For 12 years, the Catholic author, speaker and minister Meg Hunter-Kilmer lived out of her car, driving all over the US and beyond to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. If that sounds to you like someone with incredible zeal for the Lord, that is an accurate impression. Meg is a powerhouse of discipleship. She's also an incredibly gifted writer, and we were thrilled to publish a series of her essays on lesser-known Jesuit and Ignatian holly men and women over the past couple of years. We'll leave a link to her series, which we called “Friends of Ignatius,” here in the show notes. The occasion for her recent conversation with host Mike Jordan Laskey, though, was the publication of Meg's newest book, titled “Eyes Fixed on Jesus, Volume 2: A Journey Into the Gospels.” In the book, Meg combines storytelling, Scripture study and cultural history to present the Gospel accounts in vivid ways. Mike asked Meg about the project and why she's so excited to encourage Catholics to read more Scripture. She also shared the fruits of returning to the same Scripture stories time after time, and how there's always more for us to discover in the text. They talked about one of the holy Jesuit priests she wrote about for our “Friends of Ignatius” series, the Venerable Eusebio Kino. Finally, as Meg serves as a campus minister at the University of Notre Dame, they talked about what she finds young Catholics to be hungering for these days. It was such a fun conversation and you'll hear Meg's passion and deep faith come through so clearly. “Eyes Fixed on Jesus, Volume 2”: https://www.orderosv.com/product/eyes-fixed-on-jesus-vol-2-a-journey-into-the-gospels More about Meg: https://www.piercedhands.com/ Read Meg's 10 “Friends of Ignatius” essays here: https://www.jesuits.org/profile/meg-hunter-kilmer/ AMDG is a production of the Jesuit Media Lab, which is a project of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States. www.jesuits.org/ www.beajesuit.org/ twitter.com/jesuitnews facebook.com/Jesuits instagram.com/wearethejesuits youtube.com/societyofjesus www.jesuitmedialab.org/

