In the newest Deep in History episode, Marcus Grodi and Msgr. Jeffrey Steenson looked at what St. Irenaeus of Lyons had to say about the resurrection of the body.
On Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi and Fr. Peter Grodi talked more about the Cardinal Virtue of Fortitude, especially its role in helping us develop patience.

A member who continues to feel drawn to the Catholic Church but doesn’t feel ready to commit yet, a returning Catholic looking for support on their journey, and all the people we’re working with who are looking to be received into full communion with the Catholic Church next weekend – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!

“The Church is that one wherein the true word of God is preached, which Christ left to His Apostles, which the same Church hath always observed, the doctors preached, and Martyrs and confessors witnessed. This is the Church I believe to be true.”
