Podcasts about Church Fathers

Okay, put on your theological thinking caps, because in this podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, you'll get a great answer to a BIG question: How do we know Jesus founded the Catholic Church and not some other Christian group? Patrick brings the receipts, the analogies, and yes… the flat earth references. The Question That Sparked It All A listener named Timothy emails Patrick this question: “Hey Patrick, aren’t you being a little harsh? You call out Protestants for coming down on Catholics, but then don’t you come down just as hard on non-Catholics? Aren’t both sides just passionate about what they believe?” Timothy’s tone is respectful. And Patrick loves it. He takes it seriously. He gives a full, no-punches-pulled response: rooted in reason, history, and good old-fashioned Catholic confidence. The Flat Earth Analogy Patrick compares Protestantism to… flat earth theory. Not because Protestants are dumb (he’s clear about that; they’re very sincere, smart, and well-meaning), but because: You can be sincere… and still be sincerely wrong. He argues that Protestant theology, like flat earth theory, is demonstrably false. It just doesn’t hold up when you look at Scripture, history, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. Just as science clearly disproves a flat earth, Church history disproves that Protestantism was ever the original Christianity. So, What Does the Bible Say? Patrick points out that Protestantism often relies on concepts like: Sola Scriptura ("Bible alone") Once Saved, Always Saved …which aren’t in the Bible... and in some cases are even contradicted by the Bible. He brings up passages like: 2 Thessalonians 2:15: Hold fast to the traditions, oral and written. 1 Corinthians 11: Keep the traditions as I delivered them. These support Catholic teachings about Scripture and Tradition. Patrick says that trusting only personal Bible interpretation turns the faith into a theological Rubik’s Cube: everyone has their own twist on it. That’s just not how Jesus set it up. Early Christians Weren’t Protestant, They Were... Catholic He brings up St. John Henry Newman, the Anglican scholar who tried to disprove Catholicism… and ended up converting because the evidence was so overwhelming. The early Church: Believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist Celebrated the Mass as a sacrifice Had sacraments, priests, apostolic authority Baptized babies Defended Trinitarian doctrine against heresies And all this was happening centuries before the Reformation. Protestantism, Patrick argues, is a latecomer: a break from the historical Church, not a return to it. The Church is Noah’s Ark Patrick closes with a beautiful, personal touch: The Catholic Church is the Ark Jesus built to carry us through the flood of confusion, division, and error. He didn’t leave us a Rubik’s Cube Bible to figure out solo. He left us a Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. That’s why Patrick is confident, not just passionate. He's not trying to win arguments. He’s trying to show that there’s an unbroken, visible, historical Church founded by Christ, and it’s Catholic.

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Fourth Week of Easter Lectionary: 279The Saint of the day is Saint Leopold MandicSaint Leopold Mandic's story Western Christians who are working for greater dialogue with Orthodox Christians may be reaping the fruits of Father Leopold's prayers. A native of Croatia, Leopold joined the Capuchin Franciscans and was ordained several years later in spite of several health problems. He could not speak loudly enough to preach publicly. For many years he also suffered from severe arthritis, poor eyesight, and a stomach ailment. For several years Leopold taught patrology, the study of the Church Fathers, to the clerics of his province, but he is best known for his work in the confessional, where he sometimes spent 13-15 hours a day. Several bishops sought out his spiritual advice. Leopold's dream was to go to the Orthodox Christians and work for the reunion of Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. His health never permitted it. Leopold often renewed his vow to go to the Eastern Christians; the cause of unity was constantly in his prayers. At a time when Pope Pius XII said that the greatest sin of our time is “to have lost all sense of sin,” Leopold had a profound sense of sin and an even firmer sense of God's grace awaiting human cooperation. Leopold, who lived most of his life in Padua, died on July 30, 1942, and was canonized in 1982. In the Roman liturgy his feast is celebrated on July 30. Reflection Saint Francis advised his followers to “pursue what they must desire above all things, to have the Spirit of the Lord and His holy manner of working” (Rule of 1223, Chapter 10)—words that Leopold lived out. When the Capuchin minister general wrote his friars on the occasion of Leopold's beatification, he said that this friar's life showed “the priority of that which is essential.” Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

The standard textbook of theology in medieval universities was the Sentences by Peter Lombard, bishop of Paris from 1095-1160. This collection systematically arranged the theological judgments of Scripture and the Church Fathers on various topics. For almost four centuries, those seeking higher credentials in theology had to study, teach, and comment on Lombard's Sentences. It was formative for the likes of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Bonaventure. Over time, the genre of commentaries on the Sentences became its own vehicle for new developments in theology. The Sentences was not replaced by Aquinas's Summa as a standard textbook until the 16th century. Philosopher Philipp Rosemann has written two books on the Sentences and its significance for the development of theology. The first, Peter Lombard (2004), is about Lombard and his book. The second, The Story of a Great Medieval Book: Peter Lombard's “Sentences” (2007), is about the commentary tradition on the Sentences. Rosemann gives fascinating insights into the development as theology as a systematic science, which had profound ramifications for Catholic spiritual life and the history of the West.

