Frequently Argued Quandaries
This page collects and organizes my posts responding to common Protestant objections against Catholicism. I try to avoid (here and elsewhere) repeating arguments you can find on Catholic Answers or ChurchFathers.org.
If there is a particular objection you’d like me to respond to, or feel my answers so far fail to capture an important dimension of the challenge, please let me know! You can submit one to reformationcatholicism@substack.com
If you have a question that doesn’t fit this blog, send it along to my general theology blog, Christocentric!
