Redeemed Zoomer & Trent Horn - "Strawmen of Catholicism"

 I decided that today's blog topic would be a look at two videos. Yesterday, I watched Redeemed Zoomer's video, "Five Strawmen of Catholicism", which was similiar to a recent Trent Horn video, talking about four points that Catholics should stop making against Protestant's. RZ's video looked at five points which Protestants should stop making against Catholics.

I watched Trent's video, and then yesterday I saw RZ's video, and watched it. And both of there videos are obviously very good. I want to comment on the quality of RZ's content. He had a nice slideshow presentation, which looked nice, and he had points made on there, but did not merely rely on those points and what was written.

I also like RZ's thumbnail, and I think the thumbnail is kind of what made me watch it (which is a good thing for RZ), I included a screenshot I took of it. It shows someone saying "I went to Catholic school, I know everything", which is a common used argument used by many. But as one priest I know says, "Catholic school, does not mean anything", which is tottally true, and an argument you might here from Catholics and Former Catholics alike.

RZ's points that he raises are all very good. Just like Trent, they are common but weak or completely wrong points, raised about Catholics (by Protestants, in Trent's video) and Protestants (by Catholics, in RZ's video). I won't list both of them here, but if you are curious, check out the links to both of their videos.

Redeemed Zoomer talked about the fact that he would be researching different Christian Denominations each month. And for April he would be looking at Catholicism. He talked about he fact that they consider him a very open guy to Catholicism. In fact, later yesterday evening, I saw a video he did ranking arguments for Catholicism. In someways RZ probably knows more about Catholicism, than a lot of Catholics!

Trent is obviously a greta resource for apologetics, on a wide variety of topics. But, it is also important to see the other sides, and RZ is also a great channel. Obviously, he and Trent have worked togheter, and did a video togheter a while back. I would recomend you check out both of their channels.
