Authority: Part 2 Doctrine and the Church

6 Quick Facts plus one about the authority of Christ and the Church

The Case for the Gospels
The Case for the Gospels
By De Maria
As I mentioned before, a long time ago, a Muslim challenged me to provide a forensic defense of the Gospels. He claimed that compared to Islam, the Gospels had no verifiable evidence of even the existence of Jesus.

The Eucharist, the Fruit of the Tree of Life

Five facts that will make you a more effective apologist
By De Maria
Most of us don’t have time to study the Bible. We’re busy raising families and keeping our jobs. Even if we did have the time, most of us are not highly inclined to do those things.

Works of righteousness, what are they?
Works of righteousness, what are they?
By De Maria
the Catholic Church teaches that we are not literally saved by our faith and works. Our faith and works, combined, do not amount to the value of the gift of eternal life which Jesus died upon the Cross to bestow upon us. Nor can we, by our own physical effort, wash our souls of sins.