St Paul I [brother: Stephen II] 757-767 Paul II [Pietro Barbo] 1464-1471 Paul III [Alessandro Farnese] 1534-1549 Paul IV [Giovanni Caraffa] 1555-1559 Paul V [Camillo Borghese] 1605-1621 St Paul VI [Giovanni Montini] 1963-1978   St. Paul I: brother to Pope Stephen II and succeeded him--the sort of thing that could happen in the premodern era. This was the era of Pepin the Frank, where the Frankish kingdom had just become the papacy's welcome bulwark against the conquests of the Lombards and the intrigues of the Byzantines, who also wished to take back control of as much of Italy as possible; at the end of the century this would lead to the crowning of Constantine as Western Emperor and the final decline of Byzantine influence, although the Lombard dukes would take longer to diminish in importance. Pope Paul I had a reputation for honor and personal sanctity which were still common in that era.   Paul II: elected in the fifteenth century recovery and Roman Renaissance period following the Avignon period and the schism and wild experimental councils that ended it. His uncle was Pope Eugene II and apparently he became a priest after his uncle's election. Paul II was a big spender on building projects (probably still needed at the time), carnivals and festivals, and was a supporter of the arts. However, he also found it necessary to reign in some of the more ardent Renaissance figures of his day and closed something called the Roman Academy for its excesses toward paganism and moral turpitude. He made efforts, building on the conciliar period at the beginning of the century, to bring Russia into communion with Rome and to combat the Turks who had just conquered Constantinople; these big ideas and initiatives were, sadly, not successful. The Ottomans continued expanding for centuries to come and Russia is still very much in schism with Rome.   Paul III: An aristocrat of the Farnese family, educated at Rome and Florence; knew Leo X from their youth in Florence. He was a cardinal from age 25 until his election as Pope at age 66, a period embracing the excesses of Popes Alexander and Julius/Julian and the beginning of Luther's disturbances. He was enormously influential between his intellect, education, wealth, time in the Sacred College, and diplomatic skill. Finally he was elected Pope in a time of turmoil, less than 20 years after Luther's 95 theses. By that point he was old and respected and past some questionable periods in his youth. Apparently Paul saw immediately that a new general council was needed to address the outbreak of Protestantism, but his efforts to get one started were thwarted by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V's attempts to hammer out vague agreements that everyone could accept, and even more so by the power politics of the French under Francois I. He wanted the Holy Roman Empire divided and weakened, and did not care if heresy was the means to that end. In that light it is not surprising that he persecuted Protestants harshly within France itself. This became a recurring French policy and would culminate in the Thirty Years' War that devastated and practically ended the Holy Roman Empire as a united country. Pope Paul was not immune to concerns about the excessive power of the Holy Roman Emperors who had mistreated so many of his predecessors, Gregory VII in particular, but in this he may have been short-sighted; his family were traditional Guelphs who supported the Popes politically against the Emperors. In any case Paul III did get the Council of Trent started and, like Pope John XXIII, did see its initial sessions. Against Charles V's desires, they immediately set to work on some of the key issues regarding original sin, justification, and the sacraments. Meanwhile Pope Paul had begun many reforms of the Curia and Church discipline on his own initiative that after his death were taken up by the Council. He supported many of the new religious orders springing up in this era. Many see Paul III as a Pope of towering importance for the history of the Church.   Paul IV: Born of a Neapolitan noble family, brought into the Church by his uncle Cardinal Ottavino, but very attracted by the discipline of religious life. He, too, knew Leo X and was sent on diplomatic missions in his pontificate. Cardinal Giovanni, later Paul IV, eventually became a member of the priestly order set up by St. Cajetan. Because Giovanni was Bishop of Chieti, Theate in Latin, and because he was first general of the order, they became known as Theatines--a remarkably indirect reason. Protestant brigands sacked Rome in 1527 and the Theatines suffered greatly and went away to Venice for a few years, but Paul III believed they were needed in Rome and brought them back. Paul III made the future Paul IV a cardinal and employed him in reforming the Curia and in the Inquisition in Italy, where he was very strict if not harsh. Paul IV was very old at his election as pope and quite surprised by it. Legend has it that he might have refused the election if another cardinal had not announced that Charles V would veto Cardinal Caraffa if elected; in outrage at this attempt at meddling, Caraffa accepted. The Habsburgs shut the pope out of the serious issues of the era, especially the attempts at a political settlement with Protestants and issues around the succession to the Empire and forced the pope to ally with France. Unlike Paul III, Paul IV is not considered a successful pope. He promoted a very unworthy "cardinal-nephew" despite his own personal rigor; he was petty in awarding other family members with land taken from Spaniards due to his quarrels with the Habsburgs; he took probably very problematic measures encouraging harshness by Queen Mary in England and thwarting Cardinal Pole. He did take some actions toward re-establishing a Catholic hierarchy in the Netherlands and starting one in the Orient. He continued to encourage the Inquisition but at least had a reputation for being no respecter of persons in that regard, and he did disavow his problematic nephews after various failures.   