The Martyrs

Steve Ray discusses the Catholic Church’s history of martyrs who refused to deny Christ.

Questions Covered:

• 18:20 - How can you historically prove that the writings of the martyrs are theirs? Do most Protestants believe that these writings existed and were true? 
• 21:55 - How can we defend the bad practices of popes in the early Church?     
• 32:00 – My sister in law is a Born Again Christian and she always ask what the basis is for why the martyrs are saints, and she singled out Maria Goretti, the rape victim. How can I respond?
