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

It's good to be back everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and

epiphany and so I hope you be ready for new episodes of the

Council of Trent podcast. I'm your host Cathay Ganser's apologist and speaker Trent

Horn and today I want to talk about some apologetic arguments and approaches I find among more traditional

Catholics that concern me because they provide relatively weak defenses of some parts of our faith. But four things before I continue with this topic.

First, I want to be clear this episode is not an attack on traditionalism or

Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass or anything like that.

I just want to point out problems related to defending the faith that I've seen among some traditionalists,

not all by any stretch of the imagination, but some.

Number two, these problems are not exclusive to people you would call traditionalists.

I've seen other people who have engaged in these kinds of errors, but I've seen it particularly among this group partly in due to their love and their fervent defense of tradition, which I'll explain shortly.

Three, I'm not saying it's wrong for Catholics, for individual Catholics,

to find these arguments persuasive.

I'm not saying that. People look at evidence in different ways

and find different things helpful for them.

If these particular arguments are helpful for your spiritual journey, praise God. I'm just saying that these arguments

have a greater likelihood of not being persuasive to many non-Catholic, and so we should

re-evaluate our use of them. And number four, please be respectful

of all traditions, especially the tradition we have here at the Council of Trend Podcast

of asking people to like this video and subscribe to the channel to help

it grow and to reach more people.
