Exploring the Life and Legacy of St. Robert Bellarmine

Saint Robert Bellarmine was a Jesuit cardinal who wrote extensively about theology and spirituality. He is considered a key figure in the Counter-Reformation, as he argued at length against Protestant errors and defended Catholic beliefs related to such crucial topics as the priesthood and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. In this episode of The Download, hosts Bradley Eli, Christine Niles and Trey Brock discuss the life and times of Bellarmine, including his connection to Galileo Galilei.
