Rome 120: Recent Episodes
Eric Meyer
The 120 stands for two minutes. ROME 120 endeavors to introduce the brilliance of the Catholic faith by jamming lots of information into quick, tiny episodes. Before diving into Aquinas or Augustine or any of the other great Catholic minds, many of us need an on-ramp. We need something to spark a little curiosity and give us a nugget of knowledge. Then we can roll forward and dive into deeper waters. Our faith is brilliant. Jump in!
