In this episode of the Holy Hot Mess podcast, host Heather explores the question of why one should choose Catholicism over other belief systems. We need to be able to answer this question for ourselves, our children and in defense of the faith. With so many different sects of Christianity - how do you choose? She dives into the messiness of the Catholic Church and why sticking with it because it is the True faith, despite all the imperfect humans in it is a call to obedience not one of feelings.
