Hosted by Abbot Ankido Sipo (from Feeding Fathers and Martyr Mentality on Qurbana Media)

In this opening episode of Catechism 101, Abbot Ankido dives into "The Creed"—the powerful "I believe" we proclaim at every Mass and in the Rosary. Why do we even have creeds in a world that loves saying "my truth" and "your truth?"

He breaks it down simply: the shorter Apostles' Creed (ancient baptismal questions turned profession of faith) vs. the fuller Nicene Creed we say on Sundays. You'll hear the real history behind them—how the early Church fought off big heresies like Arianism at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, affirming that Jesus is truly God, same substance as the Father.

Abbot Ankido explains why creeds feel so countercultural today (spoiler: they push back against individualism and privatized faith), how dogma isn't a bad word, and why the Trinitarian structure of the Creed is basically our Christian identity card. Rooted in Scripture, Tradition, and the Church's authority, this is straightforward teaching to help you understand, profess, and live the faith with confidence.

Perfect for anyone wanting to go deeper into what Catholics actually believe—whether you're a lifelong Catholic, coming back, or just curious.