More than just a symbol, baptism is a sacrament with real spiritual power. We dive into what it accomplishes, who can receive it, and how early Christians—like the Church Fathers—understood it. Plus, we explore topics like baptism of desire, evangelical outreach, and infant baptism. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 13:43 – Is it possible to apply baptism of desire to the good thief on the cross? 17:20 – I'm Protestant. Do Catholics have evangelical events where they give people an opportunity to respond to God and be saved? 20:30 – What is baptism and what does it do for us? 30:02 – I see salvific baptism in the Church Father but not a lot of infant baptism. Where do we hear about that in the Church Fathers? 38:17 – Does water have to touch the skin in order for the baptism to be valid? 42:48 – If baptism has a purifying effect, then why aren't we being baptized on a regular basis? 51:19 – What if a person is baptized in a Baptist church in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit but doesn’t believe that it’s regenerative. Is it still valid?

This Easter, we reflect not just on the event of the resurrection but the deeper story unfolding within it — a cosmic collision of heaven and earth. For centuries, the Jewish people longed for a Messiah who would come in power and liberate them from oppression. But Jesus came not as a political savior but as a suffering servant, confronting not just Rome, but the root of all human brokenness — sin and separation from God. The cross, once a symbol of defeat, becomes the ultimate paradox: weakness turned into strength, death into life, shame into glory. The early Church Fathers saw it as more than an execution device — they saw it as a cosmic intersection, where time met eternity, and love redefined power.What if we've misunderstood where God is? Many imagine Him as distant, above the sky, out there somewhere — but Easter tells a different story. He came. He entered creation, submitted to human limitations, and became the bridge between the spiritual and natural world. The torn veil wasn't just symbolic — it marked the end of separation. Love led Him to the cross, and love is what continues to hold the universe together. This isn't just about forgiveness — it's about restoration. The story of God is not just about fall and redemption but about creation, restoration, and His continued presence with us. This Easter, may we become more aware — not of a distant God, but of the One who is already near.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

The Psalms are a collection of 150 Songs carefully placed inside 5 books of Psalms:  Book 1:1-41, Book 2:42-72, Book: 3:73-89, Book 4:90-106, Book 5:107-150.  The first three books are primarily lament Psalms.  Sadness, anger, and bewilderment are prayed out.  The final two books include two very angry Psalms, 109 and 137, but these books are dominated by Praise.  The final six Psalms thunder with the praise of the "I Am "God. The five books of Psalms are clearly intended as responsive speech to the five books of the Pentateuch, Genesis - Deuteronomy.  The Pentateuch is the story of "I am" calling Israel to be His crisis relief for the entire creation. The Psalms are prayed from the time of David, 1000 B.C., from inside the story the Hebrew scripture tells.  The Psalter was not collected into its current form until the 4th century B.C.  By then Israel had been in exile for two hundred years.  Yet the Israel of the 2nd Temple, 530 B.C. to 70, AD., is singing her faith in the rebuilt temple and those living outside Judea are singing inside synagogues throughout the Roman empire.  The Psalms were Jesus' prayer book and were prayed by the early church.  (Matt. 27:46, Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19) We will pray and praise a representative collection of the Great Psalms of the Psalter -Psalms 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, 19, 22, 23, 42, 51, 73-74, 88-89, 90, 104-106, 109, 110, and 139.  We will pray out to the Lord God our emotions and struggles, but we will continue praying through from confusion, doubt, and anger to more clarity, trust, and peace.  We will be encouraged, rebuked, and discipled by the ancient Songs of Israel, Jesus, and our Church Fathers and Mothers. The "I Am," the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will bless us as we draw near to God together.  Come join us on the Way.

