Why We’re Catholic

Apologist and author Trent Horn shares insights into Catholic belief, helping callers grasp why we believe what we believe on a range of topics.

Questions Covered:

• 14:32 - Just because Mary was conceived without original sin, why does it follow that she never sinned?
• 17:23 - I’ve heard purgatory referred to as a place where our sins are purged, but I’ve also heard it called a place of punishment. Which is it?
• 22:10 - I am on my way to the Catholic faith, I watch daily Mass through Salt and Light, and I pray the rosary once a week. But, coming from the protestant faith, I am having a hard time with some things like Marian devotions.
• 29:07 - My 17 year old son has been watching many protestant videos, and he has started to question the true presence of the Lord in the Eucharist. Where in the bible can I find information for him?
• 35:35 - Why was Jesus told to be named Emmanuel but he was called Jesus?
• 42:20 - I’m wondering why Trent chose Catholicism over Orthodoxy.
• 50:39 - I am wondering about the doctrine of original sin, since the Catholic Church teaches that Jesus was never born with a broken nature to have the tendency towards sin, so how is Jesus fully human?
