Who were the Church Fathers, and why do they still matter today? Bishop Barron introduces these spiritual masters and shares their key contributions. In the first episode of our three-part series, he also discusses the three main Apostolic Fathers:
- Clement (35 – 99)
- Ignatius (35 – 108)
- Polycarp (69 – 155)
A listener asks about the difference between faith and hope.
