MORE INFO
A podcast for non-Catholics, new Catholics, or anyone interested in digging deeper into the Catholic faith. Hosted by K. Albert Little, a non-denominational Evangelical convert to Catholicism.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Piece Benefield. A fierce defender of Calvinism, Pierce converted to the Catholic faith after a long and fascinating journey – including going head-to-head with Catholics in a group chat, fulling intending to convert them to Calvinism, but being challenged by their through and thoroughly biblical responses to many of his objections to Catholicism!
This week, we talk about Pierce's evangelical upbringing, his shift to the serious and intellectual strand of Calvinism, and what eventually drew him into full communion with the Catholic Church – as a former anti-Catholic evangelist! Plus, we tackle objections like Mary, understanding the Early Church Fathers, and the amazing story of other converts Pierce has met along the way!
For more from Pierce check out two of his other appearances on YouTube.
