Why does the priest put on special clothing to celebrate the Mass? Is it purely aesthetic and ceremonial, or is there a theological significance? And when did all this start? Did the Apostles and early Church Fathers wear the same things that you see your local priest wear on Sundays? What was the historic and symbolic development of the cassock, the chasuble, and more?

We are tempted to be preoccupied with wanting to be "there" or wanting to be "done" with whatever we are working on or whatever we are doing. Yet, as Catholics, we are called to be "here".

Jimmy Akin explores this concern along with Catholic teaching on saints, Mary's spiritual motherhood, and mixed-faith marriages. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 02:18 – How can we reconcile Jesus saying that the Sabbath was made for man and the punishment of death for not recognizing the sabbath in the Old Testament? 10:21 – How can I defend the Church that was Instituted by Jesus Christ, especially on the topic of saints and Mary? 13:47 – Is St. Boniface VIII Unam Sanctam Papal bull statement infallible? If not, is there any dispute? 18:05 – How do we know that Mary's motherhood expands to the rest of us in the wake of Mary being given over to John at the foot of the cross? 28:45 – I'm Protestant. How do Catholics reconcile Mt 6:7-11 and the repetitious prayers specifically the Our Father? 35:01 – How do we respond to Orthodox rejection of the Filioque? 39:45 – Would it be scandalous for me to attend the ordination of a married couple as priests in the Episcopalian church? 49:35 – What advice would you offer me as someone who is in a mixed faith marriage?

    Text and Be HeardSpirituality often becomes a stumbling block in recovery, largely because we misunderstand what it truly means. This transformative episode explores the essence of spiritual connection beyond religious dogma and rigid beliefs.What does it mean to have faith in recovery? It's not about church attendance or following specific religious practices. Rather, it's about fundamental questions of trust and faith that help us release control and find genuine serenity. We examine how generations have increasingly disconnected from spiritual foundations, creating challenges for those seeking recovery. With only 25% of self-identified Catholics attending weekly services today compared to 75% in the 1960s, many enter recovery without any spiritual framework whatsoever.The key breakthrough comes when we recognize that faith begins where reason ends. By exploring deeper questions—Who do you trust? What do you believe in? Can you have faith in yourself?—we discover that spiritual connection transcends intellectual understanding. This isn't merely philosophical; research consistently shows that people who embrace spiritual practices heal faster and experience fewer complications in their recovery journey. That sensation of "feeling God in my blood" represents the profound peace that comes from connecting to something greater than ourselves.Developing gratitude, letting go of control, and embracing trust are practical spiritual principles that transform recovery from a struggle into a journey of growth. Have you considered how your relationship with trust and faith might be affecting your recovery? Join our Recovery Freedom Circle community to explore these concepts further and discover how spiritual connection might be the missing piece in your recovery puzzle.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

Send us a text by clicking this link!Something unexpected is happening in Catholic churches around the world. While mainstream narratives suggest declining religious participation, a quiet revolution is brewing in the most surprising demographic: Gen Z. We're witnessing a remarkable surge in young Catholics embracing traditional liturgical practices, with recent data showing Latin Mass communities growing despite official Vatican restrictions. The Atlantic reports that these communities have been relegated to school gymnasiums and storage rooms, yet continue to attract devoted followers – particularly young ones. Studies show 44% of Latin Mass attendees are under 45, compared to just 20% in regular parishes.This trend isn't limited to America. In the UK, Catholics now outnumber Anglicans two-to-one among Gen Z, part of a pattern observed across all age groups. The Bible Society's research reveals Christianity growing after decades of decline, driven specifically by young adults seeking community, meaning, and connection in an age of social media fragmentation and mental health challenges.What's drawing the younger generation to ancient liturgical forms? For many, it's the reverence, beauty, and historical connection missing in contemporary worship. As one attendee simply put it: "This is a place where we more easily meet God." Others value the ceremonial aspects, Gregorian chant, periods of silence, and emphasis on sacrifice that characterize traditional practices.This phenomenon appears to follow what scholars call the "strict church hypothesis" – religious groups tend to thrive when membership demands commitment and sacrifice. In our increasingly secular world, perhaps the future of faith lies paradoxically in its ancient past.What do you think is driving this traditional religious revival among young people?

It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.     --------------------------------------------------------------------  Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.
