Join Fr. Peter Heers for a 10-part course in developing our understanding of the nature of the one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church as the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ and the pillar and ground of the Truth (I Tim. 3:15). This lecture series will provide an introduction to the Dogma of the Church as handed down to us by the Holy Fathers throughout the ages in contrast with the more recent ecclesiological reconstructions of the heterodox, and what this means for the Body of Christ amidst the new "religion of the future."
