Jim Blackburn

Jim Blackburn is a Catholic Answers staff apologist. A cradle Catholic born and raised in southern Illinois, he is a graduate of Southern Illinois University. He had studied Catholicism and other faiths for many years as an amateur apologist before going on the 2003 Catholic Answers apologetics cruise. After the cruise, he left his career of nearly 20 years in the mortgage industry to become a full-time apologist.

In addition to supervising the Q&A department at Catholic Answers, Jim is a speaker on the Catholic Answers Speakers Bureau, a columnist for Catholic Answers Magazine, a regular guest on the global radio program Catholic Answers LIVE, and the author of 101 Quick Questions with Catholic Answers: Marriage, Divorce, and Annulment.

Why Be Catholic?
"Don't you wish everyone you knew was Catholic? In this groundbreaking DVD, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics Tim Staples, offers an engaging and simple solution: ""Catholicism has the cure for what ails each of us."""

“As a cradle Catholic and a mother of seven grown children and four grandsons, I have become more educated about my precious faith through your program and featured guests and apologists than I have ever been.”

~ Linda

The Salvation Controversy
The Salvation Controversy is a serious work by a serious and supremely-gifted defender of the faith on a topic of central concern for everyone. If it elicits the response it deserves, then all of us, whatever our confessional commitments, will at least be clearer about what really does divide us. And what does not.

"Use your pleasure with me. A reprieve or even a pardon upon your conditions I utterly refuse."

~ Thomas Whitaker, Venerable, imprisoned English priest; steadfastly declining all inducements to abandon his Catholic faith and become Anglican, just before his execution.