St. Anselm (1033 - 1109 AD) was Abbot of the monastery of Bec, and later, Archbishop of Canterbury. He was the first of the medieval scholastics, and the first real systematic theologian. His treatise, Cur Deus Homo brought together biblical and patristic themes related to salvation and the atonement to provide the Church with a comprehensive (up to that point) teaching on the Incarnation and the Atonement, known as the Satisfaction Theory of Atonement.  Links To read Anselm's Cur Deus Homo online: https://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/ans/ans117.htm To read several of the most important works of St. Anselm, get the book Anselm of Canterbury: The Major Works:  https://global.oup.com/academic/product/anselm-of-canterbury-the-major-works-9780199540082?q=Anselm%20major%20works&lang=en&cc=us For more on the medieval scholastics, the atonement, and St. Anselm, see the book Reading the Church Fathers: https://sophiainstitute.com/product/reading-the-church-fathers/  SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's Newsletter:  https://www.catholicculture.org/newsletters/ DONATE at:  http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio Dr. Papandrea's Homepage:  http://www.jimpapandrea.com Dr. Papandrea's YouTube channel, The Original Church: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOriginalChurch To ask questions, make comments, or interact with Dr. Papandrea, join the conversation in the Original Church Community: https://theoriginalchurch.locals.com/ Theme Music: Gaudeamus (Introit for the Feast of All Saints), sung by Jeff Ostrowski.

Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Why did Jesus have to suffer and die on the cross? On this Good Friday episode of Catholic Answers Live, Cy Kellett speaks with Joe Heschmeyer, author of The Early Church Was the Catholic Church, to unpack the meaning behind Christ's crucifixion. Joe explains how the cross is not divine punishment but the ultimate act of love—God offering Himself for our salvation. Drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, this episode explores: Why there's no Mass on Good Friday The meaning of Christ's sacrifice How the cross heals our relationship with God The spiritual power of praying before the crucifix Why Good Friday is both history's darkest and brightest day

Patrick tackles tough family conversations, like handling confusing messages about gender with grandkids and standing firm in faith when it’s unpopular. Patrick answers questions about abstaining from meat during Holy Week, clears up misunderstandings about Catholic customs, and offers advice on enjoying music that fits Catholic values. He explains why some parishes shorten Easter Vigil readings and addresses whether Catholics need to host Seder meals. Maureen - My 5-year-old grandson told me that some boys don't have penises. How am I supposed to respond to this? It seems like child abuse. (01:50) Email – What counts as a Vigil Mass? (07:41) Mischa - Can you recommend any ways I can ethically listen to popular music that is not specifically religious, but is not in conflict with Catholic values? (09:21 Andrew - How is Church fairing with respect and solemnity of Triduum? (12:43) Maggie - In Mexico, we had a tradition to abstain from meat during the entire Holy Week? is this just a cultural tradition? (22:06) Robert – Are there any comments from the early Church Father's on what Our Lord was doing in the Temple? (29:12) Maribel - The Vatican website says that the local bishops have further authority in this practice. The US conference of Bishops are clear in this but in Mexico, some bishops have said that people can eat chicken. Hence the confusion among these people. (34:47) Lilly - If we die in state of grace, does Jesus remember our sins? Will he reveal all of our sins? (37:25) Carmen - Do Catholics make Seder meals on Holy Thursday? Is there a good Holy Thursday meal? (42:51)

If sin is forgiven, why does temporal punishment still exist? We explore scriptural and early Church support for this Catholic teaching and also touch on the rapture, eternal punishment, and how Protestants can begin attending a faithful Catholic parish.

How do I go about finding a good faithful church? 41:44 – How can we have such confidence in faith as the Church defines it? 49:42 – Eternal punishment troubles me. How do we harmonize God being all good and loving when he created people knowing they will suffer forever?

A sinful woman comes to Christ our God in Bethany. She breaks open an alabaster jar of precious oil and anoints Jesus with the oil and her tears. Jesus says that wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will be told as a memorial to her." The Church Fathers teach us that one of the interpretations we must know is that the very valuable alabaster jar of oil represents the soul. True repentance is the broken soul poured out upon Jesus in blessed repentance. In return, Christ our God pours out the oil of His mercy and healing restoring the condition of the souls of mankind.

Today in the Catholic Mass Series, we continue our discussion of the Mass's visual and ceremonial aspects with a review of the history, symbolism, and function of priestly and episcopal vestments. 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?

