Catholic Answers School of Apologetics: Defending the Saints Online Course

Description
After the Marian doctrines, the Catholic doctrine of the intercession of the saints may elicit more challenges from Protestants than any other topic.
Doesn’t the Bible say we’re all saints?
How can the saints possibly hear the prayers of everyone on earth?
Isn’t praying to dead saints not only idolatrous, but also the unbiblical practice of necromancy?
If Jesus is the “one mediator between God and men” (1 Tim. 2:5), isn’t it wrong to ask the saints to mediate for us with God?
Catholics believe that the souls of those who were saved by Jesus not only live forever in his presence, but that we who are still on earth have fellowship with them. This sense of solidarity with all those who live in Christ is ancient and unbroken—but it’s also a source of confusion and sometimes even hostility for non-Catholic Christians.
In this course Defending the Saints, Karlo explains this beautiful Catholic teaching in a way that’s easy to understand and share, with solid biblical arguments dispelling many myths about our belief and practice regarding the saints.

![In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
He explores in depth the Church as “the fullness of [Jesus Christ]” (Eph. 1:22-23) in the world as a foundation to understanding its divine authority.
He shows how the Church is visible, hierarchical, and authoritative—as opposed to the invisible, fallible church of Protestantism.
He reveals why Jesus chose not to “name” his Church but rather gave it four unmistakable marks.
He explains the scriptural doctrine of apostolic succession, the foundational teaching of the Christian faith that has been lost to countless Protestant Christians.
He calls upon Eastern Catholicism’s concept of theosis as a key to understanding many of the Church’s most controversial claims.
Throughout, he makes what was once difficult to understand surprisingly easy.
This course comprises more than fifty short, easy-to-watch video segments so you can study at your own pace, revisit what you would like, and make sure you understand the material thoroughly.
Evidence for the Church will equip you to defend Holy Mother Church and to bring souls to Jesus Christ through the institution he established on Earth.](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-smelw44hfe/images/stencil/350x350/products/1921/4120/Online_Evidence_for_the_Church___97646.1606340916.jpg?c=2 "In his Catholic Answers School of Apologetics course, Evidence for the Church, Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples shares hard-won insights into the apologetics of ecclesiology that will empower you to defend the Catholic Church to anyone.
