Learn how God's grace is always active in both patients and doctors by reading Dr. Collin's new book “You Visited Me”  https://ignatius.com/you-visited-me-yvmp/?searchid=0&search_query=you+visited+me   Dr. Robert Collins is a leading oncologist who joins Andrew Petiprin today to talk about his experiences as a Catholic doctor in a major modern medical center. He tells stories about patients who experienced God's graces of physical and spiritual healing. He also marvels at the Christian witness to the faith within the medical system, which influenced his own conversion from agnosticism to Catholicism. His experiences show us that God's love is always present even in the most difficult and tragic circumstances.   SUBSCRIBE to our channel and never miss an episode of the Ignatius Press Podcast.

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread” (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&search_query=distributed Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today's episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment. Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar's humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar's thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

In the 1996 British comedy-drama Secrets & Lies, Hortense, a young middle-class black woman in London, having lost both of her adoptive parents, decides to seek out her biological mother - who turns out to be a working-class white woman named Cynthia. Director Mike Leigh is known for collaborating in depth with his actors to create vivid, deeply realized characters and performances. Secrets & Lies is an outstanding specimen of a lost genre: a kitchen-sink drama that relies entirely on its rich humanity to keep us watching. Andrew Petiprin joins Criteria to discuss the movie.

Jews are God's Chosen People, and it is through God's gratuitous gift of grace that the rest of the world (the Gentiles) are grafted onto the tree of salvation. Get “From Sinai to Rome” Here: https://ignatius.com/from-sinai-to-rome-fstrp   Pope Pius XI once remarked, “Spiritually, we [Catholics] are all Semites,” and, as Saint Paul writes in Romans, in a sense, Christians are Jews by adoption. In today's episode, Andrew Petiprin is joined by Professors Angela Costley and Gavin D'Costa, who examine the question of Jewish–Catholic relations from every angle. They not only discuss how the Church is uniquely opposed to antisemitism, but also how the Church is deeply rooted in Judaism.

Fr Pat Driscoll on overcoming guilt and shame, Andrew Petiprin on why the Catholic Church is not a denomination, and Tom Hoopes asks whether the truth can change.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my friend author, podcaster, and former Episcopalian priest Andrew Petiprin to talk unpack one of the biggest misconceptions about the Catholic Church: that Catholicism is simply another Christian denomination. With aplomb, charity, and with Scripture and the history books in hand, Andrew explains exactly what's wrong with thinking of Catholicism as just another denomination, why that matters, and why it's abundantly  clear from history and Scripture that the Catholic Church is unique in a sea of Christian choices.Plus, we unpack the danger of thinking of the Church as an institution, the notion of the "rules" of Catholicism, and so much more. For more from Andrew listen to his complete conversion story way back on Episode 69 of the podcast.You can find Andrew's book, Faith Unboxed at Catholic Answers or any fine bookseller.
