Season 4 Episode 1 In this episode, Fr. Martin Connor, LC, engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Fr. Steven Reilly, LC, on the crucial importance of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. They delve into how modern lifestyles often prioritize constant movement and distraction, leaving little space for introspection. This lack of self-awareness can quietly influence individuals, impacting their relationships and behaviors without their conscious recognition. By exploring these dynamics, they uncover how unprocessed emotions can unexpectedly manifest in actions, underscoring the significance of acknowledging and understanding our internal states for personal growth and healthier interactions. Father Steven Reilly, LC, is a member of the Legionaries of Christ. After having joined the congregation in 1982, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1994, in Mexico City. He studied philosophy in Rome at the Pontifical Gregorian University and theology at the Legion's own Pontifical University, Regina Apostolorum, also in Rome. He worked in Dallas, Washington, D.C., and New York. In 2020, he was named to the territorial council for the Legion's North American territory and joined the territorial directorate community in Cumming, Georgia. His younger brother is also a priest in the Legion, Father Scott Reilly LC, who is currently assigned as the Legion's center near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History, a library of Catholic knowledge and insights. Check out the show notes for sources, further reading, and a transcript. Today we're discussing another current Cardinal of the Catholic Church, one of the 120 or so people who will choose the next Pope when the time comes. William GOH SENG CHYE was born on June 25, 1957 in Singapore, an island city-state in southeast Asia just off the Malay Peninsula, which was at the time still a British crown colony, but which would soon begin self-rule. I mentioned Singapore when discussing Cardinal Francis, who was born just across the strait in neighboring Malaysia. In fact, I even referenced today's Cardinal, saying I would be covering him in November, but of course things changed a bit since then and I expect you'll forgive me if I don't wait until this November to avoid being wrong about that. Anyways, as if to underscore how close all of Singapore is to its larger neighbor, William did the philosophy half of his seminary training in Malaysia and the theology half in Singapore. Shortly before his 28th birthday, he was ordained as a priest for the Archdiocese of Singapore, and yes, if you guessed that the Archdiocese of Singapore is actually the only diocese in Singapore, you'd be correct. We looked at the somewhat similar case of tiny Luxembourg a couple episodes ago, but there are differences here, most notably in terms of population density- Singapore is less than a third the size of Luxembourg, but has over eight times the population. The island is basically one big city, home to nearly six million souls. Also, unlike Luxembourg, most of those souls aren't Catholic, with the Church claiming 170,000 adherents, or a little over 3% of the population. The first five years of William's priesthood were spent as a pastor in one of Singapore's 32 Catholic churches. As a colonial legacy, Masses in Singapore are typically said in English, and yes Cardinal Goh's English is fine. Oops, sorry, I'm supposed be calling him Father Goh for this part so you can pretend to be surprised. My bad. Anyways, his Mandarin is also fine, for what it's worth. Father Goh made his way to Rome and studied at the Pontifical Gregorian University for the next couple years, winding up with a licentiate in theology. Upon his return to Singapore it was back to pastoral work as well as a professorship at the local seminary. By 2005, he was serving as rector. On December 29th, 2012, Father Goh was selected as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Singapore, which would normally mean he would become the new Archbishop within the next few months, and in this case meant yes, he became the new Archbishop about five months later. When he became coadjutor, he had the following to say, quote: "I would like to pay particular attention to the young people because this is the important lot of people in the church. They are vibrant, they are creative, they are full of energy, so the church needs to reach out to these young people, so I would like to meet them too, and to understand their aspirations and how they can contribute to the growth of the church.” End quote. Unusually, Archbishop Goh also had a role in the secular government of Singapore, serving on the Presidential Council for Minority Rights from 2015 to 2018. Speaking of minority rights, when it comes to migrants Archbishop Goh has been supportive, hosting special masses and saying things like, quote: “Be inclusive and always be available and generous with your time and talents to help others grow and flourish, especially the migrants. Only then will we be able to build God's Kingdom where fraternity may flourish.” End quote. Anyone vaguely familiar with Pope Francis knows he's got a soft spot for migrants, and sharing that sense is a good way to get on his good books. One way or another, Pope Francis made Archbishop Goh Singapore's first Cardinal in 2022. Later that year, he appointed him to the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life. William Cardinal GOH is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2037. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and there will be more Cardinal Numbers soon.

