This is Catholicism, Episode 64: The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Commandments of the Church

In this season finale of This is Catholicism, Father Philip Eldracher and Peter Eldracher finish their discussions on the Commandments of the Church by discussing the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Commandments. Please note that the Sixth Commandment of the Church, according to the book, will be covered with the Sacrament of Matrimony.

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.
