This is Catholicism, Episode 65: Sin in General

In this opening show of This is Catholicism for this season, Father Philip Eldracher and Justin Eldracher begin their discussions on sin with an overview of the different classes of sin and why we must avoid all sin.

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.