TRANSCRIPT Welcome to Popeular History, a library of Catholic knowledge and insights. Check out the show notes for sources, further reading, and a transcript. Today we're discussing another current Cardinal of the Catholic Church, one of the 120 or so people who will choose the next Pope when the time comes. Jean Claude Höllerich was born on August 9, 1958 in Differdange, Luxembourg. Sandwiched at the intersection of Belgium, France, and Germany, Luxembourg isn't exactly large but for what, it's worth, Differdange is on the southwestern corner of things. He actually grew up in Vianden, which is clear on the opposite northeast end of the country, a full hour's drive away. Anyways, Jean Claude went to Rome relatively early on in his journey, once he decided to pursue the priesthood he began studying at the Pontifical Gregorian University. He formally joined the Jesuit Order in 1981, doing his novitiate in Namur, Belgium, followed by a couple years of pastoral training back home in Luxembourg, then actually on to Japan and I'll bet you didn't see that one coming. But yes from 1985 to 1989 he studied Japanese, not only the language but the culture as well, accompanied of course by theological studies, which he capped off back closer to home in Germany. By the time of his 1990 ordination Father Höllerich was deep into studying German language and literature, winding up with his second licentiate, by which point he was already a decade into his teaching career. His early teaching had been focused on forming seminarians, but by 1994 he was settled in at Sophia University in Tokyo, where his focus was European studies. He gradually built his portfolio at that university, becoming student chaplain in 1999, then rector of the school's Jesuit community as well as vice-rector for general affairs and students at the school as of 2008. I should also note that he took his final vows as a Jesuit during all that, in 2002. In 2011, the Archbishop of Luxembourg–aka the *only* Roman Catholic bishop of Luxembourg–retired. There has never been a non-Luxembourger Archbishop and there are only so many Luxembourger priests of the right age with the right qualifications-don't get me wrong I do think Father Höllerich was surprised but maybe just a bit less surprised than others we've talked about when he was named as the next Archbishop. In a nice touch given Höllerich's history, the Archbishop of Tokyo joined the Archbishop of Cologne and the Archbishop Emeritus of Luxembourg in consecrating him on October 16, 2011. In his role as Archbishop–and even before– he was frequently involved in side projects like bringing the Catholic Scouts of Europe to Luxembourg and serving as President of the Catholic Bishops Conferences of Europe's Commission for youth. In 2018, he was elected president of the Commission of the Bishops' Conferences of the European Union (COMECE). In 2019, Pope Francis named him as a Cardinal-Priest, assigning him the titular church of San Giovanni Crisostomo a Monte Sacro Alto and making him the first Luxembourger Cardinal. Cardinal Höllerich has gained a reputation for being progressive–by Catholic standards–calling for lay empowerment and women deacons and being relatively LGBT+ affirming. On the latter topic, here's an eyebrow-raising quote: "I believe that the sociological-scientific foundation of this teaching is no longer correct," End quote. In this he found himself at odds with the late Cardinal Pell, who publicly called for Pope Francis to condemn Höllerich's quote “wholesale and explicit” end quote rejection of Church teaching on sexuality. He's also the highest ranking Church official I've ever seen to openly express a willingness to consider full on women's ordination, not just the more common willingness to restore an unordained diaconate for women but openness to full-on women priests. Given his progressive streak, it's not terribly surprising that Cardinal Höllerich's appointment as Relator General for the Synod on Synodality got a lot of attention generally and concern from more conservative commentators specifically. The Synod on Synodality–officially the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops but Synod on Synodality is what's caught on so that's what we're rolling with–the Synod on Synodality is a rolling conversation that was originally supposed to wrap up in 2022 but it got pushed back to 2023 and then extended to a two-year program that started about a year ago and will conclude this October. A synod is a gathering of bishops, and therefore a synod on synodality is something of a meeting on meetings, but it's had a large amount of interest especially when someone like Höllerich was setting up the discussion topics, including increasing the participation of women and the laity in the life of the Church and being more pastoral slash welcoming to LGBT+ individuals. Right now I can tell you that I expect more movement on including women and laity in Church governance- it's already happened with the Synod itself, with laity including women having a voting role in the Synod on Synodality itself, a noteworthy departure from the Church's administrative tradition. But don't get too riled up about women deacons, much less women priests, or significant changes on the LGBT+ front, because by all accounts major shifts on those higher profile fronts are, simply put, not likely. In 2020, Pope Francis named Cardinal Hollerich as a member of the Pontifical Council for Culture and then added him to the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialog a few months later. In September 2021 he was named as one of the two vice presidents of the Council of the European Bishops' Conferences (CCEE), and last but certainly not least in earlier this year Pope Francis added Cardinal Höllerich to his special kitchen cabinet “Council of Cardinals”, the same body where his erstwhile critic Cardinal Pell had served until his passing. Jean Claude Höllerich is eligible to participate in future conclaves until he turns 80 in 2038. Today's episode is part of Cardinal Numbers, and there will be more Cardinal Numbers next week. Thank you for listening; God bless you all!
Dr Sabrina Lei, Director of Tawasul Europe Centre for Dialogue and Research, is an emerging Italian Muslim philosopher and thinker. Trained in Latin, Greek and ancient philosophy for over a decade, with a PhD from Pontifical Gregorian University (one of the prominent centres of Catholic scholarship in Rome) in ancient Greek philosophy. Dr Sabrina has, so far, translated over 25 Muslim classics into Italian, besides producing her own five books, including a biography of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the recently released book : Le comunita religioso non-musulmane nel mondo islamico : Un introduzione storica ( The non-Muslim Religious Community in the Muslim World : A Historical Introduction, March 2019). Some of her noted achievements include acclaimed Italian translations of Muhammad Iqbal's philosophical reflection on Islam called The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam. Dr Sabrina is currently working to publish a new edition of Abdullah Yusuf Ali's original English Quran translation, with an introductory study, to address the growing need for Quran translations with an inclusive and refined language in the West. This new edition of Yusuf Ali's Quran translation is set to be published by Tawasul Europe later this year, insha Allah. Dr Sabrina is also currently in the final phase of her study on the first Latin translation of the Quran (Lex Mahumet pseudoprophete, 1143). This study, backed up by linguistic, theological and philosophical insights, is set to show how this translation internalized and solidified many of the medieval Christian subjective notions about Islam, the Quran and Prophet (peace be upon him), and how it went on to influence the later western approaches to the Quran translation, etc. Tawasul Europe, a registered Italian Muslim charity-cum- think tank, founded by Dr Sabrina, is at the forefront of building bridges across cultures and religions in Italy. Tawasul Europe works with Vatican's Interfaith Section, Rome Municipality and the Grand Mosque of Rome, along with around 10 universities and educational centres in Italy.

