In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by Catholic convert, author, apologist, and podcaster Eric Robinson to talk about whether or not Christ founded a visible Church – or are Christians just an invisible collection of believers?

As converts, this is something both Eric and I wrestled with.

We dig deep in the Bible in this episode, into the Early Church, and into our own experiences coming to understand the historicity and the claims of Catholicism. It's a great conversation!

Check out Eric's website and his podcast Polycarp's Paradigm, available everywhere.
