Where Is That in the Bible? (And Other Questions for People Who Can’t Find the Remote)
"Where is that in the Bible?" It’s the ultimate Protestant mic-drop. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card played during every Thanksgiving dinner when your Uncle Bob decides to take a swing at Purgatory or the Papacy. It’s the rhetorical equivalent of asking someone for their ID at a bar, if you don't have […]
Catholic Church and Science: 10 Things You Should Know Before You Start a Debate
"Religion is just a fairy tale for people who are scared of science." Really? That’s the line we’re still using? It’s 2026, and somehow the "Conflict Thesis", the idea that the Church and Science are locked in a cage match to the death, still has better PR than reality. It’s lazy. It’s historically illiterate. And […]
7 Mistakes You’re Making with Catholic History (and Why Constantine Didn’t Actually Invent the Church)
"Constantine invented the Catholic Church." It’s the ultimate "mic-drop" for people who haven't opened a history book since high school. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card for anyone trying to argue that the early Church was a loose collection of hippie communes until a Roman Emperor decided to turn it into a political […]
Dinosaurs, the Big Bang, and the Church That Nodded Along: A 3-Minute Crash Course in Catholic Science
“The Catholic Church is against science.” That slogan has been running on fumes for a while. Yes, there have been Catholic mistakes, bad arguments, nervous theologians, and at least one famous Galileo-shaped mess. But the popular story, that the Church spent two thousand years hiding from dinosaurs, banning curiosity, and yelling at the Big Bang, […]
Catholic Apologetics 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Mastering Arguments That Actually Work
Stop trying to "win" arguments. Seriously.

Contraception: An Equal or Greater Evil than Abortion?
Many people argue that abortion is the greatest evil in our society. I take a slightly different view. I believe that contraception is an equal, if not even greater, evil than abortion is.

Young Earth Creationism vs. Old Earth Evolution: The Catholic Position.
God is Love. He perfect, omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnibenevolent (all good). Being Love in his very essence, he gives freely of himself to another, for the sake of the other, expecting nothing in return. God created us precisely because He is Love, and desired to share himself with us freely, expecting nothing in return. In those […]

The Anti-Pornography Renaissance: Non-Theistic Reasons To Go “Fapless”
I grew up in the era of dial-up internet, and I remember many of my friends touting the blessings of high-speed internet.
