Can A Catholic Be A Socialist? With Sam Rocha

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-r84qc-fe714b

Sam Rocha Ph.D. joins me on today’s program to discuss if a good Catholic can also be a socialist. Sam says that it is possible It was an informing conversation for me and Sam discusses some papal documents and the work of saints. He was part of a debate with Trent Horn one year ago (https://youtu.be/IOngbgfViPo) in which this was also discussed.

This is not a rehash of the debate. He defines what Socialism is from a democratic perspective. I really enjoyed our conversation. Sam is also coming out with a podcast soon that is called Folk Phenomenology. Learn more about Sam at www.samrocha.com

Trent Horn will be on the show soon to discuss the opposite view.

Answering The Cessation Of Prophecy Objection To The Deuterocanon With Gary Michuta

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-fcy5x-fe37f7

One of the objections that our Protestant friends give to the Deuterocanon, the 7 books that Catholic Bibles have and Protestants don’t, is the cessation of prophecy. This is also known as the 400 years of silence between the time of Malachi and the New Testament. Gary walks us through to show the holes in this objection, and how the Deuterocanonical books show prophecy. He also discusses Jewish sources who also claim this.

For more information about Gary visit his website www.handsonapologetics.com and listen to his daily Hands on Apologetics radio program Monday-Friday on Virgin Most Powerful Radio at 1pm EST.
