The Real + True Podcast46 Minutes to Understand the Entire Catholic Faith (Masterclass)In this pilot episode of Season 5 of the Real+True Podcast, Edmund Mitchell shares a practical masterclass on how to unlock the entire faith through the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

This truth is more apparent to each of us when we look to other people than it is when we look to ourselves. Why?

One of the gifts of excellent drama––especially tragic drama but even the right kind of comedic drama––is that we are given the chance to see dynamics like this in play in the lives and worlds of...
