Babies killed on orders from King Herod.

Scripture tells us that in King Herod's attempt to kill Jesus, he had all babies in and around Bethlehem murdered. In this episode of The Download, hosts Bradley Eli, Rodney Pelletier and Kyle Kopy discuss these victims of infanticide, known as the Holy Innocents. They should be invoked as patron saints of the pro-life movement.

Sola scriptura is a lie.

How does anyone know the Bible is inspired? The actual working of the Holy Spirit?

Not one single book in the Bible claims that of itself. So why do a couple billion Christians believe that (at least ostensibly)? There's only one reason. Very few people have actually thought more than 10 seconds about it.

When Church Militant was originally founded back in 2006, it was to help Catholics come to a greater love and appreciation of the Faith. That hasn't changed at all.

Three years into that mission, we encountered massive evil and corruption in the hierarchy and quickly realized that evil, that lack of supernatural faith, was a detriment to people's embrace of the Faith.

So we added to our already considerable theological arsenal news, reporting and investigations to help people come to understand how the corruption of the hierarchy was impacting their own spiritual lives.

That said, we never want to waver from what I would call our "core programming," the direct theological content. That is always available through a Premium subscription, thousands of hours and hundreds of episodes touching on practically every topic imaginable in the Faith.

We highly encourage you to sign up — it's only $10 a month, and that gives you access to a vast storehouse not available anywhere else.

So, in the spirit of our core mission, we are providing this episode for free to help you understand concretely, so you can tell others, where the Bible came from, why we believe it's inspired.

Again, we highly encourage you to sign up today for direct access to all of our theological content.
