Pretty Girls Make Graves. In this episode, we sit with Flannery O'Connor's introduction to A Memoir of Mary Ann, A memoir of a little girl who lived for 12 years at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer Home in Atlanta, Georgia. Written by the nuns at the home, with a substantial introduction by Flannery O'Connor. This is a deeply moving meditation on pain, suffering, loss, and why the good hides himself behind the grotesque.

We're in This Together. In this episode, we sit with Bo Giertz and read his open letter to the churches — A Shepherd's Letter. As translator, Bror Erickson says of the opening section (we read on the show), "Crises and Sources of Strength": "Christians had been systematically persecuted by the Nazis, and this systematic persecution continued in soviet countries. However, in Western Europe, church leaders like Bo Giertz saw how increasing industrialization was also assisting an increasing secularism. There were huge population shifts into the city, and people lost track of the church even as the church lost track of the people during these shifts. Some political parties were also actively hostile to the church. The trends toward secularism and atheism in the West have continued, of course, and have also become a point of consternation for believers even to this day. This age has not ceased to be evil since Paul designated it as such in Gal. 1:4. So the church continues and will continue to suffer crises, and so the essay "Crises and Sources of Strength" takes on a sort of timeless dimension that way.

“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so must you do also.” - Colossians 3:12-13 “As moral activity develops, he [the child] wants to use his own judgment, which often will be quite different from that of his teachers. There is nothing more difficult than to teach moral values to a child of this age; he gives an immediate retort to everything that we say, having become a rebel…An inner change has taken place, but nature is quite logical in arousing now in the child not only a hunger for knowledge and understanding, but a claim to mental independence, a desire to distinguish good from evil by his own powers, and to resent limitation by arbitrary authority. In the field of morality, the child now stands in need of his own inner light.” Maria Montessori, To Educate the Human Potential, pg 4 Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!

Sola Scriptura: A Theological Debate The Bible never says Scripture is the sole authority of the Christian faith, and the Latin proves it. In this episode, we examine three texts from St. Paul and St. Peter and let the grammar do the work. No philosophical argument. No circular reasoning. Just the words themselves, in the language the Church has always read them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 - Introduction: The question underneath every Protestant-Catholic divide 0:30 - Why this approach is different: grammar, not argument 1:00 - 2 Thessalonians 2:15, Tenete traditiones: spoken word and letter as equals 2:00 - 1 Timothy 3:15, Columna et firmamentum: the Church as pillar of truth 3:00 - The verse where Paul could have said "Scripture" and didn't 3:30 - Subscribe/support note 3:45 - 2 Peter 1:20, Propria interpretazione: Peter forecloses private reading 4:30 - What the three anchors do together 5:00 - Patreon Deep Dive: the second-century witness 5:20 - Closing prayers: Pater Noster, Ave Maria, Gloria Patri The Patreon-Only Deep Dive goes further, a second-century witness trained by a man who knew St. John names the exact principle that makes sola scriptura impossible, and calls it the rule of truth.

Valete (Goodbye) This video explores the concept of biblical authority within Christianity, specifically addressing the divide between Protestant and Catholic beliefs. We examine why the Bible does not explicitly state scripture is the sole authority, and how Latin texts provide additional insight. The discussion sheds light on the differences between "sola scriptura" and the Catholic view, offering a deeper understanding of the Christian theology at play. You will also see familiar Latin prayers such as Pater Noster, Ave Maria, and Gloria Patri.

With Arms Wide Open! In this episode, on the eve of Trinity Sunday, we sit with Carl Trueman's essay, "The Value and Role of Creeds and Confession." Is there any usefulness of Creeds and Confessions at present? Are they important as historic documents? Are they authoritative for the churches? What are the biblical origins of the ecumenical creeds, and are they the rule of faith for contemporary Christians? What about contemporary churches that write their own creeds, confessions, or statements of faith — do they participate in the catholic faith, or are they confessing something separate from historic, orthodox Christianity? All that and much, much more on this episode of Banned Books.

