    #239 The Only Argument For Catholicism You’ll Ever Need
    Jan 6 2026
    After Joe’s debate with LDS apologist Jacob Hansen, there’s been a lot of chatter on the topic of the Great Apostasy. Joe breaks down why this can’t be true from both an LDS and a Protestant perspective. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer.