What happens when we examine the foundational Protestant doctrine of Sola Scriptura through an Orthodox Christian lens? This thought-provoking seminar challenges the notion that Scripture alone is the final authority for Christians by examining biblical, historical, and theological evidence to the contrary.Ben (Luigi), a former Protestant pastor's son who later embraced Reformed theology before finding his home in Orthodox Christianity, brings both personal experience and scholarly depth to this complex subject. With remarkable clarity, Luigi demonstrates how Scripture itself affirms the authority of oral tradition alongside written texts, pointing to passages where Jesus and the apostles relied on extrabiblical traditions as binding and authoritative.The seminar explores how the early Church resolved doctrinal disputes through councils rather than individual interpretation, establishing a pattern that continued through the ecumenical councils which defined essential Christian doctrines. Ben tackles the challenging "canon conundrum" – how Protestants must rely on Church authority to establish which books belong in the Bible while simultaneously rejecting that same authority in matters of interpretation and practice.Drawing from Church Fathers like St. Basil and St. Irenaeus, Ben reveals how the earliest Christians viewed Scripture and Tradition not as competing authorities but as complementary expressions of divine revelation. Even Protestant scholars acknowledge that the early Church didn't limit "inspiration" to canonical writings alone.Whether you're an Orthodox Christian seeking to better understand and articulate your faith, a Protestant curious about Orthodox perspectives, or simply interested in Christian history and theology, this seminar provides valuable insights into how the earliest Christians understood authority, revelation, and the relationship between Scripture and Tradition.

The Psalms are a collection of 150 Songs carefully placed inside 5 books of Psalms:  Book 1:1-41, Book 2:42-72, Book: 3:73-89, Book 4:90-106, Book 5:107-150.  The first three books are primarily lament Psalms.  Sadness, anger, and bewilderment are prayed out.  The final two books include two very angry Psalms, 109 and 137, but these books are dominated by Praise.  The final six Psalms thunder with the praise of the "I Am "God. The five books of Psalms are clearly intended as responsive speech to the five books of the Pentateuch, Genesis - Deuteronomy.  The Pentateuch is the story of "I am" calling Israel to be His crisis relief for the entire creation. The Psalms are prayed from the time of David, 1000 B.C., from inside the story the Hebrew scripture tells.  The Psalter was not collected into its current form until the 4th century B.C.  By then Israel had been in exile for two hundred years.  Yet the Israel of the 2nd Temple, 530 B.C. to 70, AD., is singing her faith in the rebuilt temple and those living outside Judea are singing inside synagogues throughout the Roman empire.  The Psalms were Jesus' prayer book and were prayed by the early church.  (Matt. 27:46, Col. 3:16, Eph. 5:19) We will pray and praise a representative collection of the Great Psalms of the Psalter -Psalms 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, 19, 22, 23, 42, 51, 73-74, 88-89, 90, 104-106, 109, 110, and 139.  We will pray out to the Lord God our emotions and struggles, but we will continue praying through from confusion, doubt, and anger to more clarity, trust, and peace.  We will be encouraged, rebuked, and discipled by the ancient Songs of Israel, Jesus, and our Church Fathers and Mothers. The "I Am," the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, will bless us as we draw near to God together.  Come join us on the Way.

What does it mean that Christ “descended into hell”? In this episode, we look into an often debated line in the Apostles' Creed. We explore how the doctrine of the Descent into Hell developed in early Church history, how it was understood by the Church Fathers, and how it shaped theological imagination through the centuries. We then trace the shift in interpretation during the Reformation, unpacking how Protestant traditions wrestled with—or rejected—this ancient teaching. Finally, we focus in on Lutheranism, where the Descent holds a unique and powerful place in Christology and the victory of the cross. Join us for a journey through Scripture, creed, and controversy as we uncover the rich and complex legacy of Christ's descent—and what it means for us today. ----more---- Host: Fr.

