About this episode
Why does the Catholic Church have a well-defined hierarchy? Why don’t we have 12 Apostles and a handful of Deacons like we see in the Bible? In this episode, Justin Hibbard continues the series on “The One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church” by examining the development of the hierarchy and why it was so necessary to preserve the unity of the Church.
