Father Mike Schmitz will be back on the air with another year-long podcast about Catholicism, this one focusing on the Catechism or Church teachings.

“Join Fr. Mike and hundreds of thousands of Catholics in discovering the depth and beauty of Catholic teaching with ‘The Catechism in a Year’ podcast, starting Jan. 1, 2023!” Ascension Press said in a recent tweet.

Schmitz will team up with Jeff Cavins, of Ascension Press, to produce 15- to 20-minute episodes that will focus on the Catechism. They’ll do one episode daily for the whole year.

Ascension Press says the “Catechism in a Year” podcast will cover the entire Catechism. Ascension Press posted on its website to let listeners know they can “understand the essentials of the Catholic Faith and why they matter.” The podcast will focus on Church teaching in relation to Sacred Scripture, 2,000 years of Sacred Tradition, and “encounter God’s plan of sheer goodness.”

People are also invited to join the “Catechism in a Year” Facebook group, which will offer a discussion forum for people to ask about and comment on the podcast. Members of any faith can join the Facebook group and learn more about the Catechism.

“Discover how God’s plan of sheer goodness is made manifest for us today,” Schmitz told the National Catholic Register (NCR).

Schmitz said he decided to do the “Catechism in a Year” podcast a couple of years after the success of “Bible in a Year,” one of the top Apple Podcasts after its release in 2021, NCR says.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church provides a “compilation of fundamental Christian truths and the essential teachings of the Church,” NCR says.

“One of the things that we recognize: Here is the Holy Spirit, who continues to move. Here is God, who continues to reach out to his people,” Schmitz said in an NCR report. “God continues to make us his sons and daughters... and there is real truth in the fact that you can't love what you don't know.”

He expressed his gratitude for Catholicism and its teachings.

“And I am just so grateful for the Catechism,” Schmitz said. “God reveals himself in sacred Scripture so we get to love him more. But he also reveals himself in sacred Tradition. So we get to love him more. I hope that when it comes to the Bible, we had a biblical worldview that was either given for the first time or rediscovered. Now, with the Catechism, it’s a biblical worldview that is now amplified or even brought into a clearer or sharper vision.”

Schmitz hosted the “Bible in a Year” podcast in 2021. It was a popular production that has been downloaded more than 238 million times through March, CBS says.

“When I turned to the Bible, it was an internal wisdom,” Schmitz told CBS, “and it reminded me, even as bad as it is, it's been worse than this and God hasn't left his people, and I said I want to read the Bible every day and make a podcast.”

The Catechism of the Catholic Church is available for purchase on Amazon for those who want to read it as the podcast progresses.
