    #82 The Bible in Jesus’ Day: How Different Was It? - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 20 2024
    Joe Heschmeyer explores what constituted Sacred Scripture in the time of Jesus. Transcription: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. What did the Bible look like at the time of Jesus? That’s the question I want to explore today. Did it look more or less like the Bibles that we have carrying around our bone, personal KJV or RSV or ESV or NAB or whatever, or did it look radically different than that? And I think we’re going to find out the answer is it looks radically different and in some ways that are really important for how we make sense of the Bible itself. I want to start by j…

    May 30 2024
    Joe Heschmeyer picks apart a popular 101 video on Martin Luther’s revolt, pointing out many painfully common factual inaccuracies. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. So we’re talking about the reformation, particularly the beginning of the Reformation with Martin Luther. I think a lot of people feel like they have a pretty good grip on the basic story, and the basic story tends to go something like this. On October the 31st of 1517, a Catholic monk and priest named Martin Luther nailed 95 theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg, German…

    May 23 2024
    In this episode, Joe Heschmeyer explores the historical evidence surrounding 2 Kings 19 and the mysterious destruction of the Assyrian armies. Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Hess Meyer. So I want to start with a strange passage from the Old Testament. It’s Isaiah 37, verse 36, and it says that the angel of the Lord went forth and slew 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians. And when men arose early in the morning, behold these were all dead bodies. Then Rab King of Assyria departed and went home and dwelt at Nineveh. So this is a strange passage for a number…

  • #77 What Protestants Get Wrong about the Temple Veil - Joe Heschmeyer

    #77 What Protestants Get Wrong about the Temple Veil - Joe Heschmeyer
    May 16 2024
    Protestants sometimes object that we shouldn’t (or at least don’t need to) ask the Saints and angels for their prayers, since we can go directly to God. After all, they argue, the Temple veil that once impeded our access to God is now torn… right? That argument, which is also used against the Catholic priesthood, misinterprets this critical moment in the New Testament (and ignores the quite different way that the Epistle to the Hebrews interprets the same event). So what does it mean to say that the veil is now torn? Transcription: Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m …

    #76 A New Argument for Praying to the Saints - Joe Heschmeyer
    May 9 2024
    Asking Mary and the Saints to pray for us might seem (at best) inefficient or (at worst) like it undermines the sovereignty of God. But here’s an argument you may not have heard before about how the sovereignty of God is **better** revealed in the intercessory role of the saints and angels. Transcript: Welcome back to Shameless Popery, I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Today, I want to explore what is, at least to me, a new answer or a new argument that I’ve heard to a question that if you are a Catholic, I’m sure you’ve heard many times, “Why pray to Mary, why pray to th…

    The Catholic Church is no stranger to controversy and scandal, whether it be the Crusades or the Inquisition or the role of Catholics in the colonization of the New World, or more recent scandals like the sexual abuse scandal. And non-Catholics might hear about all of these things and wonder, “how can you remain Catholic despite these things?” Here are some straightforward tips about what to say in response to that question… and what NOT to say. Transcript: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. I want to discuss the issue of responding to scandal today. I’m g…
