BONUS | The Sacraments w/ Eric Robinson

Summary

What are the sacraments and why are they important to our lives as Catholics? What should we teach our children about baptism, confirmation, and confession? Didn’t the Catholics add more sacraments than Christ originally intended? We’re joined by Eric Robinson for answers to these questions as we discuss his new book on the sacraments.
