In this week's episode, Phil EuBank sits down with Pastor Matt Summers to dive into Sunday's message, The System of Merit. Framing Roman Catholicism as our theological parent in the Christian family tree, they explore how a system built on human merit, sacraments, and tradition can subtly turn faith into a tollbooth or a self-funded spiritual insurance policy. Together, Phil and Matt discuss the core contrasts of the Protestant Reformation, specifically Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone) and salvation by grace alone through faith alone. Drawing from Phil's childhood friendship with a local priest named Father Michael, they highlight the vital need to hold deep conviction without losing the humble, loving posture of Jesus. They also turn the mirror on Protestant culture, exposing the invisible performance tolls we often pay when we try to earn God's love or blame ourselves during life's hardships.

The 1990s may have been the most pivotal decade for religious change in modern America. In this episode, we look at Ryan Burge's analysis of young adults and the sharp rise of the religiously unaffiliated during those years. The surprising part of the story is that no single Christian tradition collapsed on its own. Evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Black Protestants, and Catholics all lost ground, while church attendance also weakened. The result was not just a momentary shift but a long-term realignment that still shapes the religious landscape today. The post The Burge Report: Why the 1990s Were the Most Consequential in Modern U.S. Religious History appeared first on Church Answers.

People who would never set foot in a church are saying they believe Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, skeptics who reject the resurrection will defend the ethics of Jesus, and across the internet people are fascinated by the Nephilim, the Antichrist, and the Book of Enoch. Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb look into the phenomenon of secular interest in the Bible and why it almost always ignores the gospel.

44 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in a field. Which a man having found, hid it, and for joy thereof goeth, and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.Simile est regnum caelorum thesauro abscondito in agro : quem qui invenit homo, abscondit, et prae gaudio illius vadit, et vendit universa quae habet, et emit agrum illum. 45 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant seeking good pearls.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum homini negotiatori, quaerenti bonas margaritas. 46 Who when he had found one pearl of great price, went his way, and sold all that he had, and bought it.Inventa autem una pretiosa margarita, abiit, et vendidit omnia quae habuit, et emit eam. 47 Again the kingdom of heaven is like to a net cast into the sea, and gathering together of all kind of fishes.Iterum simile est regnum caelorum sagenae missae in mare, et ex omni genere piscium congreganti. 48 Which, when it was filled, they drew out, and sitting by the shore, they chose out the good into vessels, but the bad they cast forth.Quam, cum impleta esset, educentes, et secus littus sedentes, elegerunt bonis in vasa, malos autem foras miserunt. 49 So shall it be at the end of the world. The angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just.Sic erit in consummatione saeculi : exibunt angeli, et separabunt malos de medio justorum, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.et mittent eos in caminum ignis : ibi erit fletus, et stridor dentium. 51 Have ye understood all these things? They say to him: Yes.Intellexistis haec omnia? Dicunt ei : Etiam. 52 He said unto them: Therefore every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven, is like to a man that is a householder, who bringeth forth out of his treasure new things and old.Ait illis : Ideo omnis scriba doctus in regno caelorum, similis est homini patrifamilias, qui profert de thesauro suo nova et vetera.Laurence of Brindisi, a Capuchin friar who for some years ruled his whole Order, acquired great fame for learning and eloquence, and labored with remarkable success in most parts of Europe preaching to Catholics, to Protestants, and to Jews. When 80,000 Turks invaged Hungary in 1605, he it was who inspired the united Christian armies of 18,000 men to the attack and himself led them to complete victory riding before them bearing a large cross. He died in Lisbon in 1611. 1. The Treasure Hidden in the Field (vv. 44)A man discovers a treasure so valuable that he joyfully sells everything to buy the field.Notice two things:He doesn't give up everything reluctantly.He gives it up because he has found something infinitely better.Jesus isn't saying Christians should despise earthly goods. He's saying that once you've discovered the Kingdom, everything else finds its proper place.2. The Pearl of Great Price (vv. 45–46)This parable is slightly different.The first man stumbles upon the treasure.The merchant has been searching all along.Some people are converted unexpectedly. Others spend years searching for truth before they find Christ.Again, Jesus emphasizes the worth of the Kingdom.3. The Dragnet (vv. 47–50)Jesus is describing the visible kingdom on earth.The Church contains:saintssinnerspeople growing in holinesspeople resisting graceThe final separation belongs to God.Sometimes we wonder why evil seems to remain in the world—and even within the visible Church. Jesus says the final judgment comes at the end of the age.4. The Householder (vv. 51–52)Then He says:"Every scribe instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings forth from his treasure things new and old." A faithful disciple doesn't discard the old. He doesn't cling only to the new. He treasures both.As Catholics, we naturally think of:the Old Testament fulfilled in Christthe continuity of apostolic teachingthe Church preserving ancient truth while continually proclaiming it anew.

