WHY BE CATHOLIC?

Pat Madrid - Why Be Catholic?

UPDATE: I'm bumping this up to the top. Pat Madrid's talk opens with a discussion about how Scott Hahn entered the visible world of Catholic apologetics. It's worth a listen for you fans of Dr. Hahn's work. I'm definitely subscribing to the Fullness podcast (linked at the bottom).

So...several years ago I started straggling back to the faith I always held (but never knew). A pivotal part of that path was attending a Fullness of Truth conference in Corpus Christi, TX. At the conference I was blessed to hear Fr. Corapi, Fr. Pacwa, Doug Barry and several others speak passionately and forthrightly about the faith.

Wonderfully, the conferences are still being held. If you get a chance -- GO!

All that's to say this: Pat Madrid spoke at one and gave the following lecture entitled "Why Be Catholic when You can be Anything Else?" Now the Fullness of Truth folks have put the talk on their new podcast.

Welcome to the first episode of the Fullness of Truth podcast. In this episode we share a little bit of the mission of Fullness of Truth in a talk given by Patrick Madrid called Why Be Catholic When you can be anything else.
