Journey Around the World and Deep into the Faith

For the first time, in breathtaking, high-definition cinematography, the beauty, goodness and truth of the Catholic Faith are illustrated in a rich, multimedia experience. Journey with acclaimed author, speaker and theologian Fr. Robert Barron to more than 50 locations throughout 15 countries. Be illuminated by the spiritual and artistic treasures of this global culture that claims more than one billion of the earth’s people.

From the sacred lands of Israel to the beating heart of Uganda...from the glorious shrines of Italy, France, and Spain, to the streets of Mexico, Kolkata, and New York City, the fullness of CATHOLICISM is revealed. Journey deep into the Faith as you watch each episode.

Mike Leonard, a veteran NBC Today Show correspondent and acclaimed filmmaker, is the Executive Producer of this groundbreaking series.

This is the greatest series on Catholicism I have ever watched. I couldn't find where it had been posted on FR before, so I went ahead and posted. I bought the series two years ago when it first came out. My parish had an entire class on the series, going over a different volume each week and discussing it. It is also being taught in RCIA clases all over the country. And it's not just for Catholics, it's for any Christian that wants to know the history of Christianity. "The Law was given through Moses, grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ".

It’s great. Fr. Robert Barron is a brilliant, educated man, but manages to put everything forth in a way that makes it interesting and even gripping (I guess that may be because he’s really a believer!). He’s preparing another series on evangelization and then a “Catholicism Pt. II.”

It really is beautiful and moving. Brilliant writing and cinemtography in this. I was spellbound and so glad that I had (finally!) swum the Tiber.

Unfortunately the series is pretty expensive. I couldn’t afford to buy it.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Maybe my church could buy it.

We have the Blue Ray. I just bought a regular DVD so we can loan it to our kids. It is pricy but totally worth the investment. We watched it last winter and I plan to watch it again this winter.

I can’t wait to see it.

Our church bought several copies. I have one right here at home.
