BONUS | Reviving Old Catholic Catechisms w/ Aaron Seng
Summary
What is the tradivox project of reviving old catechisms? Why look to old catechisms when we already have the modern catechism of the Catholic Church? Who could benefit from this? For instance, could this work be useful to local parishes? Aaron Seng, the founder of Tradivox Inc. joins us to answer these questions and more.

Topics
- How did you get involved with this project of reviving old catechisms and what got you interested in diving deep into the faith in this way?
- What is volume 1 and who are the three Catholic authors whose works are contained therein?
- Secondly, some people might object: we already have a modern Catechism of the Catholic Church which is a “sure norm for teaching the faith.” So, why bother producing works like this and retrieving old writers in light of our contemporary catechisms? How would you respond to that?
- Who could benefit from this project? For instance, how might a local parish or local public school benefit from a volume like this?
