Why Aren’t You Catholic?

Staff Apologist Trent Horn asks listeners, “Why Aren’t You Catholic?” Their answers spark some unexpected conversations.

Questions and Topics Covered:

• 01:46 - I’m not Catholic because I don’t believe in the Trinity.
• 13:21 - I am not Catholic because I don’t know any Catholics who have a relationship with Jesus, and who talk about the Faith.
• 19:09 - There have been sinful popes and bishops, and the Catholic Church looks like a man made religion, so I could not be Catholic.
• 30:08 - I am not Catholic because I cannot accept a God who would watch and allow his son to suffer and die.
• 43:15 - My wife and I are deep followers of Jesus Christ, but our extended family is not. They are anti-Catholic, so we are not Catholic in order to have common ground with them so that we can bring them to Christ.
• 50:42 - Not Catholic because the book of Acts says that Jesus’ followers were called Christian.
