“Road from Emmaus” – Why Catholicism? (Part 1)

On today’s episode, Andrew and Jason dig into the foundations and fundamentals of their faith life. Why are they Catholic? Before they can answer that question though, it’s necessary to take a look at a couple of other questions: Why believe in religion at all? And of all the religions in the world, why Christianity? The first part of a two-episode mini-series, they touch on moral relativism, and how Christianity isn’t just about being a good person or following a set of rules; it’s being in a relationship with God. They also announce some exciting news off the top–you can now find the Road from Emmaus podcast on Fountain of Love and Life!
