  “I want to go with what the first Christians believe.” Literally. Wow. This was me about a month or so ago. It started with more in depth questions and then me asking well...the Catholics put together all of these books that I have—even though 7 are missing so why not go down the line. Ultimately, I just want to please God to how I was intended to. I want to serve Him.

  Thank you Trent Horn for the work you do for the Catholic church! You have been a true blessing, and I believe you will be known as one of the great thinkers of our time!

  My experience has been (I'm 72 years old and a convert to Catholicism in 1970) that not only Scripture but an explanation of history is needed to put all in context. We Americans are poor about history and many non- Catholic denominations are poor in or distorted history.

  "...love, at last, is always the winning argument." Trent is an effective apologist not because he's knowledgeable and brilliant, not because he speaks truth with confidence, and not because he's very  down to earth, but it's because he speaks with love and humility.

  I was also a protestant until I read the writings of the ancient Church fathers such St Ignatius of Antioch, St Polycarp etc. ”Protestantism” was just a result of a confused and proud man, the most praised heretic of all ages Martin Luther. In short, protestantism is of the devil. I do not agree with Mr Trent’s all positions(except this presentation) but I think he’s done a very good job. Only the grace of God can make a protestant and of course with his/her cooperation to be drawn near to to God and His Church, the Holy Roman Catholic Church which was founded upon the rock of St Peter and the apostles. Imagine, how much loss would a well known protestant preacher experience( ie Friends, job, fame etc) if he/she converted to the Catholic faith. It also takes humility to find God and His Church.

  Because they took notice that there&apos;s a large numbers of their ministry who&apos;s converting to catholicism because of the church fathers, they had to distort it.

  I’m glad Trent clarified when the immaculate conception was formally defined here at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ95ql0BU3E&amp;t=1142">19:02</a>
