Welcome to a special bonus episode of The Daily Catholic Deep Dive, the show that connects the dots between the Bible, the Catechism, and the Catholic life.

Ever wonder what the fundamental differences are between the Protestant and Catholic views on biblical authority? Or how the Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura contrasts with the Catholic reliance on Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium? We even look at how historical debates over the 66-book canon of scripture tie it all together.

In this bonus episode, we take the massive amount of theological content from the recent live debate—featuring Protestant pastor Anthony Rogers defending the Westminster Confession and Catholic apologist Trent Horn defending the Church's infallible rule of faith—and weave it into a single, witty, and insightful conversation.

Do you feel lost after listening to two hours of intense theological cross-examination, rebuttals, and debates over the early Church Fathers? Join our AI hosts as they find the "Golden Thread" that ties these complex arguments together. It’s the ultimate theological synthesis for the busy Catholic soul.
