Ep. #122 - Is Purgatory a True Christian Doctrine? w/ Karlo Broussard

Is Purgatory a true Christian doctrine? What is the Scriptural evidence for Purgatory? Is there support for aspects of Purgatory in other religious traditions? What did the early Church teach about Purgatory? Doesn't a typical Catholic argument for Purgatory commit a logical fallacy? Karlo Broussard joins us to answer these questions and more. Karlo Broussard is a staff apologist and speaker for Catholic Answers. He travels the country giving talks on apologetics, the Bible, theology, and philosophy. Karlo holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology, and a masters in philosophy from Holy Apostles College. He’s the author of several books including Prepare the Way, Meeting the Protestant Challenge, and a new book on Purgatory which is the subject of today’s interview. The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others. John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/support
