5/22/25 - What makes the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible one of the most trusted resources for Catholics today? Mark Brumley, President of Ignatius Press, takes us behind the scenes of this long-term project. He discusses the origin of the study Bible, the contributions of theologians like Dr. Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch, and the importance of presenting Scripture through the lens of Catholic teaching. We'll discuss how the study notes, doctrinal commentary, maps, and word studies were developed in order to help readers better understand both the historical context and spiritual meaning of the biblical text. Whether you're a student of theology, a parish Bible study leader, or just someone trying to deepen your understanding of the Word of God, this may serve as an incredibly valuable resource for you!.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Father Donald Haggerty, priest at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York and the author of a number of fine books including The Hour of Testing: Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty. We're talking about taking the temperature of society and responding to crises both in the world and within our very own Catholic Church. It's a great episode. We talk about the need for abandonment to God, the importance of prayer, and how to evangelize, understand, and live within a world (and a Church!) that is sometimes limping along from crisis to crisis. Not a depressing, downtrodden take, but an uplifting and hopeful perspective – this week in my wonderful conversation with Father Haggerty.

Welcome back to A History of Christian Theology! This week, Chad talks with Dr. Abigail Favale about her book "The Genesis of Gender: A Christian Theory" with Ignatius Press. Dr. Favale's book came out in 2022 and has received excellent reviews, and while the topic is not one we often discuss on the podcast, Chad thought it would make for an interesting conversation, and he was absolutely right! Dr. Favale currently works at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, where she is a professor and writer. Her topics of interest revolve around matters of women and gender from a Catholic Perspective. In today's episode, she and Chad discuss the philosophy and theology of gender and different ways we approach it. Thanks to Dr. Favale for taking the time to join us! We hope you enjoy!Buy "The Genesis of Gender"Subscribe to our Patreontwitter: @theologyxianFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/ahistoryofchristiantheology
In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Fr. Donald Haggerty, priest of the Archdiocese of New York and renowned spiritual writer, for a sobering and deeply moving conversation on his newest book, The Hour of Testing: Spiritual Depth and Insight in a Time of Ecclesial Uncertainty.With decades of experience in priestly ministry and a profound relationship with the Missionaries of Charity, Fr. Haggerty offers insight into the spiritual challenges of our time. In this episode, we reflect on the fading of faith, the rise of indifference to God, and how Catholics are called not to panic—but to go deeper into prayer, suffering, and redemptive love.We explore what it means to live out union with Christ in the 21st century, how suffering can be offered for souls, and why this era—dark as it may seem—can still be a fertile ground for hidden saints and heroic virtue.Topics Covered:Why the indifference to God may be the greatest evil of our timeHow prayer, sacrifice, and Eucharistic devotion sustain usThe connection between holiness and the dark forces in every ageHow to find meaning in suffering and offer it with ChristWhether we may be entering a time foreshadowing the Passion of the ChurchWhat gives Fr. Haggerty hope in this “hour of testing”Why now is a time not for lukewarmness, but heroic sanctity

Fessio and Mark Brumley not only remember Cardinal Ratzinger's election, but they discuss his role in writing the Catechism and directing the Church in the 21st century.

Send us a text“When I found your words, I devoured them.” – Jeremiah 15:16For 25 years, scholars, theologians, and Catholic minds have been working on the most comprehensive Catholic Study Bible ever produced. Now, it's finally here.In this episode, I sit down with Mark Brumley, President of Ignatius Press, to dive deep into the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible. What makes this Bible different? Why should you add another study Bible to your collection? And how can it transform the way you read, understand, and live out Scripture?Mark pulls back the curtain on the massive effort behind this project, from Scott Hahn's deep theological insights to the thousands of study notes, historical essays, maps, and cross-references designed to bring the Word of God to life. We discuss:✅ Why the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible is a game-changer for Catholic men ✅ How this Bible connects the Old and New Testaments like never before ✅ The hidden biblical foundations of Catholic doctrine that most people miss ✅ How to read Scripture with the mind of the Church (and avoid misinterpretation)If you want to finally understand Scripture at a deeper level, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Dr. Matthew Wiseman for one of the most phenomenal conversion stories we've had on this podcast. Raised in a devoutly Southern Baptist home, Dr. Wiseman and his family, seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible, found themselves immersed in the Messianic Movement – also known as the "Hebrew Roots" movement – and seeking to put into practice the Old Testament Jewish laws as New Testament Christians. What transpires from here is nothing short of incredible. Listen and learn what drove Dr. Wiseman deeper into his Christian faith, what put him at odds with trying to follow the Bible to the "letter of the law," and how the same problems with plague Sola Scriptura Christians found their way into those trying to practice as pure a Christianity as possible – in the Messianic communities. Ultimately, learn what led Dr. Wiseman to embrace Catholicism and its natural outgrowth of Judaism and how it all came together to make sense in the culmination of his story.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 10:21-24 - Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I give you praise, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to Me by My Father. No one knows Who the Son is except the Father, and Who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him." Turning to the disciples in private He said, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it." Memorial of Saint Francis Xavier, Priest Saint Francis, pray for us! Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Kevin Wells on his latest book: The Hermit, The Priest Who Saved a Soul, a Marriage, and a Family, (Ignatius Press). It is the raw story of how a Priest-turned-hermit saved Kevin's wife, Krista, from an addiction to binge drinking. The masterpiece of his work to help to remove Krista's long-held (mother wound) of the demon of shame came during Covid-19. When the worldwide Church shut down - Father Martin Flum intensified his work and priesthood, because he knew folks like Krista needed the aid of the Sacraments, the Mass, and intensive spiritual direction. Krista asked Kevin to pull back the curtains on many years of the dark night of their marriage to show what a holy and muscular priest did to save her soul

11/7/24 - Today, there is more science-based evidence for God, the soul, and life after death than ever before. Then why are scores of people turning to unbelief because of “science”? The answer is simple: they do not know the science. Science at the Doorstep to God presents in depth the latest evidence to turn the rising tide of unbelief. Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., synthesizes eight recent studies confirming an intelligent creator of physical reality as well as a transphysical soul capable of surviving bodily death. This is the most comprehensive scientific treatment of God and the afterlife to date. It combines natural scientific method, metaphysical method, medical studies, anthropological and genetics studies, and phenomenological descriptions, showing how each distinct method and data set reinforces the others.
