Catholicism 101: Forever Learning and Living the Faith

About Catholicism 101: Forever Learning and Living the Faith

Learning the Catholic Faith is a lifelong process. For many of us, it may have had a rocky start from a lack-luster classroom experience, being a disinterested student, or a lack of exposure to the teachings of the Faith. Catholicism 101 is here to fill in the gaps from your Religious Education experience as well as serve as an aid in your lifelong learning of the Faith. Not only will we talk about WHAT the Church teaches, but WHY she teaches it. Hopefully along the way we will find ourselves falling deeper into the heart of Christ as we learn more about His heart for us. "Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope." 1 Peter 3:15 Have a question about the Faith you’d like to have answered on the Podcast?
