In this episode I'm joined by Michael Lofton from Reason and Theology to talk about the Magisterium, the teaching office of the Catholic Church.

We talk about where the Catholic Church's authority comes from, how it traces and understands it, and the incredible, fundamental differences between how Catholic's understand their faith and how it's understood by Protestant Christians.

It's an important and fascinating conversation. I hope you enjoy!
