Tim Staples is one of the first apologists I ever heard; and this was before I knew what the word "apologist" meant. He's awesome!

[ashwith]

I've never seen Tim Staples use such technical language before. It shows his brilliance as an apologist that he has the art to keep the language simple, without the technical language and still articulate everything accurately so that us common folk can understand. I loved this episode. My appreciation for Tim Staples has grown several times now!

I'm not catholic but was meant to meet with the local Father at the Catholic Church today. He had a funeral so I wasn't able to meet with him.

One of my lines of question was actually this particular topic so I'm really thankful for your videos that explain the Catholic perspectives on things - especially when they differ so much from protestant views.

Hi Matt, I wanted to thank you for this video. I tried watching it a few days ago, but got distracted and turned it off. Early this morning, I remembered the video and watched the entire thing. Who knew that I was being “prepped” for a debate about our Blessed Mother later in the day. This evening I got into a heated debate with a family member who said we Catholics idolize Mary. I could go into detail about the debate, but I’ll save us all the time. Because I had literally just watched this video, I had a plethora of knowledge to throw at him. He tried to argue, but eventually just gave up. A few years ago, I don’t think I would have been able to give a solid argument. I felt like a Marian warrior! Thank you so very much for helping me win my first Marian battle. 🙏🏼

I learned recently that there is a dispensation in some Lutheran traditions to pray the rosary, and that Luther didn't reject most of the Catholic Marian dogmas.

Im a protestant and while this channel hasn't come that close to convincing me that catholicism is correct, it has been a major factor in my position that Catholics are our brothers and sisters in christ

[juliesherwood]

Fabulous interview. I’m not Catholic but am loving this new reality for me re “The Holy Mother”. I had no idea....

[fabricpixie]

love the energy and excitement in Tim's voice! His knowledge is astounding

[baileyvanblarcom]

i love our Queen of heaven and earth!!! Blessed be the name of Mary, virgin and mother of God. Ave Maria! <3

[pokeslob]

I’m a Protestant Christian currently wrestling with catholic teaching as this has been extremely helpful to clarify things for me. Not sure I’m totally sold on the sinlessness yet, but I’m grateful for this nonetheless! (Btw, Protestants can say Theotokos with no issue, if we just think it through haha)

Thank you both so much

[paularmbrust]

On the subject of the immaculate conception. What I've come to understand, of how Mary could be born without stain of sin, has to do with the shaping of obedience to the laws handed down through generations. For us who were not conceived of the holy spirit in our natural birth, holiness is a study and a practice, eventually practice makes perfect. When you learn the importance of sound teaching and modeling from a psychological point, you begin to see how holiness is easier to walk in when consistently taught and modeled, and in this way you can see how when maintained through generations there is a building of perfection that happens. So, to me it's not that God made Mary without sin, but that Mary was the fruit of the redemptive process God had begun after the fall by bringing in his precepts and law, and his people learning from their experience of trusting and walking well with God, and the times they did not

[morganandinggomes]

This is SO so so gold. I love it. Thank you for addressing this!

[johnsoukup]

Thanks Tim for wearing the Spirit 102.7 shirt!

[JPGoertz]

This is an interview for the ages. Thank you Matt and Tim. Just found it now and sending it to a dozen friends. Praying an Ave Maria for both of you (two ;-)...

I came into the Catholic Church by the prompting of the Holy Spirit. But it took me forever to look into and be convinced of the Marian dogmas. God got me into the church (and to the Blessed Sacrament) but took his time revealing point by point that these things were 100% true. I never would have denied or refuted, I just kind of ignored the doctrines as if it was unimportant either way. Tim Staples and Scott Hahn were key to God revealing His truth to me in His time.
