5 Hours Investigating the Strongest Miracle Evidence for Catholicism (Ethan Muse) | Ep. 581
6/1/20265 hr 6 min
Ethan Muse is here to make watertight arguments for how the Marian apparitions of Fatima, the stigmata of Padre Pio, and the Lanciano Eucharistic miracle, each naturalistically inexplicable, collectively vindicate the core doctrines of Catholicism, such that rejecting all of them as fraud, coincidence, or demonic deception becomes increasingly implausible.

Colorado is trying to silence free speech again. A state law forces businesses to use customers' preferred pronouns, even if they're biologically inaccurate. With the help of Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian bookstore and a sports apparel company are challenging the law, but a court recently ruled against them. They appealed the ruling, and with ADF's help, they'll keep fighting another attempt by Colorado to skirt the First Amendment. Learn more about how you can support free speech by texting WIRE to eight three eight four eight or going to joinADF.com/wire.

So in this kinda like clickbait age, I don't know, people, I think, are maybe justifiably really skeptical before somebody talks about miracles.
Ethan Muse· Guest0:38
The vast majority of claims about miracles are false, which is not unexpected. There's a lot of incentive to invent miracle stories.
Matt Fradd· Host0:48
I wanna get on to whether or not miracles could be demonic deceptions.
Ethan Muse· Guest0:52
In addition to proving that something is naturalistically inexplicable, we also need to use spiritual discernment to preclude a demonic explanation. It's entirely reasonable to think that maybe demons are involved.
Matt Fradd· Host1:03
I want you to address those people who are impressed somewhat by what you've laid out today, but because they have, you know, issues with Catholic doctrine, they can't bring themselves to accept it.
Ethan Muse· Guest1:14
Tell me how that's possible- Hmm ... and make it sound plausible. You're gonna have to say it five more times for the rest of my Eucharistic miracles. Then you're gonna have to say it for all the Padre Pio stuff we just talked about. Then you're gonna have to say it for Lucia. Then you're gonna have to say it about Lourdes. Then you're gonna have to say it about Guadalupe, and I'm gonna continue going all day long, and how many of these are you willing to posit?
