| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Edward Sari, and welcome to All Things Catholic, where real faith meets real life. |
| 0:13.5 | Hi, I'm Edward Sari, host of the All Things Catholic podcast. Today, we continue our conversation with |
| 0:18.2 | Father Mike Schmitz on the powerful, crucial resource the Catholic |
| 0:22.5 | Church has given us for our faith formation, for our relationship with Jesus and growing in holiness |
| 0:28.0 | that many Catholics know about, but they don't quite know how to use. That's the resource called |
| 0:32.5 | the Catechism of the Catholic Church. As I mentioned last time, Father Mike and I were blessed |
| 0:36.7 | to be a part of |
| 0:37.7 | this amazing faith formation series program that just came out called Foundations of Faith, |
| 0:42.9 | a journey through the catechism of the Catholic Church. It was filmed in over 40 beautiful |
| 0:47.7 | locations, 11 countries, four continents, with dozens of amazing presenters, all coming together |
| 0:53.8 | to unpack the heart and the beauty |
| 0:56.0 | of our Catholic faith. If you want to learn more about this program, you can go to ascensionpress.com. |
| 1:01.9 | There, you can get a free preview sample video. So you can get a sense of the cinematography, |

| 1:18.7 | and it's a program coming out just in a little bit of time here. It's with Ascension. It's called |
| 1:23.0 | Foundations of Faith, where it kind of goes a little deeper into the catechism. If you think of, |
| 1:28.9 | I was just talking with our friend Marisa, she had this wonderful analogy about how, you know, |
| 1:33.0 | when you read the catechism, you just, you know, have it out there. It's kind of like the two-dimensional |
| 1:36.6 | view. It's like when you get on Google Maps and you kind of see the roads, you see the map. But then this program is kind of like the 3D view. This is like the street view. You |
| 1:44.6 | kind of get in because there's so much to the catechism that it comes together. It's not just |
| 1:49.0 | somebody who's writing it down. It comes from scripture. It's drawing on so many wonderful saints. |