The Mosaic Word. In this episode, we sit with Michael Heiser's book, The Unseen Realm, on reading the Bible. What are the rules of engagement when one reads Scripture? What filters do we apply to the biblical texts, and are they helpful or do they blind us? What, then, are the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying the biblical narratives? What do we assume about the Bible that is true, and what is not? Have moderns been desensitized to the vitality and theological importance of the unseen world? Does modern Christianity suffer from two serious shortcomings when it comes to the supernatural world? Do we assume that a lot of things in the Bible are too odd or peripheral to matter? What if the weird parts of the Bible are the most important? SHOW NOTES: Dr. Michael S.

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE! Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study Sr. Mary Rose joins us today to explore the prayer life of the second plane child—what it can look like in the atrium and beyond, how we as adults and catechists can nurture the child's natural relationship with God, and the role communal prayer plays in the Level II and III atria. Sr Mary Rose Bingham became a Dominican Sister of St. Cecilia of Nashville, TN in 1980. She has had the opportunity to serve as a teacher and principal in several states. Besides a Masters in Educational Administration, she has a Masters in Elementary Education with Montessori Primary and a Masters in Theology. She is a CGS Level 1 and 2 formation Leader and pending Level 3. She delights in being with children in a Level 1,2, and 3 atria while also traveling to give formation courses both nationally and internationally. Characteristic #3: The atrium is a community in which children and adults live together a religious experience which facilitates participation in the wider community of the family, the church, and other social spheres. The atrium is a place of prayer, in which work and study spontaneously become meditation, contemplation, and prayer. The atrium is a place in which the only Teacher is Christ; both children and adults place themselves in a listening stance before his Word and seek to penetrate the mystery of the liturgical celebration.

When Pope Leo XIV issued his first apostolic exhortation, he chose a title drawn from the Book of Revelation: Dilexi te — "I have loved you." Those words, addressed to a community with little power and little standing, become in this document Christ's word to the poor of every age. The poor are not a problem to be managed. They are, the Pope insists, the place where Christ continues to speak.But who exactly are the poor? That question turns out to be less obvious than it sounds. Poverty, as Fr. Cristian Mendoza Ovando helps us see in this conversation, is not one thing. It is material and spiritual, negative and positive, something suffered and — in a different sense — something chosen. Any serious reading of Dilexi te has to reckon with that complexity.Fr. Cristian, who teaches at Santa Croce in Rome, joins me today following a lecture he gave on Dilexi te at the University of Notre Dame.Follow-up Resources:Dilexi Te, Apostolic Exhortation by Pope Leo XIV“Anthropological concerns regarding digital technologies,” by Fr.

What happens when secular culture does a better job of shaping our desires and beliefs than the church?Trinity Anglican Seminary theology professor Dr. Alex Fogelman joins host PJ Wehry to discuss the decline of discipleship and how modern culture invisibly catechizes us.Dr. Fogelman explores the historical roots of foundational instruction and his book Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice. They examine why pragmatic approaches to church growth fail and how a comprehensive introduction to the faith can deeply root believers against the shifting winds of the modern age.In this conversation they explore:Why the "learning of faith" is essential, even though faith is a divine gift, to help form a new humanity. How the endless scroll of social media, pop culture, and shopping malls act as powerful forms of "cultural catechesis" that shape our vision of the good life. The flaws of imitating cultural forms, like "Christian Pokémon" or "Christian AI," and why simply swapping out the content ignores how the medium shapes the message. How the "TikTok age" exacerbates a sense of ephemeral rootlessness that prevents true human flourishing. The danger of church pragmatism and why sustainable ministry must integrate theology, history, and practice together. Practical strategies for making catechesis the "front porch" of the church, where the faith is passed on person-to-person rather than through an automated screen.This is a conversation for anyone interested in theology, cultural analysis, and discipleship who wants to understand the hidden liturgies shaping our minds and how to build a more grounded faith.Make sure to check out Dr. Fogleman's book: Making Disciples: Catechesis in History, Theology, and Practice
Money, Porn, and Godly Relationships. In this episode, we answer emails from listeners that ask us to discuss the godly use of money and pornography addiction. How should Christians view the usage of money and possessions? How has the Church changed its view of money over time? What effect has the Industrial Revolution and the rise of therapy-speak had on churches as regards money, relationships, and what passes for a godly life? How do we view relationships, fidelity, and lustful attraction in relation to Jesus' teaching on mammon and adultery? This and much, much more on today's episode of the podcast.

