Godsplaining

Why Catholic and Not Just Christian?

Merry Christmas! On this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Bonaventure unite to discuss toads and cigars, then lay out the case for Catholicism. Is it enough to just be a Christian? Is being Catholic just, 'extra'? Are Catholics even Christians? Are Christians saved, or just Catholics?
