This year on the SSPX podcast and on the SSPX YouTube account, we're doing the definitive series on apologetics.

When you hear apologetics, you might think that it's only about convincing non-Catholics that the Catholic faith is worthy of belief.

But it's much more than that.

A good study of apologetics will deepen your own faith as a Catholic.

So this series will help you to be apostolic, to defend and to promote the Catholic faith.

But along the way, we will show how faith and reason work hand in hand,

and we'll start at the very beginning with reason itself.

We'll ask questions like, what is truth?

How do we know things?

Can anything be known at all?

Once we establish that we can know things, can we know that there's a God? Can we know that we have a

soul? And can we know for sure that it is immortal? Once we know this, then we need to see if it's

rational that we practice a religion, any religion at all. Which then begs the question.

Then how do we practice it? Is there a right way or a wrong way? Next we'll look at the scriptures, the Old Testament, and we'll investigate

the person of Jesus Christ. Was he God? Can reason tell us he was? And if he is God, how best do we

worship him? Next we'll need to look at what Christ left behind. The apostles, certainly, but how did the Catholic Church start?

And is it still upholding what Christ told us to do?

Is there any conflict between Scripture and the Catholic Church, as many would claim?

What about veneration of the saints and our lady?

All of the above is traditional apologetics.

It's what hundreds of thousands, millions of Catholics studied over the last few hundred years,

and for them, they didn't really need any more.
