My Catholic Son-in-Law Answers Your Tough Questions About the Catholic Faith

If you've ever wondered why Catholics pray to Mary, what purgatory is, or whether Protestants are considered Christians, this episode is for you.  I'm joined again by my son-in-law, Sean Hiller, as we tackle listener-submitted questions and dive into Catholic faith questions answered through Scripture and official Church teaching. From salvation and sin to the personal cost of Sean's conversion to Catholicism, this conversation provides thoughtful insight into some of the most common questions about the Catholic faith.   **WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS EPISODE:** - Do Catholics worship the same God as Muslims? Sean explains what the Catholic Church actually teaches about other faiths. - Are Catholics and Protestants both Christian? - Is the Catholic Church the one true church, and what does that mean for salvation? (Including what "extraordinary means" of salvation means) - Why do Catholics pray to Mary, and is that the same as worship? Sean walks through the historical meaning of the word "pray," and why Mary holds a uniquely beautiful place in the faith. - What is purgatory, and why do Catholics pray for the dead? - What spiritual warfare looked like during Sean's conversion, including the strain it put on his marriage and the friendships they lost along the way.   **LINKS & RESOURCES** - Sean's YouTube Channel (@LectiowithSeanHiller) - To Whom Shall I Go? by Ellie Hiller - Catechism in a Year with Father Mike Schmitz   **WHERE TO LISTEN** If you love listening to the podcast, one of the best ways to support the show is by leaving a rating and review.
