Ep. 153: A Candid Q&A About Catholicism—Part 2 (with Pastor Rick Witmer)

24 Jun 2026 · 1 h 46 min · S3 E153

In our Part 1 of this series, we answered common questions about Catholicism from the Catholic perspective with help from a Catholic priest. In Part 2, we’re sharing answers from a Protestant viewpoint.The number one question I get asked from Catholics is, “We seem so aligned on a lot of topics, so why aren’t you Catholic?”We answer this question and so many more in this episode—particularly focusing on the biblical passages on which we are basing our beliefs and convictions. (You’ll find all those references below!)We also highlight the key theological differences that mean our answers must diverge from the Catholic stance.We pray this episode is a blessing and an encouragement to all who listen/watch, and we’re so glad you’re here, regardless of where you fall in this discussion.
