Description

In this lively episode of the Thinking Faith podcast, Deacon Eric and Dr. Brett dive into some deep theological waters—guided by curious young minds from St. Jerome’s in Hyattsville, Maryland. What is purgatory really about? Can non-Christians be saved? Why do Catholics pray for the dead? With wisdom, wit, and a good dose of heart, our hosts explore these tough topics through the lens of Scripture, Catholic tradition, and reason—showing how God’s mercy is wider and deeper than we often imagine. Plus, get a sneak peek at some exciting changes coming to the show and future episodes on the mysteries of the afterlife!
