”If you‘re considering Catholicism, or just curious, then consider this...” In this podcast and blog from our ministry partner, Considering Catholicism, Greg Smith explores the faith, beliefs, life, and culture of the Catholic Church for curious non-Catholics, and for Catholics who want to know their faith better and share it with others.