"When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all." -1 Corinthians 15:28 Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE! Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study Ann Garrido joins us on the podcast again and today she speaks about the life and theology of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the French Jesuit priest whose writings and theology Sofia mentions in the chapter My Readings from Way of Holy Joy which is a book of selected writings of Sofia Cavalletti. Ann tells us about this unique theologian, helps us explore the similarities in his work and those of Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti as well as where we can see his influence in the work of The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Ann Garrido has been a catechist of the Good Shepherd since 1996. She has served as a catechist and formation leader at all three levels. Ann is an Associate Professor and Director of the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership at the Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. She is the author of multiple works, including her newest book Redeeming Power about the healthy and holy exercise of leadership. Ann Garrido's website HERE “Above all, trust in the slow work of God. We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay. We should like to skip the intermediate stages. We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet, it is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through some stages of instability- and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you, your ideas mature gradually- let them grow, let them shape themselves without undue haste. Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time (that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will) will make you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be. Give our Lord the benefit of believing that God's hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, The Making of a Mind, from a letter written July 4, 1915 “The Son of God became man so that man might become God” - St Althanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, On the Incarnation Website on the Aquinas Children's Worship Partnership CGS Heritage A good biography of Teilhard Podcasts about CGS Heritage/Influencers: 109: Father Dalmazio Mongillo 92: Who was Adele Costa Gnocchi 78: A Glimpse of Gianna Gobbi 76: Romano Guardini 71: A Glimpse at Sofia 68: Eugenio Zolli 60: Pioneers of CGS with Betty Hissong 57: Celebrating the Life of Tina Lillig Podcasts Episodes with Ann Garrido: Episode 19 – Typology with Ann Garrido Episode 53 – The Birth and Infancy of Jesus with Ann Garrido Episode 59 – Preaching with Children with Ann Garrido Episode 68 – The CGS Heritage – Eugenio Zolli with Ann Garrido Episode 111.

Deification: A secret in the Catholic Church that really shouldn't be a secret. Join Dr. Gerry Crete, Dr Matthew Tsakanikas, professor of theology at Christendom College, and Dr. Peter for a wide-ranging discussion of the glory, the adventure, the awe of partaking of God's divine nature with the entirety of our being – our hearts, souls, minds, bodies, innermost selves, and all our parts, from a perspective informed by Internal Family Systems and grounded in a Catholic anthropology and metaphysics. What does it really mean for all of you to be a beloved little son or beloved little daughter of God?

