One of the foremost and widely recognized Roman Catholic apologists, Patrick Madrid, published Answer Me This! "to provide factual, convincing answers to people's questions about Catholicism." Upon inspection, we find his answers to be neither factual nor convincing. What Madrid has demonstrated for us, rather, is the typical approach of a Roman Catholic apologist: to overwhelm the ignorant and the naïve with sweeping claims, historical glosses and logical leaps that crumble under even modest scrutiny. When subjected to sober investigation, the Roman religion is exposed for the novelty it clearly is.Throughout his arguments, Madrid criticizes the inquirer for not being familiar with Scripture and history. Yet, it is Madrid who is ignorant-misreading and misunderstanding the source material, overplaying his hand and outrunning his coverage at every turn.
