speaker, and author Dr. Douglas Beaumont to give us a crash course in apologetics. With his trademark insight, Dr. Beaumont discusses how we can share proofs and evidence for God with everyone from Atheists to Anabaptists and everyone in between. He provides insights and some of his favourite theological, philosophical, and scientific arguments and evidence for God’s existence and why, historically, the Catholic Church makes the most sense...

Are Papal Interviews on a Plane Infallible?

Last updated on: August 7, 2019 at 12:51 pm By K. Albert Little

The authority of the Catholic Church is notoriously hard to understand for non-Catholics—even many Catholics struggle to define exactly how and when the Church is exercising its authority. But one question that Catholics apologists hear often goes something like this, Well, Pope Francis said this during an interview on an airplane so isn’t that infallible Church teaching? To put it simply, no. It is not. But I can see why it can be confusing. I recently had a conversation with Catholic Answers Senior... Read more

The Quote That Convinced Me to Convert to Catholicism

Last updated on: July 26, 2019 at 12:22 pm By K. Albert Little

I first met Jesus at the age of fifteen. As a teenager, I “accepted Christ” and began to live as best a Christian life as I could muster. And it was great. I was happy as an Evangelical Protestant. I didn’t so much as reject Catholicism as much as I simply didn’t know about it. Worse, what I did know about the Catholic Church came from poorly catechized Catholics. From Catholics who, themselves, didn’t know much about their faith. Bad... Read more
