  • #188 Did I Misrepresent Gavin Ortlund on the Infallibility of Scriputre? - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jul 4 2025
    Joe replies to a reply to a reply….yes this is true. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Now, I don’t normally do a Friday episode, particularly on the 4th of July, but Dr. Gavin Orlin replied to my episode from yesterday in a way that I think naturally raised some questions about my integrity and whether I’m treating his argument fairly. So I want to actually begin by agreeing with Gavin on something CLIP: I’d like to try to maintain a positive relationship with Joe. I like Joe, I’d like to have a good relationship. HeR...

  • #187 The Protestant Canon REBUTTED (Gavin Ortlund, Cleave to Antiquity and Javier Perdomo) - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jul 3 2025
    Joe responds to the recent conversation between Gavin Ortlund, Javier Perdomo and Cleave to Antiquity about the integrity of the Protestant canon of Scripture. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to explore the Protestant Bible and whether it has the right number of books because as you may know, Protestant Bibles are seven books shorter than Catholic. Bibles are also shorter than Orthodox Bibles, and there’s a lot of debate about this and it matters a lot to know if we’ve got the right Bible. And I want to look particularly...

  • #185 What Makes a War “Just?” - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 26 2025
    With the conflict between Israel, Hamas and now the United States Bombing Iran, there is a lot of disagreement even among Catholics on whether these actions are just. Joe shows Church teaching on just war to help us break through the noise. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk about the concept of just war because there are a lot of conflicts going on in the world right now in places like Ukraine and Israel and the Palestinian Territories in Iran and probably many other places around the world that are not making the news to the same de...

  • #184 Does The Bible Command Christians to Support Israel? - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 24 2025
    Joe looks at Dispensationalism and whether the Bible actually teaches that Christians must support the modern state of Israel. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and one of the most contentious topics right now is this question of whether we should support Israel in hiss ongoing fight against Hamas and now against Iran. And there are people who I respect who answer both sides of that question, but I want to look at one particular argument that is sometimes made. It was made recently by Senator Ted Cruz in his Tucker Carlson interview. It’s this a...

  • #183 Vlad Savchuk’s 10 Catholic Distortions REBUTTED - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 19 2025
    Joe responds to Pastor Vlad Savchuk and his video Catholics vs Christianity. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to respond to a series of arguments against Catholicism made by the popular Evangelical pastor, VLA de Savchuk. And full disclosure, I’m not particularly familiar with him. I’ve seen a few clips of him, but it turns out he’s massively popular on YouTube, so I’m going to try to be as fair as I can to him. It’s clear that we run in kind of different spaces. His blog is mostly focused on, as far as ...

  • #182 You’re misunderstanding “Love” and “Hate” in Romans 9 - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 17 2025
    Joe demonstrates how common English translations of the Bible don’t capture the whole reality of what ancient Jews and Christians understood about “love” and “hate.” Understanding the old world meaning of these words will make you see the Bible in a completely new context. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe, Heschmeyer, and one of the things that can startle readers of the Bible is when we read that God loves one individual or group and hates another. For instance, St. Paul explains the plan of God by saying that Jacob I loved, but he...

  • #181 Did Redeemed Zoomer Strawman My Argument Against Calvinism? - Joe Heschmeyer
    Jun 12 2025
    Joe’s response to Redeemed Zoomer (and the other Calvinists) who said he was strawmanning Calvinism in my last video. Transcript: Joe: If you can watch ’em in the video, skip my entire third part where I lay out how this is a logical contradiction and he just says, well, let me know if I missed anything important. You did. You missed the crux of the argument. Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I’d originally planned to do an episode unpacking the biblical usage of terms like love and hate. Particularly when you hear God saying things like, Jacob, h...
