Patrick talks about the relationship between the Latin language and the Catholic Church and also how words have been interpreted and changed over the years. And he also talks about the differences between Latin and English, and recommends people learn some Latin.

(5:06) Mark-How you could go to mass in any other country, and it’s the same Latin Mass and to get rid of the Latin Mass is to divide the Church. (13:59) Catherine-Question about choosing new Godparents as original Godparents have lost their way. (18:09) Joan-Latin had a juridical and legislative vocabulary that led to doctrine. (20:11) Mary Ann Can I donate to a scientific research organization for a specific thing since I don't like all that they do? (28:44) Larry-If Satan doesn't like Latin, why do Devil worshipers use Latin? (39:19) Jessica (email)-Any online Latin classes to recommend?

Welcome to this episode of the Full Stop podcast, where we're joined by our guests John and Ben to explore the joys and complexities of being a childless aunt, uncle, or godparent. Together, we reflect on how these roles offer meaningful ways to nurture, support, and build a legacy when one is childless not by choice. Listen for advice on boundaries, freedom, and the unique impact of chosen relationships across generations. Please note that we do cover what it's like not to be an aunt, uncle or godparent, as one of our presenters does not have this caring role. This might be a challenging listen for some of our audience. (Members of our online community can carry on the discussion in our safe space.) Download the transcript

In this episode of Roadmap to Heaven, Adam Wright reflects on the significance of Lent, emphasizing the importance of prayer and fasting as a means to unite with Christ's suffering. He shares personal insights about his upcoming brain surgery during Holy Week and encourages listeners to embrace their own crosses. Julie Lassiter joins Adam to reflect on the role of Godparents, discussing their spiritual responsibilities and the importance of fostering relationships with their Godchildren. Finally, Adam emphasizes the theme of trust in God, especially in challenging times, and encourages listeners to deepen their faith and reliance on divine guidance.   Takeaways Lent is a time for deepening our prayer and fasting. Personal suffering can lead to spiritual growth and closeness to God. Godparents play a crucial role in the spiritual lives of their Godchildren. Trusting in God is essential, especially during difficult times. Every opportunity for suffering can be a chance for growth in faith. It's important to actively participate in the spiritual lives of children. Prayer for others, especially children, is a powerful act of love. Building relationships with Godchildren strengthens community and faith. Trusting God can lead to a more fulfilling spiritual life. Each day is a new opportunity to start fresh in our faith journey.

Patrick discusses insights about faith, focusing on miraculous events in Acts chapter 8 and addressing questions on Catholic practices like choosing sponsors at Confirmation. He shares a compelling story of angels assisting St. Isidore and highlights the importance of standing firm in one's faith at work. Plus, Patrick emphasizes how Relevant Radio serves as a unifying resource for Catholics. Isidore (email) - What does Luke mean when he says the spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away. Did Philip just disappear into thin air? (0:54) Zach (email) – Confirmation and sponsor question (9:24) Sheila (email) – Why did Adam and Eve sin? (13:26) Audio: Sen. Marco Rubio responds to a question about revoking Visas. (25:00) Mary - I have been asked to leave the Adoration Chapel because the space is needed for a meeting. (28:20) LtCol Dan (email) - If I have my niece be the Godmother, and my brother be a witness, it’s not ideal but I believe I’m still following the Church's guidelines on Godparents. If he comes back to the Catholic Church, does he then become the Godfather retroactively? As a witness, does he make the same verbal commitment that a Godparent makes? (37:08) Bob (email) - If Angels are pure spirit with no bodies, how are they doing hard manual labor on farms and plowing fields? (43:23) Jackie (email) - Coworkers mock my faith and I’m not sure how to handle it (45:00)

Rita's discussion centered around the importance of approaching faith with childlike humility, openness, and purity, emphasizing the need to accept God's kingdom with innocence and trust. She explored the concepts of repentance, forgiveness, and the power of God's love in transforming lives, highlighting the significance of sharing personal experiences of faith.

