This episode explores the often-assumed similarity between Catholicism and Anglicanism, and why that assumption breaks down under closer examination. By looking beyond aesthetics and culture, it examines how each tradition understands authority, Scripture, sacraments, moral teaching, unity, and continuity over time. The episode argues that these differences are not accidental, but flow from two distinct ways of holding truth across history. It closes with a personal reflection on why Catholicism’s emphasis on continuity, custodianship, and endurance in the face of cultural pressure has become compelling, not as an abstract theory, but as a place to stand.