Read Online“Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for what he does, the Son will do also. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed.” John 5:19–20The most central and most glorious mystery of our faith is that of the Most Holy Trinity. God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one God yet three distinct Persons. As divine “Persons,” each one is distinct; but as one God, each Person acts in perfect union with the others. In today's Gospel, Jesus clearly identifies the Father in Heaven as His Father and clearly states that He and His Father are one. For this reason, there were those who wanted to kill Jesus because He “called God his own father, making himself equal to God.”The sad reality is that the greatest and most glorious truth of God's inner life, the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity, was one of the primary reasons that some chose to hate Jesus and sought His life. Clearly, it was their ignorance of this glorious truth that drove them to this hatred.We call the Holy Trinity a “mystery,” not because they cannot be known but because our knowledge of Who They are can never be fully understood. For eternity, we will enter deeper and deeper into our knowledge of the Trinity and be “amazed” on a continually deepening level.One additional aspect of the mystery of the Trinity is that each one of us is called to share in Their very life. We will forever remain distinct from God; but, as many of the early Church Fathers liked to say, we must become “divinized,” meaning, we must share in God's divine life through our union of body and soul with Christ Jesus. That union also unites us with the Father and the Spirit. This truth should also leave us “amazed,” as we read in the passage above.As we continue to read this week from the Gospel of John and continue to ponder the mysterious and profound teaching of Jesus on His relationship with the Father in Heaven, it is essential that we not simply gloss over the mysterious language Jesus uses. Rather, we must prayerfully enter the mystery and allow our penetration of this mystery to leave us truly amazed. Amazement and transforming edification is the only good response. We will never fully understand the Trinity, but we must allow the truth of our Triune God to take hold of us and enrichen us, at very least, in a way that knows how much we do not know—and that knowledge leaves us in awe.Reflect, today, upon the sacred mystery of the Most Holy Trinity. Pray that God reveals Himself more fully to your mind and more completely consume your will. Pray that you will be able to share deeply in the life of the Trinity so that you will be filled with a holy amazement and awe.Most holy and triune God, the love You share within Your very being of Father, Son and Holy Spirit is beyond my comprehension. The mystery of Your triune life is a mystery of the greatest degree. Draw me in, dear Lord, to the life You share with Your Father and the Holy Spirit. Fill me with wonder and awe as You invite me to share in Your divine life. Most Holy Trinity, I trust in You.Image: Andrei Rublev, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Former Protestant pastors Ken Hensley and Kenny Burchard continue their series looking at how they began to rethink their commitment to the Bible alone as the sole and sufficient rule for faith and practice. Matt, Ken, and Kenny did deeper into the historical practice of the earliest Christians, and look at what primary sources can tell us about the role of Scripture in the first centuries of Christianity. How does the way the Church Fathers interacted with Scripture help us understand the nature of authority in the early Church?

If the writings of the Church Fathers aren't part of the Bible, why do they matter? We explore their authority and role in understanding the faith, plus tackle questions about God’s omniscience, Eucharistic miracles, and why Mary doesn’t appear more often in Scripture. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Questions Covered: 04:15 – I constantly hear that God knows everything that’s going to happen, but in the Old Testament He changed His mind. It sounds like a contradiction. 10:02 – How seriously should I take the ancient church fathers given that they are not sacred scripture? 13:50 – How do I get atheists/agnostics to recognize the bible as a legitimate source? 16:00 – On the assumption that God is all-powerful, merciful, etc. Then why would he make us if he knew we were going to go through all this suffering and anguish? 22:52 – Is heaven empty until Jesus returns? If not, then how can Catholics believe that we all go to sleep and enter heaven until the second coming? 30:59 – In the Our Father, what is the true meaning of” thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven?” 35:14 – How is it possible for Satan to stand in the presence of God in Job if evil can’t withstand the presence of God? 41:00 – Why doesn't Mary appear more in the Bible for all the reverence we give her? 46:01 – Debating with a Christian who claims Eucharistic miracles are demonic; how do I respond to them? 51:46 – Why should I care if there is a God?

When should you rely on faith alone, and when is it time to seek professional help? Gary Zimak tackles questions on giving up worrying for Lent and more, including Scripture recommendations,  and accepting life’s crosses. Questions Covered: 15:00 – How do we give up worry in a case where one has clinical depression? 18:44 – What good scripture and writing from the Church Fathers do you recommend I read? 23:12 – I've used therapy, and it never helped. Now that I follow faith it’s been a huge change. Should I still continue traditional therapy? 34:45 – I want to improve my faith life before seeking professional help for anxiety. How do I know whether or not I need to seek professional help, or I'm simply just not trying enough with my faith life? I feel like getting professional help would be “failing” or giving up on trying to solve my anxiety with Jesus. How do I know when I've tried hard enough that I need outside help? 42:17 – I worry about a friend who has basically given up in life. How do I help or stop worrying? 46:57 – How does one accept that life will have crosses, and that life is not always happy? 49:11 – I personally went through a period of terrible anxiety due to a traumatic event. I was given medication, and it helped so much! Both prayer and medication can be from God.

Tradition says Jesus was 33 when He died, but did early Church Fathers like St. Irenaeus suggest otherwise? Tim Staples explores this question and more, including Mary's virginity, swearing as a sin, and historical accounts of Jesus' miracles. Questions Covered:  08:39 – Can you explain Jesus' age when he died? St. Irenaeus seems to say Jesus died around the age of 50? 17:08 – Is there a list of spiritual faculties? 29:45 – Did Jesus know Mary was a virgin? Did he introduce her to people as “my virgin mother”? 42:28 – If I swear or use vulgar language, is that a mortal sin? 46:26 – Since Josephus was Jewish, did he include Jesus’ raising of the dead in his histories? 51:09 – Should I house my sister who lives with her female partner if she loses her job?