Paul V: A relative of St. Catherine, his family was from Siena and had moved to Rome. In many ways he was a stiff canon lawyer and a bad negotiator. He got into a tremendously bitter dispute with Venice on grounds that to modern ears sound pretty bad: Venice refused to exempt clergy from civil courts. They did also forbid transfer of real property to clergy and required civil approval of new churches. Paul V put them under interdict, which they flagrantly ignored. The Jesuits, Theatines, and Capuchins left the city, and the other clergy apparently sided with the government. Much was written by learned men on either side, such as Baronius, Bellarmine, and the Venetian Paolo Sarpi--something of a quasi-Protestant and despiser of the politics of the Papal Curia. The French and Spanish governments helped broker a somewhat distasteful compromise--certainly distasteful to Paul V. Yet Paul V was not always so intransigent. He tried to reach a rapprochement with James I in England, asking that Catholics in general not be persecuted after the Gunpowder Plot but commiserating with the monarch over the attempted assassination, but the pope was rebuffed. An interesting note: According to J. Jungmanns, The Mass of the Roman Rite, Paul V signed a decree in 1615 allowing the Mass to be celebrated in Chinese, out of respect for the antiquity and learning of ancient Chinese philosophy, recognizing it as a peer to Latin or Greek. This decree was never transmitted and acted upon, and Benedict XIV a few years later decided differently. In administering Rome Paul V was more successful. Even though he promoted many members of his family, they in general served the administration well. He also got to celebrate many of the achievements of the sixteenth century: the new St. Peter's was finished, and he canonized or beatified saints like Charles Borromeo, Frances of Rome, Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, and Philip Neri. Sadly, his reign also saw the actual start of the Thirty Years' War.   Paul VI: Our first pope in living memory if we discount the preliminary discussion of the Piuses. Paul VI was a career Church diplomat, much like John XXIII and Pius XII. When John XXIII called the Second Vatican Council and then passed away a short time into its proceedings, Cardinal Montini was elected and took the long-disused name of Paul. He never publicly explained his choice in detail. It is widely believed that it was to hark back to the Apostle, far more than any kind of biretta-tip to a previous pope, although the legacy of Paul III and his reforms leading to the Council of Trent might be a distant secondary consideration. John XXIII had taken an even more disused name, the name of an Apostle, and Paul's legacy and its connection to Rome if anything makes it surprising that more Popes have not taken the name. In any case, Paul's pontificate was inevitably linked to the Council. His tasks were to celebrate and spread its messages, begin the authoritative interpretation of its statements, and carry out its intentions. In the event Paul was pope long enough to complete most of the latter: the enormous revisions to the Mass and to the Breviary or Liturgy of the Hours. He also implemented changes to the structure of the Curia in Regimini ecclesiae universae, a stream of influence on the later 1983 revision of the Code of Canon Law under John Paul II. Perhaps the final major document of the postconciliar period, the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, was not completed until 1994 and bears more of the mark of John Paul. Paul VI did not use the term "new evangelization" but made statements leading in that direction--for example, in the document Ecclesiam Suam on the Church's posture toward the modern world and in Evangelii Nuntiandi. He contributed to Catholic social teaching on the morality of economic development, especially in Populorum Progressio. In these ways he emphasized the positive developments begun during the Council. In other ways he took stands against the so-called "spirit of Vatican II" by emphasizing traditional doctrines. In Mysterium fidei he emphasized the continuing central role of the Blessed Sacrament in Catholic spirituality, and in Humanae Vitae he reiterated and put on a new, bolder, more consistently argued footing the traditions of Christian sexual morality, combating the unprecedented assault of the "Sexual Revolution" and paving the way for John Paul II to develop these ideas more fully in his pontificate.   Why Paul VII, and what would taking that name seem to imply for a 21st century pope? Using St. Paul as a reference point could never be inappropriate. In our contemporary situation the primary inference, an emphasis on the missionary calling of the Church, would again be foremost. Paul could also be used as a symbol of Romanness, but the political situation for that is hard to see reasserting itself any time soon. Obviously folk would assume a reference is being made back to Paul VI and to the Second Vatican Council. This, as even this short summary shows, would be an ambiguous reference. Is Paul VI the "liberal" Pope who fulfilled the Council's promise to rescue us from the Latin mumble Mass? Or is he the "conservative" Pope who was so out of touch as to condemn contraception? Paul III is a prominent enough figure that he, too, could serve as a reference point. In that case look out for a Third Vatican Council or (if Providence is truly gracious) a Fourth Council of Constantinople. The assessment of such a cardinal choosing to call out Paul III specifically (in addition to Paul the Apostle, Paul VI, and perhaps other great Pauls from Christian history) might be that the situation is parallel to the situation Paul III inherited in this way: The conciliar movement at the end of the Western Schism did not reach a stable resolution at Constance, Pisa, or Basle, but left smoldering embers that roared up as Protestantism and required the Council of Trent to address (unfortunately after enormous lasting damage was done). Similarly, the legacy of the Second Vatican Council is clearly unresolved. That is to say nothing of the millennium-old schism with the East, although this hypothetical Paul VII might or might not choose to embrace the goal of complete reunification of apostolic, sacramental Christianity--he might well decide that the Roman communion needs to heal its own wounds before launching itself more vigorously into that quest. In any case, a reference to Paul III might imply a belief in the need for another Council to settle the liturgical, administrative, and other problems still facing the Church.

