In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Catholic Answers Senior Apologist Jimmy Akin to talk about how to understand authority and the Catholic Church.

We discuss the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Bible, papal infallibility, theology, doctrine, and dogma, and how best to understand what the Church teaches on any given topic. It's a fantastic episode; Jimmy provides an absolute ton of information – you're going to want to listen twice!

For more from Jimmy Akin visit his website and check out some of his fantastic books including: 

• Teaching With Authority
• The Drama of Salvation
• A Daily Defense: 365 (plus one) Days to Becoming a Better Apologist
