Tuesday, April 9: Key Moments in the History of the Catholic Church

With our host, Fr. Matt.

The history of our Faith is so much more than just a list of facts and dates. It is a fascinating story of adventure, rebellion, tragedy, and triumph.

The Catholic Reformation Part II

Queen Elizabeth’s 45 year reign completes the fall of Catholicism in England with a vengeance. Attending Mass, assisting priests and holding the Catholic faith become treasonous acts punishable by death! How did the Church survive?

“Before the tribunal of God’s mercy we, the shepherds, should make ourselves responsible for all the evils now burdening the flock of Christ.”- Some words from the Council Fathers of Trent. True reform begins with Pope St. Pius V and was furthered by several great holy men and women: St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross.
