The freedom to live out our Catholic faith was paved by the early Christians. In this talk, Steve Ray discusses the heroic virtue of St. Irenaeus, a 2nd-century bishop who played an indispensable role in passing on the Apostles’ teachings. Steve spoke on this saint before in his DVD Footprints of God: Apostolic Fathers, shot on location in Europe and the Middle East. In this presentation, Steve praises St. Irenaeus’ steadfastness in the face of persecution and examines how he impacts our lives in the Church today.
