This is part 2 of 2 of our interview with Christel Marie-Martin, a Catholic Convert! She shares with us her journey as well as insights to the Catholic faith. (p.s. this podcast episode’s cover art is a photo of Christel hanging up a picture of Our Lady at her still-Protestant parents’ house - her father was looking on in seeming exasperation). In this episode, we explore the aspects of the Catholic faith that drew her to the Catholic faith.
