Welcome to Part Two of the Catechism!

In this episode we briefly introduce some key ideas around sacraments and the liturgy that will guide the next few episodes. What is a sacrament? Why do we always say the same things at mass? Why do I have to worship in a church?

This episode covers Part Two, Section One of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 1066-1209).
