Dr. Karlo

In this episode, Karlo Broussard responds to thinkers like Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, challenging the claim that evolution’s randomness eliminates the need for God by showing that chance actually presupposes an underlying order or design. Drawing on classical philosophy and Thomas Aquinas, I argue that evolutionary processes can fit within divine providence, rather than undermine it.

Dr. Karlo features a crossover conversation unpacking the biblical case for baptism’s role in salvation, responding to common objections and highlighting its connection to forgiveness, new life, and union with Christ.

Does James White’s appeal to Hebrews 10:14 really disprove the Catholic claim that the Mass is the same sacrifice as Calvary? In this episode, Karlo Broussard breaks down his argument and show how shifting definitions of “perfection” actually undermine his case and reveal a deeper harmony between Scripture and the Catholic understanding of the Mass.

If Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is fully sufficient, does purgatory contradict it—or reveal how its power is applied? In this episode, Karlo Broussard breaks down the “ultimate insult” objection and show how Scripture and theology point to purgatory as participation in Christ’s work, not a denial of it.

Does 1 Corinthians 4:6—“Do not go beyond what is written”—undermine the Catholic appeal to Sacred Tradition? In this episode, I show why the context of Paul's writings and the broader New Testament actually point the other way, revealing that apostolic teaching was handed on both in writing and by word of mouth.

Some Protestants argue that Paul’s letter to the Galatians shows Peter was just one leader among many—not the first pope. In this episode, I explain why Galatians 2:6 and 2:9 don’t undermine Peter’s unique role and actually make good sense within the broader biblical case for the papacy.

If Jesus “paid it all” on the Cross, why would Christians need to do penance—especially during Lent? In this episode, we unpack the common objection, walk through St. Thomas Aquinas’s explanation of participation in Christ’s Passion, and look at Colossians 1:24 to show why penance doesn’t undermine the sufficiency of the Cross—but actually flows from it.

Dr. Karlo Broussard discusses where Catholics often misstep when debating justification with Protestants—especially by muddying stages, terms, and the grace–works relationship—and how clearer biblical and Tridentine framing leads to more fruitful dialogue.

In this episode, Dr. Karlo Broussard refutes four counterarguments, showing they fail to undermine his interpretation of 1 John 5:13 or support the doctrine of eternal security.

In this episode, Dr. Karlo Broussard chats with Adrian Lawson from Sips with Serra about where Catholics go wrong when critiquing Sola Scriptura.

Dr. Karlo Broussard answers critics by explaining why occasional failure or poor practice doesn’t justify giving up apologetics, while emphasizing the need to do it well and charitably.

Dr. Karlo argues that apologetics should not be abandoned, because reasoned arguments—alongside love and prayer—remain essential for defending the faith, leading people to truth, and helping others share fully in the spiritual goods of the Catholic Church.
