In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I talk with Pat Flynn to talk about one of the most important and fundamental questions about Catholicism: Do Catholics have a personal relationship with Christ? We also hear a bit of Pat Flynn’s fantastic conversion story out of faith and into atheism, philosophy, evangelical Christianity and finally into the Catholic Church based, in part, on the very question we tackle today. It’s a fantastic episode and I know you’ll love it…. Read more

4 Proofs for the Catholic Church in the Book of Acts
September 7, 2019 By K. Albert Little

As a non-denominational evangelical Protestant I remember sitting in pew one morning while the pastor played a video created by a member of the church. It was a short, funny video made out of Lego dramatizing the appointment of Matthias from the Book of Acts. The video followed the text from Acts but ended with a pithy, “…and he was never heard from again.” We all laughed. As evangelical Christians most of us, I would wager, had a fairly murky… Read more

Is the Catholic Church Just Another Christian Denomination?
September 6, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
As a non-denominational evangelical Christian I thought the Catholic Church was just another denomination. Just another expression of Christianity. And, for the most part, a pretty crappy and corrupt one. I thought that Catholics worshiped statues, they elevated the Virgin Mary beyond a reasonable degree, and they didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus. Not like I had, anyway. But as I began to dig into history my perspective on denominationalism and Catholicism began to change. I was shocked, in fact, to… Read more

We discuss how science points towards a creator, how and why we need to be careful with relying too much on science to back up our faith, and… Read more

She’s gone on to receive an MA in Dogmatic Theology and now writes, speaks, and leads other in how to evangelize—especially through science. Her fantastic book is Particles of Faith. And… Read more

Here’s Why Protestant Bibles Are Too Small
August 29, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
When I had a radical conversion to Christ in high school I knew nothing about denominations or apostolic succession or the history of the Bible. So, a few days after accepting Christ I bummed a ride over to the local Christian bookstore where I picked out the coolest looking Bible I could find—a big black faux-leather Xtreme Teen Study Bible, New King James Version. So extreme it was missing an “e.” Ridiculous as the whole thing sounds now that Bible was,… Read more

The Cordial Catholic Podcast – 022: Where Did We Get the Bible From?
August 28, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast I talk with author Rod Bennett about the origins of the Bible. We dig deep – way deep – into the history of the Biblical canon. Why are some books in Catholic Bibles and not in those read by Protestants? How did those decisions get made? What role did the Early Church and the Pope play in these important decisions. We also wrestle with the question of Tradition vs. Scripture and… Read more

Are Papal Interviews on a Plane Infallible?
August 7, 2019 By K. Albert Little
0 Comments
The authority of the Catholic Church is notoriously hard to understand for non-Catholics—even many Catholics struggle to define exactly how and when the Church is exercising its authority. But one question that Catholics apologists hear often goes something like this, Well, Pope Francis said this during an interview on an airplane so isn’t that infallible Church teaching? To put it simply, no. It is not. But I can see why it can be confusing. I recently had a conversation with Catholic Answers Senior… Read more
