    015 - The Nicene Creed
    Oct 24 2025

    This episode talks about the Nicene Creed. This Creed is recited at every Mass in Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Why is it so important? This episode explains that. We go through the Council of Nicaea in AD325 where it was written and then go through each sentence and talk about what it means. It is a very important part of Catholic Faith!
