![[Video] Are Catholics Superstitious? A Biblical Defense of Relics, Icons, and Sacred Objects](https://i0.wp.com/kennyburchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/maxresdefault-2.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1)
You’ve probably heard the critique before: Catholics are superstitious when they touch their rosaries to relics, pray before a monstrance containing the Eucharist, or venerate icons. Critics claim this is nothing more than Catholic “hocus pocus” that proves we’re idolaters who’ve abandoned biblical Christianity. But what if I told you that using physical objects as…
I grew up in an irreligious family. It’s not that my parents didn’t have religious beliefs; they did. They both grew up in nominally Catholic families but rejected their Catholic faith in their early teens. My dad eventually came to believe that religious people were mostly superstitious idiots, and my mom — on the other…

Everyone has reflexes and automatic responses and even triggers in response to physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual inputs. In this drive-time monologue, I share what I am calling the “Protestant Reflex.” That is, the automatic response that most Protestants have when discussing theological ideas with Catholics. As someone who spent 33 years in Protestantism and…
![[Video] Ex-Catholics & Anti-Catholics Presenting as Expert Catholics | A Drive-Time Monologue](https://i0.wp.com/kennyburchard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/sddefault-4.jpg?fit=640%2C480&ssl=1)
It happens every day in conversations, social media exchanges, and even in media publications; an ex-Catholic, believing (and insisting) that by virtue of their personal experience with Catholicism, presents himself or herself as an expert in discussions about Catholicism. In this drive-time monologue, I propose a different way of understanding what may be happening with…
Below is a list of 35 things that every Protestant and/or Evangelical Christian I have ever met would agree are true. And, before you read the list of 35 things, please note that the following three things are true about every single one of them: There is not a single verse anywhere in the Bible…

This seemed like a good way to get content out the door vs. trying to do an entire video production with edits, etc. The genre here is a “Drive Time Monologue,” but I invite the listener to imagine a scenario in which we are driving together. Perhaps my passenger is a Catholic who wants to…

One of the Catholic ministries that has meant the most to me and my family on our journey into the fulness of the Christian Faith is the Coming Home Network launched by Marcus Grodi in the late 1990s. The Mission of CHN is “to help non-Catholic Christians, clergy, and laity, discover the truth and beauty…

I recently had an opportunity to join a new friend and fellow Catholic convert, K. Albert Little on his podcast called The Cordial Catholic.
