S1E1 - The Podcast Introduction

The Catholic Why is a podcast for anyone who has ever asked, “Why do Catholics do this?” Raised Catholic, I often struggled to explain my faith—whether it was the meaning of feast days, the sign of the cross, the use of incense, or deeper questions like suffering and Church teachings. This podcast was born from those real conversations and the desire to understand more. Each episode explores common questions from Catholics, seekers, and skeptics, breaking down both simple and complex topics into clear, relatable insights. I research the answers, consult trusted sources, and share what I learn so others can grow in understanding too. The podcast is organised into themed seasons—starting with Church governance, and continuing with topics like the sacraments, Scripture, apologetics, Catholic life, and more. Episodes run for 5–15 minutes each week, combining real-life experiences with Scripture and Church teaching. This is a humble journey of learning and sharing, inspired by Christ’s call: “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.” (Mark 16:15) Join me as we grow in faith and discover the richness of the Catholic Church together.