Key Moments12:00 What is deification/theosis/divinization? Being made a son or daughter of God means sharing in God's nature. 15:00 Ephesians chapter 1 reveals God's plan from before the foundation of the world to makes us sons in the Son. 16:52 Dr. Gerry's objections to the IFS conceptualization of “Self”21:01 The image of God within us is dynamic – the “capax Dei” 21:50 How Adam and Eve lost their interior integration with the Fall and how Jesus opens the way for re-integration.27:05 Satan to Adam and Eve “Ye shall become like gods….” 30:30 How do we receive the love of God? 34:20 The internal battle: “Parts of me are drawn to receive God's love and parts of me are not…”41:19 The necessity of entering into a loving relationship with Jesus for interior integration43:40 God's wills that you flourish in all domains and in all your parts48:40 Divinization and the human body53:00 Divinization is “too hot to handle” for many Christians – but it's the essential framework for all of the Catholic life, it's the essential story that holds all the other stories. 1:02:00 The importance of accepting all of my parts as they are right now. God accepts all parts as they are, so I need to as well. Acceptance of a part does not mean endorsing that part's disordered desires, impulses, and emotions1:08:35 Sometimes parts find it easier to tolerate being loved by someone other than God at first, and that lesser loves can help parts open up to God's direct love1:25:01 Dr. Tsakanikas' key takeaway: Love makes the lover want to make the beloved equal to himself,1:26:28 Dr, Gerry's takeaway: It's important for us to evangelize each of our own parts1:27:54 Dr. Peter's takeaway: Real love is given freely. But in our fallen human states, in our fallen human condition, it's not received without a cost to our parts.
There is a lot of animosity out there, a lot of distrust, and a lot of fear and persistent anxiety about so many things. Where, in all that, can we go to find words that bring life? In particular, where might we find books that rise above the morass of the day to show us art that builds on the foundations of truth, beauty, and goodness? Providing a place that does just this, where a community of thinkers, writers, and readers are engaged in the common mission of preserving literate culture for generations to come … is precisely the mission of the new imprint from Word on Fire, called Luminor.By publishing novels, short stories, memoirs, poetry, and more, Luminor brings out buried riches from the treasury of Catholic literature and highlights fresh voices among writers formed by Catholicity in our time. Joining me today is Katy Carl, editor of Luminor, to share with us why this mission is so important today and what we can expect to find in this new imprint.Links:Learn more about Luminor at https://www.wordonfire.org/luminor “When Nobody Reads Anymore: Positionality, Prophecy, and the Artist's Vocation” by Katy Carl, article via Church Life Journal“Why Literature Still Matters, with Jason Baxter,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“Graham Greene's ‘The End of the Affair,' A Conversation with Josh McManaway,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“Dilexit Nos—Part 1, a conversation with Josh McManaway and Melissa Moschella,” podcast episode via Church Life Today“Dilexit Nos—Part 2, a conversation with Abigail Favale and Brett Robinson,” podcast episode via Church Life TodayChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Every Picture Tells a Story. In this episode, we sit with John of Damascus to listen to him teach us about the veneration of icons — what that means, why it's a subject of dispute, how scripture distinguishes between graven images and god- pleasing icons, and how this all ties into worship and vocation. This and much, much more on this week's episode.

Learn the Latin of Scripture on Church Authority | Acts 20:28, Hebrews 5:4, Titus 1:5 Learn the Latin of Scripture and see what it reveals about authority in Christ's Church. In this episode, we examine key Latin verbs from three passages, Acts 20:28, Hebrews 5:4, and Titus 1:5, to understand how sacred office is given, not taken. This episode is a Scripture-focused catechesis using the Latin text to show: - How the Holy Spirit “placed” overseers (Latin verb examined in context) - Why “no one takes this honour to himself” - What it means to be “appointed” to office The Latin is explained line by line with attention to grammar and meaning, so you can see why self-appointment is not envisioned in these texts. If you value this style of learning, consider supporting the work and getting access to deeper formation and resources on Patreon (linked below). In the Patreon-only deep dive, we explore how the earliest Christians recognized and spoke about this New Eve typology long before the Reformation.

Music Credit: 3MDEHDDQTEJ1NBB0 Welcome back to another episode of YouTube Catechesis, where we look to scripture for corroboration on the titulos languages. Pontius Pilate inscribed "jesus christ" on the cross in "biblical hebrew", "koine greek", and Latin, highlighting their sacred use. This episode emphasizes the grammatical precision of these ancient languages, offering insights for "language learning" and a deeper understanding of "new testament" contexts. #neweve #Genesis315 #CatholicScripture #Typology #blessedmother
