Response to Redeem Zoomer's Arguments on Catholicism
The speaker addresses Redeem Zoomer's assertion that Catholicism is false due to perceived contradictions in the Church's teachings and the claim of an infallible magisterium. He contends that Zoomer faces a similar challenge when asserting that Scripture is the only infallible rule of faith, as critics cite contradictions within the Bible itself.
