Why Aren’t You Catholic?

Staff Apologist Trent Horn asks listeners, “Why Aren’t You Catholic?” Their answers spark some unexpected conversations.

Questions and Topics Covered:

• 02:27 - I am close to being Catholic, but I am wondering how the Catholic Church would reconcile 1 Timothy 4:3 when it reprimands those who abstain from meat with the Lenten observance of abstaining from meat.
• 07:23 - I can’t believe in Hell.
• 18:17 - I have an objection to the Eucharist. It seems that Jesus is saying that he is a replacement for past tradition, not literally bread.
• 29:20 - I am not Catholic because I got a divorce and now I can’t be Catholic anymore.
• 43:38 - How can I be Catholic and still be friends with my protestant friends?
