The Chartres Pilgrimage
Every year some 20,000 mostly young traditional Catholics walk from Notre Dame de Paris to Notre Dame de Chartres, a distance of some 70 miles, over three days, the Pentecost weekend.
Some regard this as the most important annual event in the world today.
To experience for yourself the vigour and youthfulness of traditional Catholicism, watch the following video made by a group of American pilgrims.
Early Christian Writings
This site contains a complete collection of extant writings from the early Church up to 325 AD.
That some of those early writings were inspired by God is a teaching of the Catholic Church, and it is not something that can be known by reason. Which books were inspired and which were not also rest on the authority of the Catholic Church.
Those Protestants who preach the novel, manmade doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture alone, are like clowns trying to carry themselves around by their own bootlaces.
Evolution
The theory of evolution requires one to believe that one's great-great-great grandfather was a frog and that the frog's great-great-great grandfather was a lettuce!
If you are intellectually honest, you must admit that this seems an unlikely proposition. Furthermore, the more dubious a proposition is, the more solid evidence we should require before accepting it. And the proof of evolution is remarkably flimsy.
To be fair to Darwin, scientists in his day imagined the cell, the basic building block of all life to be little more than a blob of goo. We now know that the cell is an extraordinarily complex "factory". Consequently, its origin by blind chance is no longer a rational proposition.
