In this conversation, James and The Manly Catholic introduce you to Dan McNally, former Theology teacher turned physical therapist. James met Dan as a new employee here in Grand Rapids and they instantly connected based on their love for Jesus, the Church, and their rugged rosaries.

Throughout this conversation, James and Dan discuss 7 common misconceptions about the Catholic Church, how a Pope actually dug up his predecessor and put him on trial, and why actually knowing what the Church teaches will embolden your faith, not diminish it.

James's challenge: Buy a Catechism (if you have not already!). Then, subscribe to Father Mike Schmitz's "Catechism in a Year."
