Considering Catholicism

Greg Smith

Considering Catholicism explains the beliefs, history, Scripture, and life of the Catholic Church clearly and charitably. It’s for curious Protestants, seekers, people in OCIA, and Catholics who want to know and share their faith. Host Greg Smith spent decades serving across the Protestant world, which gives him an insider’s understanding of the questions people bring. Faithful to the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
