  • Charitable Truth

    Considering Catholicism keeps the faith through, with, and in, the Love of God. This podcast is an excellent example of sharing charitably sharing the faith without watering it down. Greg’s humility and integrity are an inspiration for all those who seek to be loyal sons and daughters of Holy Mother Church… The latest episode that I just listened to (The Cost of Discipleship, Part 2 #356) was my favorite. The most recent episode I’ve listened to tends to be my favorite.
