That was a very good talk by Mr. Rodriguez. It took place on March 7, 2026, in Zagreb, Croatia, at the Third International Apologetics Conference organized by the Apologetic Association of Blessed Ivan Merz. Two other notable Catholic apologetics speakers were Mr. John-Henry Westen and Fr. David Nix.
