Catholic Misconceptions: Debunking Common Myths about Our Faith
In this episode, we discuss common misconceptions about Catholicism that we have encountered when we share our faith. During this discussion, we focus on the high level biblical basis and context for the following Catholic topics: Church Authority, Faith and Works, Confession, the Mass, and the intercession of Mary and the Saints. As we address and debunk the myths surrounding these subjects, our goal is to promote a deeper understanding of Catholicism and Sacred Scripture. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and as always, we are excited to bond with you! Xoxo
