 APOLOGETICS?
i. Apologetics is a branch of Theology.
ii. It comes from an ancient Greek word
πολογία(apologia) which literally means an
apology.
iii. An apology (an ancient sense of the word)
meaning to make a reasoned defense or
justification of something.
iv. In the New Testament the word apologia is
found at many places such as
v. Act 22:1, 1 Peter 3:15 etc.
Not an apology in the modern
sense of the word - which is to
say you're sorry for something.

In ancient times, the word apology

referred to the case a lawyer would
make on behalf of his client.
Apologetics is about building
the case for our
Faith...learning how to
explain and defend our
Faith.
3 Types Of Apologetics:
A.Natural Apologetics
B.Christian Apologetics
C.Catholic Apologetics.
 Natural apologetics builds the case for truths we can know
from the "natural" light of reason. Truths that can be
known without any divine intervention.
 Christian apologetics, on the other hand, builds the case for divinely
revealed truths - truths that cannot be known by reason apart from faith.
Truths such as the reality of biblical miracles, the divinity of Christ, the
Virgin Birth, and the Resurrection to name a few.

 Catholic apologetics encompasses all of Christian

apologetics - since Catholicism is the fullness of
Christianity - but Catholic apologetics tends to focus on
those truths of Christianity that are not generally believed by
non-Catholic Christians. Truths such as:
• the Catholic Church having been founded directly by
Jesus Christ; the papacy; the Sacraments; the Immaculate
Conception, and others.
Catholic Church is like a
Family
Community
Society

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
Catholic Faith Defender or Apologists must
be like a GUARD ON A WALL.
 "In your hearts reverence
Christ as Lord. Always be
prepared to make a defense
to any one who calls you to
account for the hope that is
in you, yet do it with
gentleness and reverence. " (1
Peter 3:15, RSV)
 Basic Rules in Doing
Apologetics
We need to always keep in mind
1 Ptr 3:15 which says, "Always be
prepared to make a defense to anyone
who calls you to account for the hope
that is in you..."
Always be prepared Scripture tells us!
So, how can we "always be prepared" to
make a defense of our Faith?
Rule #1: Pray. Pray to the Holy Spirit. Pray that He will give you the
courage to share your Faith and the wisdom to choose your words
carefully and profitably.
Rule #2: You don't have to know everything right now! Just learn a little
bit more about your Faith each and every day. Read Scripture. Read the
Catechism. Listen to apologetics tapes. Read books on or by the Saints.
Learn a little bit at a time.
Rule #3: Luke 5:10, "Do not be afraid, henceforth you will be catching
men. Will you make mistakes? Will you get into tight spots...when you
start sharing your Faith with others? Of course you will, but Peter made
mistakes! He got into tight spots. Yet, Jesus told Peter not to be afraid.
Rule #4: Always view a question about your Faith, or even an attack on
your Faith, as an opportunity - an opportunity to share the truth. Stay calm
and stay determined to bring light into darkness.
Rule #5: Don't get frustrated. Quite often Catholics get frustrated by what
I call the doctrinal dance...you get asked about Purgatory, Mary, the Pope,
the Sacraments all in rapid fire succession. Before you can answer one
question, you're asked another. Just keep firmly, but gently.
Rule#6: Never be afraid to say, "I don't know," when asked a question
about your Faith. Don't try to "wing it." However, always follow, "I don't
know," with, "But, I will find out and get back to you." And make sure
If you follow these rules,
you will be prepared
the next time God puts
you in a position to
explain and defend your
Faith.
Unsa gani to? Kaming mga
katoliko nag simba-simba
og mga rebulto ug dios-
diosan? Kadali rah…
Unsa to si Kristo
dili Dios?
Unsa to ang Katoliko dili
tinuod nga Tinukod ni
Kristo? Kaila ka ani?
We should always remember these facts:
1. The Bible is a Catholic book!
2. The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic
Church gave it to the world!
3. There is nothing in the Bible that
contradicts anything in the Catholic
Faith.
4. There is nothing in the Catholic Faith
that contradicts anything in the Bible.

Expected to be experts in

1. The teachings of the

Catholic Church
2. History and traditions
3. Catholic identity (ID)
Some basic Apologetics rules and advice:
1. Pray to the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom to
choose your words and courage to share your faith.
2. Learn a little bit more about your Faith each and
every day by reading the Scripture and the
Catechism of the Catholic Church.
3. Aim at winning souls (for Christ) not arguments.
4. Always remember that the conversion of hearts is
the job of the Holy Spirit not you. Just plant the
seeds and let the Holy Spirit take care of the rest.

If you keep these things in mind, then you are on the

right path of becoming a very effective Apologist and
Evangelist for the Catholic Faith.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

 CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH
1303 From this fact, Confirmation
brings an increase and deepening of
baptismal grace:
- it gives us a special strength of the
Holy Spirit to spread and defend the
faith by word and action as true
witnesses of Christ, to confess the name
of Christ boldly, and never to be
ashamed of the Cross:
“Recall then that you have received
the spiritual seal, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of right judgment and
courage, the spirit of knowledge
and reverence, the spirit of holy
fear in God's presence. Guard
what you have received. God the
Father has marked you with his
sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed
you and has placed his pledge, the
Spirit, in your hearts.”
