In a very easy to follow format, Karlo offers a how to approach in dialoguing with other Christians outside the Catholic Church.

	The Church: Visible & Authoritative Karlo Broussard In response to the common errors about the Church among many Christians today, Karlo proves from the Sacred Page that the Church of the 1^st century established by Jesus Christ was not merely an invisible group of believers who possessed equal authority but a community with visible leaders exercising a divine authority over the People of God to lead them to the truth. Karlo gives the biblical evidence that Jesus Christ did in fact establish an infallible magisterium to which all Christians must submit out of obedience to Christ.
	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.
	Apostolic Succession: “Let Another Take His Office” (Acts1:20) Karlo Broussard Karlo tackles the most important question in all of Protestant and Catholic debates, “Did the apostolic authority continue?” Contrary to what many Christians believe, Karlo gives both implicit and explicit evidence that the authority given to the apostles by Christ to teach and govern in the Church did not cease with the death of the last apostle, John, but was communicated to other men outside the original twelve apostles. After establishing the biblical revelation of apostolic succession, Karlo builds the bridge from the 1^st century to present day Christianity and identifies in the Catholic Church the original Church established by Jesus Christ.
	A Biblical Critique Of Sola Scriptura Karlo Broussard Karlo goes after the fundamental building block of the Protestant Reformation and demonstrates that the Bible alone is not sufficient for revealing the fullness of God’s Revelation. He gives evidence that the Bible itself points toward the necessity of holding fast to a Sacred Tradition that is indispensable for receiving and understanding the truth of Jesus Christ. Karlo convincingly proves that the Catholic Theology of appealing to Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition is essential to the practice of early Christianity.
	The Intercession Of The Church Triumphant Karlo Broussard With great clarity and keen insight, Karlo answers the common questions that arise in regard to the intercession of the saints, such as “Why should I pray to the saints when I can go straight to Jesus?” or “Why do Catholics pray to saints when Jesus is the one mediator between God and man?” He convincingly demonstrates that the Catholic theology of the intercession of the saints is both explicitly and implicitly found in the Sacred Scriptures. As such, Karlo concludes that to deny the intercession of the saints is deny the essence of Christianity.
