Charlie Hatchko, Apologist - Otherwise known as
"Bible Buck" by his former trucking buddies, Chuck is
our resident bible apologetic specialist. The Catholic Legate
is honoured to have a guy like Charlie on staff because he has
the grit, the tenacity, and the knowledge which are going to
prove invaluable to our Apostolate in the coming years.
Charlie “The Russian Bear” Hatchko is somethin' else. Some Catholics know their Bible and some Catholics don't. But then there’s the Russian Bear. As the working man’s blue-collar Catholic apologist, Charlie can go toe-to-toe with the slickest and quickest fundy bible thumper – rattling off Bible verses faster than most country auctioneers think. He’s a living reminder never to underestimate your opponent when engaging in Bible apologetics.
Charlie is a Russian Catholic who possesses an eighth grade Catholic education. He grew up in the mining town of Scranton, and he bears an uncanny resemblance to the legendary professional wrestler Ivan Koloff. Charlie earned the CB handle “Bible Buck” during the twelve years he spent as a long-distance truck driver, and for the past decade he’s worked as a jail guard.
He has practically
memorized the entire Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
and decades of back issues of Homiletic & Pastoral Review. As
a Catholic apologist, he has given numerous talks in North
Eastern Pennsylvania and written over a hundred articles for
local community publications. Charlie’s one desire in life
is to bring souls to Christ through the Catholic Church.