Fr. Tyler Mentzer, MIC, reflects on today's Gospel by reminding us that the Lord is leading us into His holiness and teaching us to trust the love of the Father, even through suffering. God may permit trials and spiritual desolation, as St. Ignatius of Loyola teaches, so that we can recognize our poverty and our complete dependence on Him. Suffering can reveal how little we truly control and help us see that everything we have is a gift from God. The story of Job shows this trust clearly. After losing nearly everything precious to him, Job still recognized that he came into the world with nothing and would leave it the same way, and he continued to bless the name of the Lord. In our own suffering, instead of only asking, “Why is this happening to me?” we can ask, “Lord, what are You trying to teach me through this?” We may not understand the answer, but we can trust that God is a good Father who is strengthening us, forming us, and drawing us deeper into His love.

Ignatius Farray, cómico y escritor, estalla contra los fondos buitre: "A ver si son capaces de imaginarse una moral más grande que simplemente la explotación económica". Desde la Puerta del Sol en Madrid, cientos de manifestantes acampan por el desahucio de Mari Carmen, entre ellos el cómico Ignatius Farray, quien califica de "orgullo y alegría" la acampada organizada por el Sindicato de Inquilinas.El cómico sostiene que "no es una cosa premeditada, sino el orgullo y corazón de la gente" lo que ha llevado a esta manifestación de demandas por la crisis de vivienda. Según Ignatius esto es "imparable" y "ojalá muchas más noches" acampando por estas demandas sociales.Ignatius carga contra Ayuso, Almeida y Pedro Sánchez: "tienen que hacerse responsables de esto, y más allá de palabras bonitas: atender a lo que dice la calle, porque esta indignación existía durante todos estos meses".Escuchar audio

The secrets of creation were contained in an oath—and one of the fallen Watchers demanded that Michael reveal to him the "secret name" so that those who heard the oath would quake before it. That's one of the revelations in this week's study of 1 Enoch. Bear in mind, this section of the book was written just before the birth of Jesus so any specifics regarding the names of fallen angels and their abilities or misdeeds must be taken with a grain of salt. However, it is interesting that this section, in the translation by R. H. Charles, is titled, "The Names and Functions of the (fallen Angels and) Satans.” Apparently, during the Second Temple, it was believed there was more than one Satan. We need to remember that Satan was not even considered a fallen angel until Ignatius of Antioch in the early second century A.D.. Again, the study is important because of New Testament doctrines that are not found in any Jewish writing prior to 1 Enoch. Here is the link to the Academia page for scholar John Ben-Daniel, whose research into the book of 1 Enoch has been so helpful to us: https://independent.academia.edu/DrJohnBenDanielWe're asking for your help to Build Bunker Better!

Ken and Anthony react to a suburban-league AD petition pushing to separate OHSAA public and private postseason tournaments across sports, with Ken admitting that for the first time in his life he's actually leaning toward supporting a split. They trace how playoff expansion since the 1999 football season (from 4 to 8 to 16 teams, plus seven basketball divisions) has watered down what a state championship means, while debating whether private-school "rings culture" and recruiting perception is really driving parents to send kids to schools like Archbishop or St. Ignatius. They land on the tension between wanting bigger participation numbers at public schools and losing the classic public-vs-private storyline that used to settle who was actually best.

