Why Crash Course Catholicism began
Caitlin founded Crash Course Catholicism in 2021 after years of teaching young people about the Catholic faith.
Again and again, she saw that when Catholic teaching was explained
clearly and faithfully, people did not find it irrelevant. Rather, they found
that it just made sense.
Crash Course Catholicism grew from the conviction that the truth of the Catholic faith can be taught with clarity, joy, and confidence, without watering it down.
