Why Apologetics Matters

Questions Covered:

  • 11:33 - For someone who is looking into getting a master’s in theology to improve their apologetics, how should one go about choosing a program? Should I start writing a blog? 
  • 18:14 - Some members of the Catholic clergy claim that there is salvation for almost all people, inside or outside the Catholic Church. Why is apologetics necessary if that is the case? 
  • 30:12 - Can the catechism be wrong concerning teachings that are not infallible? 
  • 36:00 - I have a 14-year-old daughter who is interested in apologetics. What would be a good resource to point her in the right direction? 
  • 43:37 - My son left the Church and is a part of a “Bible only” church. How can I explain to him that baptism is not the only thing that is needed for salvation?
