In this Sunday’s liturgy—the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time—we hear the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, found in Matthew’s gospel chapter 20. As is the case with all of Jesus’s parables, this one is interesting and filled with layers of meaning.

33-Responding to Wes Huff's Reasons for Rejecting the Papacy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wes Huff released a video some time in the past in which he gave six reasons for why he's not "Roman Catholic." One of those reasons is his rejection of papal supremacy. In this video, I debunk his claims and show that he does not fairly and adequately evaluate the evidence in Scripture and in the early centuries of the Church.

32-Catholic Guilt? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This episode discusses the concept of “catholic guilt.” Maybe, as a Catholic and Christian, you feel guilty for past sins. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? On the other hand, maybe you’ve heard someone accuse Catholics of feeling guilty for past sins because they don’t have enough faith in Christ’s mercy. These are some of the things we’ll discuss.

31-Responding to Redeemed Zoomer's BIGGEST Reason for why he's not Catholic! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The voice you heard at the beginning is Richard Ackerman, known as Redeemed Zoomer. He is a Presbyterian and has a large YouTube channel with about 700 thousand subscribers. In this episode, I respond to what he says is his biggest reason for why he’s not Catholic. By the way, this episode is an audio version of a video I produced on my own YouTube channel. So, if you want to watch that video and see some of the quotes I provide from Church Father’s and saints, you can go to YouTube and find it.
