This book was one of the most inspiring and strengthening Catholic books I’ve ever read and it has made a significant impact in my understanding and faith in Catholicism.

At the time I read the book, I was unaware that this book is a synthesis of a video Series, also hosted by Bishop Barron. Recently, I’ve located the 10 episodes video "Catholicism" series and want to share this media with you.

"Catholicism" 10 episodes video is available at Word on Fire. However, all 10 videos are available on YouTube with no registration required.

The movie depicts an Orthodox Bishop who is unjustly exiled, convicted without a trial, slandered without cause, yet his love for people and his faith conquered all.

This is an Independent drama.  I've learned so much from this movie concerning how to be Christian despite obstacles, criticism, and setbacks following the Path set before me.