Welcome to “Pathway to Priesthood”—a limited audio series from the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States in which host Eric Clayton talks with Jesuits who are in the final days of preparing for priestly ordination. Hear Jesuits reflect back on their vocation stories and experience of formation, all while wrestling with some of the biggest questions surrounding priestly ordination. On this episode, we're asking a basic question: Why even consider religious life? And what actually is it? To reflect on these questions and more, we have two Jesuits: Michael Mohr and Brook Stacey. Michael was born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has a background in teaching, and has spent the last couple of years of his formation studying at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. Brook grew up in Toronto, Ontario. Though his undergraduate studies were in geology, he has more recently completed a master's degree in psychospiritual studies. Both men have had the opportunity to live in a variety of places throughout the formation, and they both come at this question of religious life from very different perspectives. But at the end of the day, they both have found great consolation as members of the Society of Jesus. As you listen to their stories and reflections, consider whether you or someone you know might be interested in discerning a call to Jesuit life. If so, head over to beajesuit.org.

Thomas Merton had, in his life, important experiences with women. His life and writings are impregnated by those feminine presences and influences who provoked strong reactions and emotions in his heart and mind. We will examine some aspects of his experience with the feminine, including his mother's premature death, the multiple girlfriends of his youth (whose names he would not even remember), as well as some friendships which were important in his Christian journey, such as Naomi Burton, Dorothy Day, and Catherine de Hueck. Merton's life as a monk was also configured by important feminine spiritual figures, including Mary, the mother of Jesus, Julian of Norwich, and others. We will also examine carefully the epiphany that represented Merton's love for the young nurse M., and conclude with a theological reflection about how Merton's experiences with the feminine influenced his writings and provide new insights into mystical experience and service to the Church.

For more than a decade, Valerie Livesay, Ph.D. has been thinking about and inquiring into the phenomenon of fallback––when despite our optimal developmental capacities, what we often refer to as our developmental center-of-gravity—we make meaning, feel, and act from a smaller, less complex, less capable form of mind. As Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, Valerie accompanies individuals through their discovery of self, using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story. Through her writing, speaking, coaching, and workshop offerings, Valerie invites the many characters that comprise the full ensemble of one's self to dance together to better meet their intentions. She is the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning: Illuminating Fallback in Embrace of the Fullness of You in which she reveals both the despair and ecstasy that accompany a knowing of the fullness of one's allowing the reader to find the fullness of themselves in the journey of development and the experience of being human.Valerie earned her bachelor's degree from Indiana University and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego.

