DESCRIPTION:
Who founded the Catholic Church? Did Jesus start the Catholic Church in Matthew 16, or did it begin centuries later? The Catholic Church exists — over a billion people, in every century back to the apostles — so somebody founded it. In this episode, Kenny Burchard and Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong put one challenge on the table: if it wasn’t Jesus… name the founder, and name the date.
