Podcast appearances and mentions of Carl E Olson

“Christian existence must be cruciform—it has to be ready for martyrdom, especially now in the modern world.”   Larry Chapp's new book “Confession of a Catholic Worker” is a call to Christians to shake off the idolatrous spirit of the age, and go to the root of our Gospel calling: radical love and radical living according to the Sermon on the Mount.   In this episode, Chapp speaks with Carl E. Olson about the new book, how modern Christians can best confront today's spiritual and societal crises, and about the pitfalls of sharing the Gospel in a world increasingly in denial about the existence of the transcendent.   Related links: “Confession of a Catholic Worker: Our Moment of Christian Witness” by Larry Chapp “The Moment of Christian Witness” by Hans Urs von Balthasar Larry Chapp's website and blog, Gaudium et Spes 22 Catholic World Report – Global Church news and views

Was the Catholic Church slow to condemn racism? Can Catholic teaching be used to justify slavery? How should Catholics engage with Critical Race Theory, in its popular or academic forms?   In this episode, philosopher Edward Feser discusses these and other questions with Catholic World Report editor Carl E. Olson. Feser is the author of the new book “All One in Christ: A Catholic Critique of Racism and Critical Race Theory,” in which he examines what the Church has said and done historically on issues of race, and takes a close look at the origins—and recent bestselling popularizations—of Critical Race Theory.   Feser and Olson talk about the genesis of the book, common misconceptions about the Catholic Church and race, the inherent limitations of CRT, and more.   Find “All One in Christ” at Ignatius.com: http://bit.ly/3VZ0OWl   You can read more from Edward Feser on his blog: http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/   Feser was interviewed at Catholic World Report about “All One in Christ”: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2022/09/08/the-churchs-teachings-about-racism-and-the-truth-about-critical-race-theory/   “Countering disinformation about Critical Race Theory” by Edward Feser | Catholic World Report, 8/22/22: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2022/08/22/countering-disinformation-about-critical-race-theory/

Fifty years ago, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri de Lubac, and Joseph Ratzinger, among others, founded the theological journal Communio, which set out, as Balthasar put it, to “fight at all costs against the deadly polarization brought on by the fervor displayed by traditionalists and modernists alike” and “to perceive of the Church as a central communion, a community that originated from communion with Christ, who presented himself as a gift to the Church; as a communion that will enable us to share our hearts, thoughts, and blessings.”   In the last five decades, Communio has continued the work of its founding mission, advancing theological discussion and deepening the Church's understanding of her role in the world. Later this month, a conference celebrating the journal's 50th anniversary will take place at St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry.   In this episode, Mark Brumley and Carl E. Olson speak with the organizers of the conference—Matthew Kuhner, Ph.D., Vice President and Academic Dean at St. Bernard's; Daniel Drain, Coordinator of Academic Operations and Lecturer in Pastoral Theology at St. Bernard's; and Lisa Lickona, S.T.L., Assistant Professor of Systematic Theology at St. Bernard's. They discuss the mission and legacy of "Communio," its continued relevance in the life of the Church, and what they hope the conference will achieve.   Related links: Details about the conference, including in-person and virtual registration information, can be found here: https://stbernards.regfox.com/communioconference2022 The Fall 1992 issue of Communio contains a number of the journal's founding documents: https://www.communio-icr.com/issues/view/the-theology-of-henri-de-lubac-communio-at-twenty-years The Communio website includes a collection of individual articles (many available as PDFs) about the journal: https://www.communio-icr.com/about/articles  

Mark Brumley and Carl E. Olson discuss the latest news and features at Catholic World Report, including pieces about why some call Gen Z “the loneliest generation,” controversies about whether or not Humanae Vitae is infallible teaching, and the outsize influence of social media on how we think about the Church. Mentioned in this episode: “Walking with Generation Z: Understanding the Loneliest Generation” by Benjamin Eriksen: https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2022/08/11/walking-with-generation-z-understanding-the-loneliest-generation/ “Pope Francis, contraception, and the problem of ecclesial authority” by E.

Violence, nudity, bad language. These elements are often enough for Catholic viewers to dismiss movies and their potential impact entirely. But is it possible for people of faith to watch, enjoy, and critique the latest Hollywood offerings—without losing their souls? Douglas Beaumont thinks so, and explains why and how in his book, “The Message Behind the Movie, Reboot: Engaging Film without Disengaging Faith” (https://bit.ly/3xaWU37). In this episode, Beaumont talks with Carl E. Olson, editor of Catholic World Report, about the book, as well as how their mutual experience of converting to Catholicism from Evangelical Protestantism shaped how they watch and enjoy movies today.

Mark Brumley and Carl E. Olson join us from their respective home libraries to chat about the latest stories and features at Catholic World Report, including pieces on the war in Ukraine, the 50th anniversary of the release of “The Godfather,” and why Henry VIII—bad as he was—should not be “canceled.”

Ukraine, Biden, Lent, abortion, and "The Batman" - Mark Brumley sits down with author and editor Carl E. Olson to discuss the latest stories at Catholic World Report.

