SW News: The Catechism in a Year podcast featuring American Catholic priest Fr Mike Schmitz will begin on Sunday, January 1. This new podcast follows the big success of the Bible in a Year podcast, which was hosted by Fr Mike and Biblical scholar Jeff Cavins.

In a span of 365 days, the entire Catechism of the Catholic Church will be covered. According to the Ascension website, the podcast is being launched “in response to countless requests.” It will help Catholics to “Understand the essentials of the Catholic Faith and why they matter.”

“If you have ever wanted to understand what it means to be Catholic and allow those truths to shape your life—this podcast is for you!,” the website says.

The podcast will be available on most of the popular podcast apps including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Hallow. A Facebook group has been started by the organizers to guide the participants of the podcast. The group already has more than 90000 members.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church was published in 1992, during the papacy of Pope John Paul II. It was drafted by a commission headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI.
