How Corruption in the Church "Helped" a Jew Become Catholic | Ep. 32

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.