"A Manifesto of the New Traditionalism", published on the Gaudium et Spes 22 blog on December 22 (https://gaudiumetspes22.com/blog/a-manifesto-of-the-new-traditionalism), was co-authored by Sean Domencic, Larry Chapp, and Marc Barnes. Written "Catholic Worker perspective but with an eye toward the broader Church," it addresses four major topics: the nature of the Church, the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas as "a foundation for the valuable 'New Theologies'", how the "natural law and the preferential option for the poor have been united in Catholic Social Teaching", and how the "necessary Liturgical Renewal was begun, betrayed, and left unaccomplished". Dr. Chapp recently spoke with Catholic World Report editor Carl E. Olson and Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, about the manifesto.

In this first episode of the new season, we discover the significance of praying the Our Father during Lent, as we talk to CTS author and editor of Ignatius Insight, Carl E. Olson. Learn how praying the Our Father can deepen your appreciation of the Eucharist, and how it reminds Christians that we are not made for this world. Carl E. Olson is the author of Praying the Our Father in Lent, available to order from CTS.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by author Carl E. Olson to talk about what Catholics believe about the end times, the rapture, and dispensationalism. Carl grew up in the thick of fundamentalist, dispensationalist theology before becoming a Catholic along with his wife and has written a fantastic book on the subject. He joins me to unpack exactly what Catholics believe about the end of the world as well as where belief in the rapture comes from; the historical roots of the rapture, the development of the theology, and how a literal or plain sense meaning of the texts which underpin dispensationalist theology are simply untenable. Plus, we talk about some of the dangerous anti-Catholic origins of the dispensationalist worldview.

This week on the programme, sociologist-theologian Stephen Bullivant talks about his new book - an unflinching look at the state of the Church also finds rays of hope and fertile ground for the seeds of renewal - Catholicism in the Time of Coronavirus. Then, Carl E. Olson talks about how to talk about the health emergency and how to conduct public discourse - even controversy - in light of the faith.

Today's podcast features author, lecturer, and Ignatius Insight editor Carl E. Olson.  Raised in a Protestant family where Catholicism was not looked kindly upon, Carl's experiences in college soon opened his young mind to the true identity of the Catholic Church.  Since his coming home to the Church in the 1990s, he has written a number of marvelous books on faith and Catholic apologetics such as Will Catholics be Left Behind, The DaVinci Hoax, and Did Jesus Really Rise from the Dead? .This latest podcast explores both Will Catholics be Left Behind as well as his newest collection of scholarly essays on the fascinating topic of theosis entitled Called to be the Children of God: The Catholic Theology of Deification.  This episode begins with a discussion of his coming home to the Catholic Church as well as his reflections upon Bishop Robert Barron's Letter to a Suffering Church.  It also explores a recent controversial statement made by Pope Francis.

In this interview, I ask Carl E. Olson: 1) What got you interested in the Resurrection? 2) How would you respond to Dan Barker's objections? 3) What non-Resurrection theory do you think is most plausible and what do you think is wrong with it?  The Classical Theism Podcast aims to defend Catholic Christian ideas in conversation. With the help of various guests, I defend three pillars of the Catholic Christian worldview: (1) the God of classical theism exists, (2) Jesus is our Messiah and Lord, and (3) He founded the Catholic Church. We place a strong emphasis on the first pillar, defending classical theism, drawing upon the work of Thomistic philosopher Dr. Edward Feser and many others.   John DeRosa www.classicaltheism.com/contact

Welcome to Episode 031 of the “Awakening with Nathanael Wolf” podcast and radio broadcast.    In this episode, Nathanael teaches on the truly amazing meaning of salvation.     In this episode, you’ll discover: Salvation is so much more than we ever dared imagine—infinitely beyond what we ever thought or hoped it could be. Salvation is complete and experiential union with God, through Jesus Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Salvation is more than forgiveness of sins, more than an intellectual acceptance of Christ and His teachings, and more than going to heaven when we die. In salvation we are given union with God through Christ, a right and full relationship with the Holy Trinity, and the restoration of our full humanity.     Notable episode quotes: "According to (Mathias) Scheeben (1834-1888), the Christian sonship of which Scripture speaks, and which the Fathers expound, is not meant, he says, “by simple analogy or resemblance” with the eternal Sonship of the second Person of the Trinity, but in “literal truth”. This is an astonishing claim. By “literal truth”, Scheeben does not mean to abolish the personal distinction between the natural Son of the Father and the adoptive sons of God, but rather to emphasise the point that the predication “son of God” for the Christian is, somehow, warranted ontologically. Our sonship is not meant, he insists, “in some vague way”, but insofar as “the most important relations existing between a son and a father are present in our relations of sonship to God.” Above all else, this involves the real imparting of the divine nature to man—a finite communication of that same nature infinitely communicated to the eternal Son. Now, if the Son is one with the Father (Jn 10: 30), he is so “because He has the same nature” as he; likewise, insists Scheeben, “we too are one with God, like Him and conformable to Him in nature”, because we “receive, so to speak, the same nature, to the extent that we are capable of it”. Moreover, this is a new, divinely filial status, neither extrinsically realised nor imputed by decree, but procured by means of the real communication of a new life, effecting in the sinner’s very essence “a new internal goodness and beauty”. And though the Fathers speak of an “adoption”, they mean by this no “mere juridical adoption”, for what is communicated to us is a “new existence and life by an act that implies a kind of generation”". -Meconi, David Vincent, and Carl E.
