As a former Baptist, we accused Catholics of praying with “vain repetition” based on a poor translation of the Greek text for Matthew 6:7.

I use heaven, Jesus, the Temple and the Psalms, the parables, the Our Father and the Early Church. I hope you enjoy the article I wrote for Catholic Answers Magazine — and below is my show on this topic with Teresa Tomeo.
