Recently, I stumbled into an organization known as the Bible Christian Society. The name is quite deceiving, sounding a little bit non-Catholic in nature, but I found the site while searching for resources on Catholic apologetics. In case you’re not familiar with the term, apologetics, it’s essentially about defense of the faith. We Catholics are accused of believing all sorts of horrific things. The truth is, if we believed what the Protestants say we do, I’d have a problem with Catholics too!

In any case, the Bible Christian Society offers a large selection of audio presentations in mp3 format, which are freely available for download. The majority of these talks are given by one gentleman, John Martignoni, who has a knack for making complex theological ideas seem very simple. These audio talks are about one hour in length, and each covers a specific topic such as the pope, Mary, Purgatory, etc. Mr. Martignoni makes his case almost exclusively with the Bible, which is perfect for defending your faith against the attacking Protestant.

We are all called to learn apologetics to some degree in order to evangelize. We could learn a thing or two about evangelization from our Protestant brothers and sisters. If you’re not into reading some of the great works of Catholic theology by the Church fathers, then these one-hour presentations are perfect for becoming better informed about where our Catholic beliefs originate.
