  • Dr. Karlo is Intellectual, but Accessable

    I appreciate his breakdown of Catholic arguments. He doesn’t stoop to treating complex ideas like they are too much for the average person, but he doesn’t talk above people’s heads either. Great job!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#011 God Talk: Reason, Arguments for God, and the Problem of Evil - Karlo Broussard
Q: Is it possible for God to know counterfactuals or is He limited to what is actualized by His will?
From the Thomist perspective discussed, God knows what is actual insofar as He wills it to be actual, and counterfactual knowledge is treated as possible rather than actual; some commentators deny God's knowledge of counterfactuals, while others think God can consider such possibilities as part of the divine mind, but not as actualized outcomes unless they are willed by God.
#011 God Talk: Reason, Arguments for God, and the Problem of Evil - Karlo Broussard
Q: What is your stance on the Thomistic contingency argument versus the Leibnizian contingency argument?
Aquinas' third way and the Thomistic contingency argument focus on beings with beginnings and argue that an everlasting or necessary being must exist; Leibnizian contingency emphasizes why there is something rather than nothing and is treated as related but not identical to the Thomistic approach, with the guest noting openness to evaluating new analytic approaches while maintaining the core idea that there must be a grounding source beyond contingent beings.
#023 Does the Bible Teach Baptism Saves? - Karlo Broussard
Q: If faith precedes baptism, how does that relate to justification?
Faith often serves as a preceding gift from God that leads to baptism, which then communicates the grace of justification and interior renewal, making baptism the instrument by which one is made right with God.
#023 Does the Bible Teach Baptism Saves? - Karlo Broussard
Q: Can you explain why baptism is tied to salvation in John 3:5 and its context?
Baptism is understood as part of the broader born-again discourse where water and Spirit together constitute the new birth, a sacramental interpretation supported by surrounding biblical context and Jewish-Christian baptismal expectations.
