I'm actually a new convert from a non-denominational church. I'm going through RCIA right now and I'm writing a series of apologetic papers as a response to the questions I've been getting from my protestant friends. This video has been great on information for defending the Papacy. I would love to read the full book!

[annastanghelle]

I would love to get this book because I am the only Catholic in my family. I became part of the Catholic Church in May this year. I have loved to follow Joe on the Catholic podcast the last two years. Love from Norway.

Matt Fradd: "If pope Francis, today, denied Christ three times, there would be a lot going on on Taylor Marshal's youtube channel."

I immediately burst into laughter!! :D
Btw., great job covering this unfortunately still taboo topic, especially with recent happenings in the Chruch... Brotherly hugs from Croatia!

Bar-rabbas. Son of the father. I literally caught my breath. Why didn’t my Protestant upbringing prepare me for that? Best subscription I’ve ever bought.

[aadamy]

I’d post this in social media but you’re the one who convinced me to get off social media!!!

[ellesalvalaggio]

Fantastic interview, thank you! I am on a journey back to the Catholic Faith after spending many years indifferent and videos like these are so helpful to build a deeper understanding of the faith! God Bless!

I walked into a baptist university and walked out a catholic, glory be to Jesus Christ

[crystellesaleh]

LOVE THIS TALK! Blessings from Beirut 😊🙏🏻 pray for me please, that i might one day come to the US to study Theology at Steubenville and get that “Christianity and Judaism in Antiquity” PhD from Notre Dame!

This is the best time to became Catholics. The Church needs faithful servants of God who are ready to help in this period of crisis. I returned to Catholicism on January 28th 2022 after a 42-year journey, and could not have been happier.

I am currently trying to become a Catholic tried doing the RCIA but I had some scheduling issues along with this pandemic and trying to stay charitable to my wife that is a little more concerned about it than I am. I talked with the deacon and decided to wait till the following year.

I am very interested in this book. I dont have the social media to post the video on or I would.

I appreciate you guys (Matt and Joe) answering some of my questions. I read Joe's book when it came out, so was happy to catch this stream live.

[RicardoReyes]

There's so much to unpack in this video, almost like a movie which you have to watch a couple of times to get the full understanding. I think I've watched this three times now and I keep discovering new information. Joe Heschmeyer is extremely knowledgeable and I love watching his videos where he debates or provides answers to things such as the papacy or anything else.

[NatesPherd]

One of the teens in our small group was asking about this just last week. Good timing! Thanks for the great conversation and covering this topic.

[revnpb]

Joe's book is surely the most helpful piece of shameless popery i have come across to date. If we understand the papacy properly we begin to see what a great gift we have been blessed with in the doctrine of infallibility. Such assurance is sadly not accessible for outsiders but we must thank The Lord for inspiring Joe to put this in such lucid presentation for all.

My attention span is usually limited...but I have to say..at the end of this I was actually saying
"it's over..already"
That's how much I enjoyed this! I'm definitely in need of this book...I'm then going to be wishing for vol. 2...thank you!

[pandachannel]

I am following as much as I can of my time on your discussions on different topics especially that I am a student. I find it amusing that there are Catholics like you who are extensive in propagating the Faith. God bless youu and your channel. ☺️ Also, would really love to have that book.

[jen]

Thank you, Mr. Heschmeyer, for your book and interview. Much needed during this time of confusion. Many Catholics need a better understanding of the Magisterium and glad to see you and others ensuring we get that education we desperately need.

[Ev-mknl]

Many many thanks for this interview. I am a fairly recent convert. Went to tradition for the devotion I observed there. But realized that the picture is incomplete. I have found ALL my missing answers with this interview. Thanks again

[ultimouomo]

I've been a fan of Joe's website, "Shameless Popery, " for a long time. He's a brilliant writer and apologist. So glad he decided to write the book.

[mabinkerd]

This talk was extremely helpful especially with helping to describe papal infallibility. To be honest, even as a Cradle Catholic, I only recently was introduced to this term. Understanding that this does not mean the Pope cannot sin or “do no wrong” is very critical. Thanks to both of you! Love this show! I think the Catholic community is very blessed to be able to have these types of resources & engaging discussions of our Faith at our fingertips! Thank you 🙏 for all you do in fostering the faith for others! ❤️
