RachelB87 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hello, my name is Rachel, I'm new here. I recently went through the church RCIA program, and I still don't know what a "Catholic apologetic" is. Can one of you guys tell me? Thanks for the help!

HomeTeamFamily Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 i dont know that "Catholic apologetic" is a correct term.......however, apologetics is the art of showing truth to protestants mainly, but pretty much anyone who isnt Catholic.....im sure someone else on this board can come up with a more eloquent definition but thats the jist of it btw.....a person who uses apologetics would be known as an apologist hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 The word apologetics comes from the Greek work 'apologia', which means a verbal defense, an explanation, an answer, a reply, etc.. So basically Catholic apologetics is explaining and defending the Catholic Faith. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
