#660 Catholic Faith Unbroken, The Importance of the Early Church Fathers: With Bishop Athanasius Schneider

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message” Bishop Athanasius Schneider delivers a powerful message of hope and clarity for Catholics navigating the complexities of modern faith. Drawing from his deep knowledge of Church history and tradition, he illuminates the unbroken chain of teaching that connects today"s believers directly to the apostles through the early Church Fathers. "There is only one truth," Bishop Schneider declares with conviction, explaining that what makes Catholic faith distinct is its remarkable continuity across the centuries. He illustrates this through the example of St. Irenaeus, a second-century bishop who could trace his spiritual lineage directly to the Apostle John. This living connection between the apostolic age and our own time offers profound reassurance that authentic Catholic teaching remains unchanged despite cultural shifts and contemporary confusion. For those troubled by apparent contradictions or ambiguities they encounter in today"s Church, Bishop Schneider offers practical wisdom: "When we are confused, please read the old catechisms. There is the crystal clear Catholic faith." Also, the Early Church Fathers, including St. Ignatius of Antioch"s seven letters, St. Augustine"s Confessions, and works by St. Justin Martyr and St. Basil on the Holy Spirit. The conversation explores Bishop Schneider"s book "Matins with the Fathers," which provides commentary from Church Fathers on daily Scripture readings.  Visit and Learn From Bishop Athanasius Schneider Here!: GloriaDei.io Ready to join the 20% who actively build a civilization of love?
