The Texas U.S. Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico has taken an unexpected turn — into a full-blown theological debate. Talarico, a former youth pastor and Presbyterian seminary graduate, claimed Jesus never asked to be worshiped. We respond from a Catholic perspective, walking through the scriptural and traditional evidence for the divinity of Christ. From the Magi to Thomas’s confession to St. Paul’s letters, the case is airtight.

Three Reasons Why Mormonism Is Not Christianity — A Philosophical, Theological and Doctrinal Breakdown
This isn't an attack on Mormons, it's an examination of Mormon teachings. When you apply basic philosophical logic, the problems become impossible to ignore.
In this video, Gary Michael Voris walks through the three big issues at the center of Mormonism: the philosophical contradiction at the heart of the "Great Apostasy" claim, the theological error in promising believers they will become gods (and why that promise dates back to the serpent in Genesis), and the doctrinal impossibility of calling Nicene Christianity a corruption when the Council of Nicaea simply affirmed what Scripture already taught.
If Jesus promised the gates of hell would not prevail against his Church, and the Church fell into apostasy 300 years later — someone is wrong. Either Christ was wrong, or Mormonism is.
Why Every Religious Argument on Social Media Is Starting in the Wrong Place
The debate over which religion is true — or whether any religion is true — is exploding across X, Facebook, and every major social media platform right now. But most people are making the same mistake: they're arguing creeds and doctrines before they've settled the philosophical foundations those beliefs rest on. In this video, Gary Michael Voris breaks down why you can't resolve these questions, until you first work through the philosophical questions that sit underneath all of it. From the ancient Greeks reasoning their way to the immortality of the soul, to the difference between natural revelation and divine revelation — this is how the conversation actually has to happen.
Are Mormons Christian? A Catholic Answers the Question Directly
Senator Mike Lee asked why the LDS Church was left off a government list of Christian denominations — and the answer comes down to one foundational theological truth: the Holy Trinity. In this video, Gary Michael Voris explains why the Trinity isn't just a doctrine among many, but the absolute bedrock of Christianity — the belief from which everything else, including Jesus himself, flows. Mormons reject the Trinity and believe Jesus and Satan were brothers and that multiple gods exist. That's not just a minor disagreement, that's a different religion entirely.
So glad to see Gary Michael Voris back with his insightful commentary. God bless!
