Episode notes
Trent Responds with Mario Play
- Trent responds to Redeemed Zoomer's critiques of Catholicism while playing Super Mario World.
- He chooses Mario because he grew up in the 1980s and finds Minecraft unfamiliar.
Contradictions in Faith Rules
- Both Catholicism and Redeemed Zoomer struggle with alleged contradictions in their infallible rules of faith.
- Catholics face contradictions diachronically (across history), Protestants synchronically (across scripture).

- The Church teaches salvation comes only through Christ and His Church but allows for God's extraordinary means to save the invincibly ignorant.
- Apparent doctrinal contradictions harmonize objective salvation and God's merciful provision for those outside visible Church.
