Why Aren’t You Catholic?

We invite callers to explain why they are not Catholic, and then Trent Horn charitably discusses the issues callers have towards the Catholic faith.

• Questions and Topic Covered:
• 12:32 - Why does the Catholic Church teach that you can lose your salvation?
• 20:19 - My girlfriend is not Catholic because she heard the Catholic Church is Sola Ecclesia.
• 29:42 - The Catechism of the Catholic Church and Vatican II documents claim that the God of Catholicism is the same as the God of Islam. I do not believe I will be judged by Allah when I die.
• 39:55 - Where did the idea that someone could go through Mary to get to Jesus come from?
• 47:46 -  I am not Catholic because if you add to the work of Jesus on the Cross you dilute it.
