Hello, and welcome to Focus the Catholic Answers Podcast for living, understanding, and

defending your Catholic faith.

I'm sci-kill at your host, and we'll talk a bit about defending your Catholic faith this

time, because among those who are interested in defending the Catholic faith, there's probably

That is the atheist, Jehovah's Witness, and the Mormon, and the Jehovah's Witness and

the Mormon, because they'll come to your door, and you'd like to be prepared, you'd like

to know what to say, and so we'll cover a bit of that, but we'll get into a much broader

conversation as well with our guest, Jeremy Christensen, this time, because he has a

wonderful new book out from Ignatius Press, called From the Susquehanna to the Tiber,

a memoir of conversion from Mormonism to the Roman Catholic Church, and as I say, it's

much broader than just a defense of the Catholic Church.

It's really an expression of love for the Catholic Church.

What happened?

So I think one important point, as you noted, is we were very Mormon, so to put it just

very, you know, very simply, we were very, very Mormon.