In initiating the Synod on Synodality, which is set to run through 2024, Pope Francis sought to lead the whole Church into a time of prayer, listening, and discernment. His hope is to foster these dispositions and habits within the Church as the regular way of living ecclesial life together. As this particular synodal process moves from the continental stage to universal stage, we wanted to spend some time getting a better sense of what this synod is all about and why it has been called.

GRNonline.com/CDT GRN to 42828 What's Concerning Us? – Benedict's Legacy with Michael Hichborn "dictatorship of relativism" Benedict XVI wrote comparatively few encyclicals, issuing just three in his eight-year pontificate (the 19th-century Pope Leo XIII produced 90 during his admittedly long pontificate). In his last official statement as pope, before a general audience on Feb. 27, 2013, Pope Benedict assured the tens of thousands of people gathered to hear him speak as pope for the last time that even though he was stepping back from official duties, he would remain, in essence, pope “The ‘always' is also a ‘forever' — there can no longer be a return to the private sphere. My decision to resign the active exercise of the ministry does not revoke this,” Benedict said. “I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences, and so on. I am not abandoning the cross, but remaining in a new way at the side of the crucified Lord,” he told the crowd. By his decision to continue to dress in white like the pope, retain the title of pope, and keep the coat of arms of his papacy, Benedict revealed that in giving up the “active exercise of the ministry,” he was not forsaking the role of pope altogether. In a speech at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome on May 20, 2016, Gänswein said that Pope Francis and Benedict are not two popes “in competition” with one another but represent one “expanded” Petrine office with “an active member” and a “contemplative.” VII – the last alive?

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: A Catholic pro-lifer in the United Kingdom who was arrested earlier this month for silently praying near an abortion business says she is receiving messages of support from both sides of the abortion debate. Isabel Vaughn Spruce, Director of March for Life UK, joins us with details on her arrest and where her case stands. With that massive snowfall in Buffalo, New York, and as the number of fatalities from the deadliest storm there in generations grows, President Joe Biden has approved an emergency declaration for New York. The White House says the president's actions will authorize the feds to coordinate all disaster relief efforts with the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the severe winter storm. Meanwhile, travelers are stranded at airports across the country. White House Correspondent Owen Jensen reports. As a new year rolls in, so does a new Congress and many are calling for a Big Tech oversight to top the list of priorities. This in the wake of reports that Twitter rigged the Covid debate and that both Facebook and Twitter employed dozens of former high ranking government officials from the FBI, CIA, and Department of Homeland Security. Jon Schweppe, Director of Policy and Government Affairs for the American Principles Project, joins us to unpack these reports. Fertility rates have been dropping for nearly a century. One solution looming on the horizon - artificial wombs. Scientists report that they're just a few years away from testing.

Originally trained as a lawyer, Dr. Heereman experienced a deep conversion experience at the 1997 World Youth Day. This conversion led her to discern a vocation as a lay woman “celibate for the sake of the kingdom of heaven” and also led her to theological studies so as to “consecrate [her] life to the study and teaching of the Word of God”. She received an STB from the Pontifical Gregorian University, an SSL from the Pontifical Biblical Institute, and the very rare SSD from the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem and the Université de Fribourg. Her doctoral thesis “Behold King Solomon on the Day of His Wedding”: A Symbolic-Diachronic Reading of Song 3:6-11 and 4:12-5:1 has been heralded by scholars as a profound contribution to scholarship on the Song of Songs. Dr. Heereman is presently an Assistant Professor of Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick's Seminary and University in Menlo Park, CA.

For more information on upcoming events, please visit our website at www.thomisticinstitute.org. About the speaker: Dr. Heereman was born and raised in a devout Catholic family in Germany. Originally trained to become a lawyer, she experienced a deep encounter with the Lord which led her to discern a vocation as a lay woman celibate for the sake of the kingdom. She received two years of spiritual formation and attended the ICPE school of Evangelization in India, Banglore, which eventually led her to theological studies so as to consecrate her life to the study and teaching of the Word of God. She received an STB from the Pontifical Gregorian University, an SSL from the Pontifical Biblical Institute, and the SSD from the École biblique et archéologique française de Jérusalem on and the Université de Fribourg. During and after her doctoral studies she lectured at the Collège des Bernhardins, Paris, and the Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome as a visiting professor. Explaining her discernment to join St. Patrick's faculty, Dr. Heereman writes: “In particular, I desire to open up the treasures of the Scriptures to future priests so that their ministry might be rooted in the Word of God as the living source of their life and preaching. I am deeply committed to the Church's desire to make ‘the study of the sacred page the very soul of theology' (DV 24).”
