| 1/26/26 | Catholic Stuff I Still Don't Understand (with Joe Heschmeyer) | I've spent the last seven years learning about Catholicism, and I like to think I've learned a bit along the way. However, there are more topics to research than there is time in the day, and, inevitably, a host of secondary and tertiary issues have come up that confused me but I haven't had the time to properly research. So, in this episode, I sat down with Catholic Answers apologist and author Joe Heschmeyer to talk about these topics and see if he could help me make sense of them. If y... | 1h 33m 30s | ||||||
