September 30, 2020 By K. Albert Little

When I was first looking into the prospect of becoming a Catholic I thought I was, in all likelihood, the only one who’d ever made the jump from Evangelical Christianity into the Roman Catholic Church. Surely, I thought, no one else has done such a bizarre thing. So when I opened up Google, typed in, “Evangelicals becoming Catholic,” and hit RETURN, the search results were nothing short of shocking. As it turns out, lots of Evangelical Christians became Catholic. Converts… Read more

What insights do the Old and New Testaments give us into the Mass? What was God foreshadowing with the sacrificial system and the Temple in the Old Testament?

August 23, 2020 By K. Albert Little

OK, cheeky title aside, good apologetics is never about winning an argument but rather about moving hearts and winning souls. In 1 Peter 3:15, the apostle writes, always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.
