let_go_let_God Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 There needs to be some women apologists. That or it's time to do some funky work with the eye liner... God bless- LGLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Also, I find most apologists need a better grounding in Philosophy. Justification from Scripture is important when encountering Protestants, but so is being grounded in Reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groo the Wanderer Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Dont forget: ya aint there to convert someone or win an argument. If you go that approach you will fail. All you can do is plant the seeds. The Holy Spirit will do the rest in His time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherie Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 This DOES bring up an interesting point, though. Why are all the well-known Catholic apologists [i]men?[/i] I'm not a feminist at all, but doesn't it seem kinda, well, odd? Where are the women!?!?

tnavarro61 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I cannot grow beards. Therefore, I cannot be an apologist. What's unfair is that..why can't I grow a beard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
