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. They found
that it made sense.
The podcast grew from that conviction: that the truth of the Catholic
faith can be taught with clarity, joy, and confidence — without watering it down.
