A Protestant's Case for Catholicism

Meet my alter ego, Catholic Austin. In this video, he'll argue for the Catholic Church from reason, history, Scripture, and experience in what is, to date, my most extensive steel-manning of the Catholic position. This video was super interesting for me to make as I tried my best to articulate the Catholic position in a way that is fair and robust. As I state at the beginning, they say that you don't really know your own position until you can argue for the other side. This is precisely that. Oh, and as Catholic Austin says, be sure to support Austin on Patreon.
