This is Catholicism, Episode 57: The Sixth and Ninth Commandments

In this first episode of the season, Father Philip Eldracher is joined by his brother, Peter Eldracher, as they discuss the Sixth and Ninth Commandments and the means to avoid sins against holy purity.

Father Philip Eldracher

A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.

Father Eldracher is currently pastor of Mary Help of Christians chapel and provides the Traditional (Tridentine) Latin Mass to faithful Catholics throughout Australia.