Bearing Christ: St. Ignatius, Modern Martyrs, and the Call to Faithful Witness Release Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026What does it mean to carry God with you into the ordinary, daily moments of your life?In this episode, we explore a moving reflection from Cardinal John Henry Newman's Parochial and Plain Sermonsdetailing the story of St. Ignatius of Antioch. When brought before Emperor Trajan, Ignatius referred to himself as Theophorus ("God-bearer"). He boldly proclaimed that there is only one Creator, that Jesus Christ conquered evil on the cross, and that he carried the living Lord in his very heart.Together, we connect Ignatius's ancient stand to modern-day witnesses like Pastor Wang Yi in China, showing that the chain of faithful witness remains unbroken. We unpack Paul's words in Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 1:27 ("Christ in you, the hope of glory"), discovering how Newman's takeaway applies directly to us today. To close our study, we pray an adapted prayer originally written by Scottish reformer John Knox—found during a daily devotional time—asking God to raise up faithful messengers of His truth.Key Takeaways:The Meaning of Theophorus: How carrying Christ in our hearts defines the identity of every believer.An Unbroken Lineage: Tracing the witness of faith from St. Peter and St. Ignatius down to Pastor Wang Yi today.Christ in You: How Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 1:27 ground our daily lives in the living presence of Jesus.A Historic Closing Prayer: Praying an adaptation of John Knox's 16th-century prayer for faithful evangelists and messengers.Scriptures & Texts Referenced:Galatians 2:20 (Anchor Reading)Colossians 1:27Romans 8:37–391 Peter 3:15Parochial and Plain Sermons by John Henry NewmanAdapted 16th-century prayer by John KnoxReflection Questions for Your Week:Where in your daily routine do you need to remind yourself that you carry Christ (Theophorus)—the hope of glory—within your heart?How does seeing Ignatius before an emperor—or Pastor Wang Yi in prison today—give you courage when you feel isolated in your faith journey?Where in your daily walk might you be tempted to stay silent, rather than bearing gentle witness to the hope within you?How can your words and actions this week glorify God by reflecting Christ's passion, death, and resurrection to someone around you?Share the WordIf this episode encouraged you, please consider sharing it with a friend and leaving a rating or review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Fr. Timothy Gallagher begins the Second Week Rules by reviewing the First Week and introducing a more subtle challenge in discernment. Through experiences from St. Ignatius's own life, we discover that even good and holy thoughts, accompanied by genuine spiritual consolation, require discernment. Where is the movement leading, and what will its consequences be? The post Greater Discernment: An Introduction to the Second Week Rules – Fr. Timothy Gallagher – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.

Check us out: https://www.determinetruth.com What does it actually mean to “know” God? In this episode of the DetermineTruth Podcast, Vinnie and Rob explore 1, 2, and 3 John—three fascinating New Testament writings centered on truth, love, obedience, fellowship, and what it means to genuinely know God. We begin with some important background questions. Did the Apostle John actually write 1, 2, and 3 John? Why is 1 John technically anonymous while 2 and 3 John identify their author simply as “the elder”? What was the Johannine community? And what can early Christian writers like Papias, Polycarp, and Ignatius tell us about the world in which these writings emerged? Then we turn to one of the most important themes in 1 John: knowledge. John repeatedly talks about knowing God—but the Greek text reveals something that can be easy to miss in English translations. The letter uses different Greek words for knowledge, including ginōskō and oida, as John connects what Christians know intellectually with what they have experienced and demonstrated through their lives. That leads to a challenging question: Can we really claim to know God if the way we live contradicts what we say we believe? For 1 John, knowing God is not merely possessing correct theological information. Knowing Christ produces a life characterized by obedience, righteousness, love for others, and participation in the life of the Christian community.

Ignatius humbly begins again as a student, learning that even apparently spiritual consolations can distract him from the work God is asking him to do. In Alcalá, his teaching and spiritual conversations bear fruit but also attract scrutiny, investigation and imprisonment.

