What if knowing the Catholic faith isn’t enough?

In this Firebrand Brief, TJ Haines argues that Catholics do not merely need more religious information — they need a Catholic mindset. Religious education can teach the facts of the faith, but formation goes deeper: humility, reverence, charity, submission to the Church, and the instinct to listen when Mother Church speaks.

This episode pushes back on a common failure in Catholic media: forming Catholics into critics, commentators, and amateur theologians while neglecting the deeper work of forming future saints. A truly Catholic mindset does not mean turning off your brain. It means approaching the Church with the posture of a child toward his mother: attentive, humble, open, and ready to be corrected.

Because the devil knows Catholic doctrine better than any of us. The difference is whether the faith has transformed us.

Listen for: Catholic mindset vs. Catholic education, faith formation, Catholic media, humility, obedience, reverence, the Church as mother, and why “head knowledge” is not enough.