Then we jump into your questions!CAN I DATE MY LATE HUSBAND’S FRIEND?My husband passed aways in an accident nearly 3 years ago, he was 29 and we had been together since we were 16. After years of heartache (which will live with me forever) I’m finally feeling open to the idea of dating again. I’ve recently reconnected with an old friend who was a friend of my husbands too. He has the most grounded, secure, kind energy and I have found myself having feelings for him. I have no idea where he stands on this situation and whether or not he just sees me as a friend. I want to ask him/ tell him how I’m feeling but I don’t want to get it wrong and potentially uplift our friendship. Help THEY NAMED US GODPARENTS WITHOUT ASKING US FIRSTA couple of weeks ago, my husband and I attended my cousin's baby's dedication at church. All was going well until they announced in front of all our friends and family that my husband and I were the Godparents to their child....We were shocked. There was no previous conversation surrounding this topic, and my husband and I agreed that if they asked us, we would politely decline as it's a serious role to take on as we already have 3 kids of our own (and wanted to try for another). We stood there awkwardly smiling and didn't know how to react. We were never "asked" to be their child's Godparents and were announced with the title in front of everyone with no prior discussion. Is it rude of me to have a conversation with them and explain that we thought it was unfair of them to announce that in front of our family when we were never even asked if we would take on the role, or should I say nothing and pretend like we aren't bothered by it?SHOULD I HAVE MY PARTNERS PHONE PASSCODE?I have a lot of trust issues… I’ve had a rough time with relationships and trust. I always go through my husband's phone (once a day I would say) not necessarily finding anything just “making sure”. About a month ago I asked him to change his password so I couldn’t go through his phone anymore. What do you ladies think about this; not having your partner's phone password? Do you think it will help my trust as I have to keep reminding myself he is a good guy and my past is still haunting me or do you think it’s unhealthy? I did counselling for a long time after my previous relationships but now it’s too expensive with two children. COULD MY PARTNER BE GETTING A FREE RIDE?I have been with my partner for 5 years and we are expecting our first child. I already owned a house before meeting him and have since sold it so we can buy something for our growing family. The issue is, I am the only one contributing to the deposit and it is a large sum of money from the sale. He is older and has no assets of his own. How do I navigate this so I don’t resent him for ‘getting a free ride’ to a house which I’ve worked so hard to have for myself? I can’t help but resent him for not getting his shit together earlier. For context, we had similar upbringings and occupations so there isn’t much of a salary difference between us.

(07:58) Brian - How to explain correctly that Jesus is God? (17:50) 3-Year-Old abandoned in a cemetery before Christmas is reunited with his dad, and then was flooded with gifts from community (23:42) Deputy who was abandoned as baby donates Christmas gifts to children’s shelter in Calif.

Rerun: James Christie held his first auction on 5th December, 1766 - billed as a sale of “genuine household furniture, jewels, plate, firearms, china and a large quantity of madeira and high flavoured claret” belonging to a “Noble Personage (deceased)”. His auction-house, Christie's, went on to become one of the world's leading dealers of fine art. But it took Christie many years to exploit this opportunity, which he accomplished partly by leveraging well-connected friends. His milieu included Richard Tattersall, Thomas Chipperfield, Thomas Gainsborough, Horace Walpole, Joshua Reynolds and David Garrick - a ‘Who's Who' of 18th century London once known as ‘Christie's Fraternity of Godparents'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Christie innovated public viewings, product placement and sales technique; connect the dots between the French Revolution and Christie's biggest successes; and reveal how much it costs to buy a two-headed taxidermied lamb…  Further Reading: • ‘James Christie: the eloquent auctioneer' (Royal Academy of Arts, 2016): https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/article/james-christie-eloquent-auctioneer • ‘Mr Christie, before Christie's… His early days' (Artprice, 2021): https://www.artprice.com/artmarketinsight/mr-christie-before-christies-his-early-days • ‘Welcome to Christie's' (Christies, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ2kq20kK5U ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

Research in DCU found that, almost a quatre of parents believed their chosen godparents weren't religious at the time of baptism. Should atheists take on the role of godparent? We discussed with Sinead Ryan, Presenter of The Home Show on Newstalk and Consumer Journalist with the Irish Independent.