1773 was the year in which the Society of Jesus ceased to exist. Pressured by European leaders, Pope Clement XIV issued a Papal brief formally suppressing the Jesuits worldwide. 41 years would pass before, in 1814, Pope Pius VII formally restored the Society. In those intervening years, a number of important questions emerged that would shape the Jesuits, the Church and the world. Arguably one of those pressing questions, one that pointed to the foundation of the Ignatian charism, was this: What would become of the Spiritual Exercises? Countless lives had been changed thanks to Ignatius' spiritual wisdom, and the Church knew that to lose that wisdom—to lose the Exercises—along with the Jesuits would be disastrous. The world needed the Exercises. So, in the wake of the Suppression of the Society of Jesus, different religious order emerged to carry on the mantle of the Ignatian tradition. One such order—the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, founded by Venerable Bruno Lanteri who himself was formed by Jesuits—took it upon themselves to continue offering the Spiritual Exercises. Their work and mission continued, even after the restoration of the Society of Jesus. And in fact, one of the most preeminent writers on Ignatian discernment—Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV—is our guest today. And as you'll hear, he stresses the essential work that is the ministry of the Exercises, and how the Oblates and the Jesuits continue to work together in this mission. The Exercises, after all, are a gift to all of God's people. Fr. Gallagher has a wonderful new book out from Ignatius Press that underlines this point. It's called “Thinking Like a Saint: Discernment of Spirits in the Catholic Tradition.” In it, he walks readers through Ignatius' 14 Rules for Discernment. But he does so by grounding each rule in the wisdom of saints who came long before or well after Ignatius. In so doing, Fr. Gallagher reminds us that Ignatius' great contribution was giving language to our shared human experience—and God's Spirit at work therein. Fr. Gallagher was ordained to the priesthood in 1979 as a member of the Congregation of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. In 1983, he obtained his doctorate from The Pontifical Gregorian University, and became a spiritual director and retreat leader. He has taught at St. John's Seminary, Brighton, and Our Lady of Grace Seminary Residence, Boston, both in Massachusetts. In 2015, Father Gallagher accepted the St. Ignatius Chair for Spiritual Formation at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver. He has written over twenty books on spiritual themes, published articles in Catholic periodicals, appears frequently on Catholic television, and records many podcasts, radio interviews, series on YouTube, and virtual events used throughout the English-speaking Catholic world.

