Where Is That in the Bible? (And Other Questions for People Who Can’t Find the Remote)
"Where is that in the Bible?" It’s the ultimate Protestant mic-drop. It’s the "Get Out of Jail Free" card played during every Thanksgiving dinner when your Uncle Bob decides to take a swing at Purgatory or the Papacy. It’s the rhetorical equivalent of asking someone for their ID at a bar, if you don't have […]
Catholic Church and Science: 10 Things You Should Know Before You Start a Debate
