On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, host Dr. Thaddeus Romansky spoke with Catholic Answers apologist Joe Heschmeyer about the inspiration for his new book, The Early Church Was the Catholic Church, and about the abundance of evidence available to demonstrate that claim. Whether one looks at the sacraments, worship, church structure, or the canon of Scripture, there is very strong evidence that the early Church faithfully handed on the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles from the very beginning. And the church that did that, bringing forward those beliefs and practices in time, was the church of the Fathers and the church of Sts. Peter and Paul. That church is the Catholic Church. Get more details by listening to the episode, then go read Heschmeyer's engrossing book. Remember, when choosing between the values of heaven and the values of earth, always round up!
