Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

My favorite people in the world are those who are intellectually honest and those who are

courageous enough to talk to those who disagree with them because they want to seek out

the truth.

Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and

Speaker, Trent Horn.

And recently I was invited onto a YouTube channel hosted by someone who exemplifies those

traits.

It was the Gospel Simplicity channel hosted by Austin Suggs and Austin has asked me, he

asked me to come on and talk about the papacy.

What's interesting is that Austin was doing previous videos, he is an evangelical Protestant,

but he's very interested in Catholicism.

In fact, he had a small YouTube channel, mostly a Protestant following, until he decided

to go to a Latin Mass.

He went to a Latin Mass, he did a video about it and it just exploded on Catholic Twitter.

Now he has a lot of Catholic followers and he's been investigating Catholicism for a while

now.

And his followers asked if he and I could have a chat.

And so we had a wonderful conversation.

He really wanted to ask about the papacy because I think he's getting towards that crucial

dividing line between Catholicism and Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy and he wanted to talk

with me about it.