Critical thinking is an essential skill in today's divided world and in this conversation with educator and podcaster, Will Reusch, we explore why it's more important than ever. Will shares insights from his years of teaching – discussing the challenges of encouraging students to think critically about complex topics instead of passively accepting dominant narratives.

Send us a Text Message.This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Gail and Mike, a couple from UK and creators of the Sail With Gail and Mike YouTube channel, Instagram platform, and Facebook group. They are specifically from Liverpool, UK, which takes on a special significance related to the main topic of this episode.  One of the most anticipated and majestic new cruise ships of the last couple of years, Queen Anne, was recently launched by UK's Cunard, its 249th ship. Cunard announced the unprecedented decision to choose the city of Liverpool as “Godparent” of Queen Anne. On June 4, 2024, Cunard held Queen Anne's official naming ceremony at the Liverpool waterfront. The gala event featured performances by Andrea Bocelli, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and afireworks display. Among the dignitaries in attendance were five distinguished residents of Liverpool, chosen to represent the city at the naming (one of the five was Melanie C aka “Shorty Spice” of the Spice Girls.) Oh, by the way, there were two other notable residents of Liverpool in the crowd—Gail and Mike! And, a week or so later they boarded Queen Mary for a nine-day cruise. Gail and Mike are members of The Joy of Cruising Podcast Facebook group, and when I heard about their plans to sail on one of the first cruises on Queen Anne, I immediately reached out because I am sure many of our listeners are interested in this signicant new entrant into the cruise industry. I am delighted Gail and Mike are joining us today to tell us all about their experience at the naming ceremony and their cruise on this monumental ship.Support the Show.Support thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingPodcast-BookACruiseUS Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

“Baptism is the sacrament of faith.” The Catechism explains to us who can baptize as well as why we need Baptism for eternal life. It also explains to us what happens when people die without the opportunity for Baptism. Fr. Mike addresses our “what about” questions concerning Baptism. Most especially, Fr. Mike addresses the destination of those who will never have the opportunity to hear the Gospel or be baptized. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1253-1261. 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. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

In this episode, I have the absolute honor of welcoming legendary relationship experts Harville Hendrix & Helen LaKelly Hunt. I had to pinch myself when I met them – it was a full circle moment for me. I found Harville and Helen's work at a time in my life when I was deeply confused about relationships. I didn't know why I was so good at talking about everything but my feelings. I didn't know why I chose the people I chose or was the way I was. Harville and Helen's work and their book gave me context to my personal relational patterns and a framework for relating better. In this episode, Harville and Helen discuss the transformative power of dialogue in relationships and the importance of curiosity and open-mindedness. We explore the complexities of emotional healing and self-awareness in relationships, the concept of unconscious attraction in romantic partnerships, and how childhood needs and experiences shape adult behaviors and relationships. Tune in for a profound conversation that will surely impact the way you relate in your life moving forward.

Patrick dives into complex moral dilemmas such as the responsibility of baptizing children in non-practicing Catholic families, and the heart-wrenching decision of a local parish concerning this sacrament. He explores the profound effects of baptism and the spiritual journey of the child affected by the faith, or lack thereof, of their parents and godparents. Patrick also shares vital insights on navigating habitual versus mortal sin and discusses the unique struggles like attending a Hindu festival from a Catholic perspective.   Joe - Is there any criteria for Godparents? (00:55) Robert - Where is Our Lady of Czestochowa? Mary - I have been invited to a Hindu celebration. Am I allowed to go? (11:45) Don - What would you do if you were a priest and a gay couple asked you for a blessing? I am confused on what these blessing mean. (14:59) Antoinette - I can't drive and I can't find a ride to Mass, so I started going to a Lutheran Church and now I feel guilty. (22:18) Sarah - Does habitual sin count as mortal sin? (30:06) Jane - Why did Jesus say 'My God, My God, why did you abandon me?' (38:05) Terri - Isn't is more important to have the child baptized than to have godparents who aren't in the church anymore?
