As a former Roman Catholic of Italian descent, Dr. Fernandes knows the challenges and strugles of leaving a church that is, for some, such a large part of culture. Speaking on this topic last year, Dr. Fernandes dealt mainly with the doctrinal differences. In this seminar, Dr. Fernandes looks at the challenges of witnessing to Catholics for whom Catholicism isn't just a belief but a cultural norm and a part of life. He points out that the heavy handed tatics of some Christian apologists are not necessarily the best way to deal with exposing Catholics to the problems inherent in Catholicism and their need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Very encouraging I really appreciated the irenic spirit displayed in this message, as well as the open, honest transparency of the speaker. On top of that, he has some great strategies for reaching our Catholic neighbors for Christ. Only bad part: has too many nice things to say about Dave Hunt. (ha,ha)
