This is Catholicism, Episode 17: The True Foundation Stone

About this episode

Father Philip Eldracher discusses the foundation of the Church on Saint Peter and the significance of the Deharbe Catechism in understanding Catholic faith.

Father Philip Eldracher covers topical questions for Protestants concerning Christ building His Church on Saint Peter, the true foundation stone. A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith. Father Eldracher is currently pastor of Mary Help of Christians chapel and provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia.
