Have you ever felt like your knowledge of Catholicism was superficial? If so this podcast is for you.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Second Vatican Council documents are the things that are most talked about in Catholic discussions for how little they are read and this podcast seeks to change that.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2025 is the 60th anniversary of the close of the council, so a perfect time to go over all the documents with light commentary. this podcast will cover it all through 365 episodes in 2025.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This podcast will continue to be online for people to listen indefinitely. Take your time to appreciate the wisdom of the council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/frmatthewlc.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/frmatthewlc.com\/\">Fr.
