Podcasts about Church

Together, with Fr. Mike, we arrive at the conclusion and “nugget day” for the section on liturgy and culture. Fr. Mike reiterates the importance of the fact that the Church does not abolish culture, but redeems and fulfills it. He also emphasizes that even though the Church welcomes liturgical diversity, there are still some things that are incompatible with the Faith and, therefore, unable to be incorporated into Catholic liturgy. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1204-1209. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Homily from the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity. Even when the Bible seems clear, earnest Christians can get it wrong. We need a Church to tell us when we are wrong. The most important revelation of God is His own identity. From the beginning, Christians have needed more than the words of Sacred Scripture to guide them into all truth. We have needed the Holy Spirit leading the Church through error to know the depths of God's identity. Mass Readings from June 15, 2025: Proverbs 8:22-31 Psalm 8:4-5, 6-7, 8-9Romans 5:1-5 John 16:12-15

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, we explore key questions about Catholic doctrine and Scripture. Topics include the Church's teaching on Purgatory, the meaning of “under the earth” in Scripture, and Pope St. John Paul II's quote on free will and the greater good. Jimmy discusses who the Church Fathers are and how to read them, how doctrinal development fits with the end of public revelation, and biblical support for the resurrection of the dead and Christ's second coming. He also addresses whether a priest can deny communion to someone kneeling and whether baptism removes both sin and attachment to sin. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:00 – What is the Catholic teaching on Purgatory, and is there a “middle space” between Heaven and Hell for souls? 12:52 – In the verse “every knee shall bend… under the earth,” what does “under the earth” refer to—could it mean Hell? 20:49 – How should one understand Pope St. John Paul II's quote: “The greater good is maintained when someone uses his freedom wrongly than when he is forced to do what is good”? 28:45 – Who are the Church Fathers, and how can someone begin reading them alongside Scripture for deeper understanding? 32:30 – How can the Church's claim that public revelation has ceased be reconciled with the idea that doctrine continues to develop? 41:58 – What Bible verses support the Catholic teachings on the resurrection of the dead and the second coming of Christ? 49:26 – Is it within a priest's authority to deny communion to someone who chooses to receive kneeling? 52:51 – Does the sacrament of baptism remove not only sin but also attachment to sin?

“I have claimed this land for God.” The words were written by John G. Paton and adorn the grave of his wife and child. It was a declaration of faith that God would bring the people of the New Hebrides, now Vanuatu, to Himself. The islanders were thought of as savages; in fact Paton slept on the grave to prevent the bodies of his wife and child from being eaten by cannibals. Paton famously said, “If I can but live and die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference whether I am eaten by cannibals or by worms.” Today the islands are full of churches—even some very close to the site of Mrs. Paton's grave. Stephen McKaskel is the producer and director of a six-part video series called Missionary, which includes an episode about Paton, as well as others which tell the stories of famous missionaries. Listen as he tells why the church today needs the example of men and women sent by God and obedient to the Great Commission. Watch this behind-the-scenes video of Stephen and the team tracking down Paton's legacy in Vanuatu. He'll also share about filming in England on the path of William Tyndale, as well as stories of David Livingston, Amy Carmichael, Hudson Taylor and William Carey. Stephen also shares what he wants viewers and churches to take away after viewing the Missionary film series.

Today we're excited to share our conversation with Anna Lott, and we're especially thinking of those who are walking—or have walked—the path of divorce.Anna is the host of the Solo Saints podcast and retreats, and she's become a thoughtful and compassionate voice in our community—especially for those who often feel like their experiences don't quite fit the mold. As a divorced mother of four, Anna brings honesty, heart, and hard-won wisdom to conversations about faith, family, and belonging.Today's episode is for everyone though—whether you've experienced divorce yourself or love someone who has, we talk with Anna about what it feels like to show up at church when your life no longer fits the picture of how you thought things were “supposed” to look. She speaks candidly about the stigma and shame that so many experience around divorce in a family-centered church, —and about how we, as a community, can do better to create a softer place to land.Anna also invites us to rethink and let go of some of the painful narratives many of us have inherited around marriage—that it should be preserved at all costs, or that staying married is always the most right choice. She shares the both-ands of her own story—the grief and the growth, the costs and the clarity—and how reclaiming and recentering her identity as a daughter of God has led to deeper joy, belonging, and renewed faith.We're so grateful to the many of you who shared your stories and questions ahead of this episode. Your voices shaped this conversation in meaningful ways. We're grateful for your honesty and vulnerability and we hope you feel heard here.And with that, here's our conversation with Anna Lott.

A little know Biblical account of Moses' body. God's personal handling on his burial. What does this mean for our own bodies? How has the Church been lied to, or has been lying? Jesus' Body is everything, our bodies are dust. The Gnostics believed the very substance of our bodies were pure defilement. But something isnt adding up...

The Day of Pentecost was one of the many feasts prescribed by God in the Old Covenant for His people to remember His mighty works on their behalf. All of the Old Covenant feasts were types that always pointed to something Christ would later fulfill. Today, we consider the fulfillment of Pentecost on the day of the birth of Christ's Church, His manifest Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. At Pentecost, we have been granted the opportunity to live a life as Moses who ascended the mountain, fellowshipped with God, and descended radiating from the glory of the God He has beheld in that blessed fellowship. We have had the fellowship with God restored to us that we lost at the fall of mankind.

Some conversations feel like a hug you didn't know you needed. This is one of them. SJR and Lisa Harper pull up to talk about the kind of grace that finds you in the middle of your mess, the love of God that never walks away, and what it means to grow through criticism without losing your softness. They unpack ministry wounds, performance-based faith, recovering from religious shame, and how to hold your calling without breaking your heart. This episode is a full-circle moment for the girls who've wrestled with not being “enough” for the Church but know they're still called. If you've ever felt like you're building something while battling what's behind you, go ahead and lean into this conversation.

Get your tickets for The Live Show here! Beneath the stone floors of a London church, a chilling discovery sent Victorian society into a frenzy—and now you get to peek inside this hidden vault. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Kat and Jethro unearth the grotesque 1849 mystery hidden under the Church of Holy Trinity in the Minories.

In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Karlo Broussard answers the questions: Why must Mary have been Immaculately Conceived—couldn't Jesus have been born of a sinner? How does addiction affect the conditions for mortal sin? Karlo discusses  the Church's teaching on free will, grave matter, and culpability. He also addresses the claim of annihilationism—does the Bible really support eternal punishment in hell? Plus, is it accurate to call non-Catholics “Christians,” or should we still use the term “heretics”? Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 12:08 – Why do we say that Mary “must have” been Immaculately conceived? It seems like Jesus could have been born from someone even if they had original sin. 17:00 – How do the three conditions for mortal sin relate to the area of addiction? Can the consent of the will be lessened by an addiction? 29:47 – What is real factual evidence that annihilationism is false, and wrong to believe? 39:23 – I struggle with calling non-Catholics Christians. It doesn't seem to fit with the old style of calling them heretics. 47:12 – My protestant friend has trouble with the idea of praying to the dead. When did the practice begin? And is it in the New Testament? 51:37 – Where in the Bible does it teach against contraception?
