The Catholic Church, through Pope Francis, has declared 2025 to be a Jubilee Year, a Year of Mercy. The faithful are invited to travel to Rome, or to their local cathedral, and walk through a special door to receive an indulgence from sin. Protestants and Evangelical think this is more Catholic salvation by works mumbo-jumbo. But is it? Greg and Cory discuss the biblical roots and parallels with altar calls and revivals in Protestantism and Evangelicalism.

To Protestants or American Evangelicals, the language and images feel kind of weird. But what is it? Greg and Cory unpack the concept, imagery, history, and practices.

The Catholic Church teaches that in addition to Heaven and Hell, there is a third possible destination for a soul upon death: Purgatory. Protestants reject this, but most don't really understand what Purgatory is and why it is vital to God's justice and the soul's journey toward full communion with Him.

”If you‘re considering Catholicism, then consider this...”
For decades, Greg Smith, M.Div, was a Protestant pastor, missionary, and writer until his ”Road to Rome” brought him into the Catholic Church. Now he shares what he found with anyone who is curious about the Catholic faith. Join him as he answers questions, explores topics, visits places, interviews guests, and discovers the True, the Good, and the Beautiful in ”the faith that was once and for all given to the saints.”
Greg serves as the Dean of the Lakeshore Academy for the New Evangelization and founder of One Whirling Adventure.
