0:00.0	Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.
0:10.3	Recently Mike Winger responded to a rebuttal I did of him a while back, and he focused

0:19.8	I'm not going to go through everything he said in his reply because I have a pretty

1:23.5	on Winger's critique of what I said about earning versus mariting salvation.
1:29.4	Since that seems to be one of his biggest objections.
