Why Aren’t You Catholic?

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

Questions and  Covered: 

• 06:06 - I do not understand the little areas of the Church that have a statue of a Saint, what are those and what am I supposed to do there?
• 22:11 - I am not Catholic because of predestination and Adam and Eve
• 36:31 - I do not understand the Catholic view on birth control. If people don’t want kids why do we make them have kids? If we use natural birth control why can’t we use contraceptives?
• 46:15 - I have a hard time abandoning the 39 articles of religion and abandoning the relation I currently have in my church community.
