In this episode of Weighed in the Balance, Jonathan Brooks returns to Joe Heschmeyer’s “Ranking the Best and Worst Arguments Against Catholicism” — and this time, the topics cut right to the heart of Rome’s teaching. From the Immaculate Conception and Marian dogmas to indulgences and the sacrifice of the Mass, Jonathan breaks down where these doctrines came from, how they developed, and why even Catholic apologists can’t defend them consistently.

Along the way, he shows how the early church’s high view of Christ — not Mary — gave rise to legitimate theological development, while later dogmas crossed into dangerous territory. From Greek grammar in Luke 1 to Vatican II’s teaching on salvation, this episode challenges the listener to think biblically, historically, and critically about what the Church of Rome claims — and what Scripture actually says.

If you’ve ever wondered how the Reformation’s core convictions still matter today, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
