Video Description:
A Protestant mother and son challenge Sam Shamoun on Catholic teaching—but what happens when their objections are tested against Scripture and early Christian history?
This wide-ranging conversation examines baptism by pouring, sacred images, biblical relics, prayer to the saints, Mary as our spiritual mother and Queen Mother, confession to a priest, Church authority, bishops and apostolic Christianity.
Watch until the end as Sam introduces Ignatius of Antioch and reveals what the earliest Christians believed about bishops, the Eucharist and the Catholic Church.
