Defending Catholicism

Course 3 in the Defending Your Faith in a Culture of Unbelief Series

As Catholic Christians in the United States, we are challenged not only by atheists and adherents of other religions, but also by Protestants and Evangelicals who constantly misunderstand, misstate, and malign Catholicism. Many of them openly question whether Catholics are Christians and are saved, and many Catholics fall away from the Church into Evangelicalism. How can we share, explain, and defend the historic Catholic faith against Protestant and Evangelical attacks?
Mondays at 7 p.m.
