Talks Offered by Our Speakers
The Keeper Of The Keys
Jimmy Akin

A unified understanding of the purpose of the papacy’s existence as seen through the Old Testament, the key Gospel text regarding Peter, and how that understanding answers common objections to the papal institution.
Vatican II: What Really Happened?
Jim Blackburn

We will examine the foundation for ecumenical councils, explore a brief history of the councils leading up to Vatican II, and then delve into council teaching and post-conciliar controversies.  We will consider these topics:

•         Why did we need Vatican II?
•         What is Ecumenism?
•         Did Church teaching change at Vatican II?
•         What about “Outside the Church there is no salvation”?
•         Are the popes since John XXIII really valid popes?
•         Were the post-conciliar changes to the Mass licit?
•         Should I follow my conscience or Church teaching?
•         What is moral relativism?
A Biblical Theology Of The Papacy
Karlo Broussard

Casting deep into the Sacred Page, Karlo draws out the various clues from both the Old and the New Testaments that reveal the origins of the Catholic institution of the Papacy.  Karlo demonstrates emphatically that Scripture reveals the Catholic theology of the papacy by looking at the apostle Peter and the role that Christ gives him in His Church.
The Shocking Truth About The Pope And The Bible
Tim Staples

Tim presents the truth of the Papacy in the Gospels while dispelling some of the most common misconceptions about both the Papacy and the famous petrine texts of Matthew, Luke and John.
The Shocking Truth About The Papacy And The Fathers Of The Church
Tim Staples

Using Newman’s famous quip, “To be steeped in history is to cease from being Protestant,” Tim demonstrates overwhelming evidence from the first five centuries of Christian history, that the Papacy was a central tenet of the Catholic Christian Faith in the East and West from Pentecost until the Council of Chalcedon.
Pope Benedict XVI: For Such A Time As This
Tim Staples

In this talk, Tim will show how Pope Benedict XVI is, as Tim calls him, “the incarnation of the documents of Vatican II.” Pope Benedict XVI, in a relatively short period of time, has led the charge in confronting “the dictatorship of relativism,” continuing the dialogue with our Orthodox brethren, Protestants of all denominations, Jews, Muslims and more. Tim will give specific examples of each and show how our Holy Father is the best living example of what all of us are called to do as fully initiated Catholics: preach the gospel with our words as well as our deeds—with compassion, yet without compromise.
