Escaping the Argument Clinic: When Faith Debates Go Nowhere (#362)

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Greg shares a listener's email from Dylan, whose honest conversation with his former Calvinist pastor turned into a one-sided barrage of critiques without real engagement. Drawing from his own Protestant past, Greg explores why so many Catholic-Protestant debates devolve into unconstructive patterns, using the hilarious Monty Python "Argument Clinic" sketch (https://youtu.be/ohDB5gbtaEQ?si=vjz-JsE0vZ18zDqH) as a spot-on illustration and real-life examples like misconceptions about justification, the Mass, and Mary. He breaks down the difference between valid and persuasive arguments, offering practical, charitable advice on how to respond, when to step back, and how to pray for unity while staying rooted in Catholic orthodoxy. Perfect for anyone investigating the faith or dealing with tough family talks, this episode encourages focusing on what draws you closer to Christ amid the noise.
