Tim Drake of National Catholic Register interviews Fr. Robert Barron of Word on Fire about  "The Catholicism Project":

How did you first come up with the idea for “The Catholicism Project”?

Classic, revolutionary -- like the Gospels themselves, and also game-changing reality TV.

20 years into the New Evangelization
Legatus members have embraced the call to evangelize the culture . . .
