Clarus ’25

What is a Protestant? What do Roman Catholics truly believe? Are our differences significant? How do their doctrines align—or diverge—from Scripture? And how do we talk to Catholics about all of this, anyway?

In a world where theological differences often spark division or misunderstanding, it is vital for Protestants to engage with Roman Catholicism thoughtfully and graciously. Clarus ‘25 is about more than just answering questions; it’s about equipping believers to stand firm in the gospel of grace while fostering meaningful conversations with Catholic friends and loved ones.

This Friday and Saturday, we will explore the rich history of Protestant convictions, examine some of the key differences between Protestants and Roman Catholics, reflect on why some Protestants convert to Catholicism, and rejoice in the sufficiency of Christ’s work. By deepening our understanding, we aim to defend our faith with confidence, guard against theological drift, and extend Christlike love to those who hold differing views.

This year, we are excited to welcome three wonderful speakers to help us consider these important questions—Dr. Chris Castaldo, Dr. Leonardo De Chirico, and Dr. Gavin Ortlund. Please join us as we engage Rome—not with hostility, but with clarity, care, and charity, for the glory of God.
