Summary
Around the world, there are thousands of variations on religion and faith-based practices, and religion itself can happen on many levels—within your own self, within your family, within your church, within different churches of the same sect, and so on. Today's episode is the first in a new series on religions around the world.
Richard Jacobs will explore all aspects of the continuum on which religions and faith fall, and dive into a number of topics with guests who are eager to share their personal experiences with faith and religion. Tune in for a discussion with Jay Wesley Richards, Research Assistant Professor in the Busch School of Business at the Catholic University of America, and New York Times bestselling author.
You will discover:
- What led Jay Wesley Richards to convert from a follower of Protestantism to Catholicism
- How to reconcile the notion of papal authority and abuse of power with the Catholic faith and the Catholic church
- How Jay Wesley Richards perceives and approaches his interactions with people of different faiths and religions
