How The Great Schism Changed History

While I've looked at the distinct teachings of Protestantism, the next logical question to ask would be: Why not become Catholic? In this episode, I begin to answer that question. I start by going through the issues that caused the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western churches, the newfound power of the papacy, and other developments than followed the schism.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments below. Thanks for listening and God bless!