Ignatius of Antioch  Ignatius of Antioch lived approximately AD 35–107. According to early Christian tradition, he served as bishop of Antioch, one of Christianity's earliest and most important centers. He is often called Ignatius Theophoros (Ἰγνάτιος ὁ Θεοφόρος), usually understood as “Ignatius the God-bearer.” Ignatius belonged to the generation immediately following the apostles. Later tradition connects him with the apostolic generation, especially Peter and John, although we cannot historically demonstrate all the details later traditions give about these relationships. His Arrest and Journey to Rome During the reign of Emperor Trajan (AD 98–117), Ignatius was arrested and condemned. He was taken under Roman military guard from Antioch toward Rome, where he expected to be executed. This journey became extraordinarily important for Christian history because Ignatius wrote letters to Christian communities along the way. These letters provide one of our earliest windows into the organization, theology, worship, and struggles of Christianity in the early second century. Seven letters are traditionally accepted as authentic: Ephesians Magnesians Trallians Romans Philadelphians Smyrnaeans To Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna What Did Ignatius Teach? A central theme in Ignatius is unity. Again and again he urges Christians to remain united around the bishop, presbyters, and deacons. His writings therefore provide extremely important evidence for the development of the threefold ministry of bishop (ἐπίσκοπος), presbyters (πρεσβύτεροι), and deacons (διάκονοι). The Eucharist is also central to his theology. For Ignatius, Christianity was not merely a collection of ideas. The Church was a living community gathered around Christ, particularly expressed in the Eucharistic assembly. He also strongly opposed teachings that denied the genuine humanity and suffering of Jesus. Against tendencies later associated with Docetism—the idea that Christ only appeared to suffer—Ignatius insisted that Jesus was genuinely born, genuinely suffered, and genuinely died. The Famous Expression “Catholic Church” Ignatius is especially important because his Letter to the Smyrnaeans contains the earliest surviving written occurrence of the expression: ἡ καθολικὴ ἐκκλησία — hē katholike ekklēsia Here καθολικός (katholikos) carries the sense of “universal,” “according to the whole,” or “the whole Church.” Ignatius writes essentially: “Wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the catholic Church.” At this early date, we should be careful not simply to read all later denominational meanings of the word Catholic back into Ignatius. His emphasis is fundamentally on the whole, universal Church gathered in Christ. His Martyrdom Ignatius expected to die in Rome, traditionally by being thrown to wild beasts. His Letter to the Romans contains some of the strongest martyrdom language in early Christianity. He famously describes himself as: “God's wheat.” He imagines being ground by the teeth of wild beasts so that he might become the “pure bread of Christ.” The imagery reflects how deeply Ignatius connected martyrdom, imitation of Christ, Eucharistic imagery, and discipleship. Why Ignatius Matters for the Early Eastern Church For your students, Ignatius is especially important because he stands at a crossroads between the apostolic age and the developing institutional Church of the second century. He gives us evidence for Christianity moving outward from its Jewish and Jerusalem beginnings into the multilingual world of Syria and Asia Minor. Antioch itself was culturally complex: Greek was prominent, while the wider Syrian environment was deeply Semitic and Aramaic-speaking. Yet the surviving authentic letters of Ignatius are Greek, not Aramaic or Syriac. So Ignatius should be understood as an Eastern Christian bishop operating within a Greek-speaking literary environment while emerging from the Syrian Christian world. Simple conclusion for your students: Ignatius of Antioch was an early second-century Syrian bishop and martyr who helped define Christian thinking about Church unity, bishops, presbyters, deacons, the Eucharist, the real humanity of Christ, and martyrdom. His seven letters form one of our most valuable bridges between the New Testament Church and Christianity of the second century.

Ignatius of Antioch's seven letters provide an excellent example of the Apostolic Deposit of faith and practice.

Surgeon General's Warning! Beware of the dangers of the litany of humility! In this week's episode, Fr. John and Fr. Sean break down the structure, intention and history of the litany. Tracing the life of Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val, they move into the biblical foundations of humility in the Greek word tapeinosis, as well as bring it into conversation with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Ignatius.

Trusting that God will provide, Ignatius begs and travels through Rome and Venice before finally reaching Jerusalem. He longs to remain in the Holy Land and help souls, but the Franciscan authorities order him to leave — forcing him to surrender even this deeply cherished desire.

The Spanish verb Ignatius used in the Contemplatio, alcanzar, means not "to attain" but "to catch up to," revealing the exercise as an invitation to close a distance rather than reach a static goal. Because God has already been moving toward humanity in love, prayer becomes the act of running to catch up with a closeness that was in motion long before it was noticed.

“Is there evidence for the papacy in early Church history?” This question addresses claims about the absence of papal evidence in the first 300 years of the Church. The discussion also touches on the authority of both Peter and Paul in Rome, as well as the role of Ignatius in the early Church and the implications of Constantine’s influence on Christian records. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish!

Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke wrap up Ancient Christianity with stories about sermon critiques, mispronounced words, and the kind of mentorship that only works when trust has been earned. Al shares how a gift from his granddaughter brought Phil's larger-than-life legacy to mind, while John Luke explains how he turned the Roman Empire into a summer camp lesson about Jesus, persecution, and the kingdom of God. The guys dig into Augustine's impact on the Trinity, the incarnation of Christ, and why God must reveal himself before we can truly know him.  In this episode: John 1:1; Genesis 1:28; John 17:3; John 14:6; Ephesians 3:10; Luke 15; Psalm 48:1-8; 1 John 4:8-10; Romans 1-2; Romans 7:24-25 Today's conversation is a recap of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.
