The Brian Holdsworth Podcast

"If Scripture alone produces 'wrong' conclusions unless filtered through Protestant tradition, then Scripture is not the final authority—Protestant interpretation is." Sponsor: https://exodus90.com/brian Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/support  A doctrine that cannot produce its own intended end (reliable knowledge) without extra-scriptural authorities fails on its own terms. Sola Scriptura claims that Scripture alone is sufficient to produce authoritative knowledge of faith and morals, yet in practice Protestant theology constantly corrects the conclusions people naturally reach from Scripture—especially in passages like James 2 or John 6. This shows that Scripture is not functioning as the final authority; instead, Protestant interpretive frameworks are.

"Feminism is the shadow Church - it mimics the faith with a sacrament, it has commandments, it evangelizes, and it offers a whole ethos for women." Sponsor: https://exodus90.com/brian Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/support 

"Good laws are designed to judge visible actions, not internal emotional states." Sponsor: https://exodus90.com/brian Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/help Clear laws protect ordinary people. Vague laws empower authorities. In this video, I explain why legal certainty is essential to justice, how hate-speech laws undermine the rule of law, and why criminalizing intent and offense opens the door to arbitrary enforcement and abuse of power — using real-world examples from the UK, Canada, and beyond.

"If validity is all that mattered, the Church wouldn't bother with all these other instructions, and it certainly wouldn't have rewritten the liturgy at a massive cost to unity, tradition, and pastoral peace." Sponsor: https://catholicmatch.com/ Support the channel by visiting: https://brianholdsworth.ca/support The idea that the Latin Mass and Novus Ordo are "equal" simply because both are valid collapses liturgy into its bare minimum. The Church repeatedly teaches that validity is only the floor, not the measure of excellence. If validity were all that mattered, the Church would never have issued extensive liturgical norms, nor undertaken the most disruptive liturgical reform in its history. Honest evaluation is therefore not judgmentalism but necessary for genuine reform and unity. Music written and generously provided by Paul Jernberg.
