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

Hey everyone, in today's episode I want to comment on a video I saw featuring Father

Casey Cole that said some things I found to be very troubling.

I don't consider today's video a rebuttal, per se, but more of a reflection on some things

Father Casey said about the historicity of the Gospels.

So it's possible that Father Casey and I may be closer on the issue than it seems, depending

on how one interprets what he's saying.

By the way, if you don't know Father Casey Cole is a Franciscan friar, has a popular YouTube

channel.

He reaches a lot of people, so that's why I don't want them to get the wrong idea about

the historical foundation of our faith from something he said in a recent video.

Also today's video is a nice follow up to my dialogue with Godless Engineer last week

on the historical reliability of Luke's Gospel.

So if you haven't seen that episode yet, definitely check it out.

And of course, check out our premium community at Trenthornpodcast.com where you get access

to our full 18 hour Catechism Study Series, New Testament Study Series, if you want to dive

deeper into these subjects.

Alright, now for some context.

In his original video, Father Casey was offering a criticism of a television series called

The Chosen, which is a dramatization of the life of Christ.

I haven't seen the series myself, so I don't have any thoughts on it, but Father Casey seems

to like it except for one particular way it portrays the disciples of Jesus.
