Eternal Christendom Podcast #32 | How Corruption in the Church "Helped" a Jew Become Catholic
CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM
In this episode, we share a story from the "Decameron," a 14th century collection of stories told in Italy during the Black Death. This one is about a Medieval Jew who became a Medieval Catholic, and how corruption in the Church actually helped convince him that he should become Catholic.
This humorous story illustrates a vital truth: sin within the Church can never revoke Christ's promises to protect and guide Her into all truth until His return.