Jonathan Healey, The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603–1689. In 1649, Charles I was tried and executed in public, a shocking event that horrified European monarchs. The segment explores the establishment of the Protectorate under Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. John Lambert drafted the Instrument of Government, England's first written constitution, which included checks and balances and religious protections for Protestants. Although Cromwell refused the crown, his rule relied on military strength and the imposition of Puritan values, such as banning Christmas celebrations. Upon Cromwell's death in 1658, his son Richard failed to maintain control, leading the nation back into political chaos. (6)2650

It is very easy to get the church fathers wrong. From thinking that their doctrine was better or more pure, or that their proximity to Christ and the apostles gave them greater authority, there are many ways to go astray in considering their proper place in the church's history. And while Christ has used many men to lead his church, the primary means that He has used to mature and cleanse his bride is the leading of the Holy Spirit working through the power of His Word. One of the central concepts of the church is its corporate nature and that the church is Christ's bride, who is being made ready for him. But because we are often tempted to focus on individuals and their personal contributions and achievements, the church fathers often become a distraction from the corporate nature of the church and how Christ has made it more mature in both doctrine and practice. In this episode, we try to provide a biblical framework for thinking about God's love and care for the church without putting the wrong emphasis on the people he used. We also discuss how the church fathers are often used to make bad arguments about the church and its doctrine, particularly by the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches. Even the term “church father” gets used far too liberally by many, with the Roman Catholic church recognizing people as fathers as late as the eighth century (and, of course, they choose to elevate those whose writings support their favorite heresies).The church fathers deserve honor as the ones whom God used to lead the early church. But they do not deserve greater honor than other leaders who came after them. God has and is using different men to lead his church, but in the end, Jesus Christ is the one who is cleansing his bride. We should not sit at their feet and act as if they were made the ones to finalize the doctrine of the church. That honor belongs to our one true father, God himself, who will mature his Son's bride, “till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”Timecodes00:00 Intro05:24 Early Church in the Bible17:14 Who Has Authority?25:01 The Holy Spirit's Plan49:35 Theological Development57:10 Church Father ExamplesProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

Full Text of Readings Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 106 The Saint of the day is Saint Mary MacKillop Saint Mary MacKillop's Story If Saint Mary MacKillop were alive today, she would be a household name. It's not that she sought the limelight. On the contrary, she simply wanted to serve the poor wherever she found them in her native Australia. But along the way, she managed to arouse the ire of some rather powerful churchmen. One even excommunicated her for a time. Born in Melbourne in 1842, to parents who had emigrated from Scotland, Mary MacKillop grew up in a family that faced constant financial struggles. As a young woman she was drawn to religious life but could not find an existing order of Sisters that met her needs. In 1860, she met Father Julian Woods, who became her spiritual director. Together they founded a new community of women—the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, also known as the Josephite Sisters. Its members were to staff schools especially for poor children, as well as orphanages, and do other works of charity. As the congregation grew, so did Mary MacKillop's problems. Her priest-friend proved unreliable in many ways and his responsibilities for direction of the Sisters were removed. Meanwhile, Mary had the support of some local bishops as she and her Sisters went about their work. But the bishop in South Australia, aging and relying on others for advice, briefly excommunicated Mary—charging her with disobedience—and dispensed 50 of her Sisters from their vows. In truth, the bishop's quarrel was about power and who had authority over whom. He ultimately rescinded his order of excommunication. Mary MacKillop insisted that her congregation should be governed by an elected mother general answerable to Rome, not to the local bishop. There also were disputes about whether or not the congregation could own property. In the end, Rome proved to be Mary's best source of support. After a long wait official approval of the congregation—and how it was to be governed—came from Pope Leo XIII. Despite her struggles with Church authorities, Mary MacKillop and her Sisters were able to offer social services that few, if any, government agencies in Australia could. They served Protestants and Catholics alike. They worked among the aborigines. They taught in schools and orphanages and served unmarried mothers. Money, actually the lack of it, was a constant worry. But the Sisters who begged from door to door, were bolstered by faith and by the conviction that their struggles were opportunities to grow closer to God. By the time Mary MacKillop was approaching the end of her life, the congregation was thriving. She died in 1909 at the age of 67. Pope John Paul II beatified her in 1995. In 2010, when Pope Benedict XVI canonized her, she became Australia's first saint. Her liturgical feast is celebrated on August 8. Reflection The story of many foundresses of religious communities and the tales of the early days of those communities can make for fascinating reading. Those women were dedicated and tough and fought for those they served. Let's thank the Lord for raising up such wonderful examples of faith.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

What can Protestants learn from the Catholic tradition? Host Curtis Chang and The Atlantic writer and former White House staffer Pete Wehner explore how Catholic social teaching—from subsidiarity and solidarity to the preferential option for the poor—offers a rich framework for Christian public life. They consider the limits of sola scriptura, unpack the importance of intellectual rigor, and define Christian humanism.

La musique a longtemps servi et sert encore aujourd'hui différencier les deux communautés qui se partagent l'Irlande du Nord britannique. D'une part les Protestants, qui sont majoritairement pour le maintien de l'Union avec la Grande Bretagne : on les dénomme aussi "Unionistes" ou encore, pour les plus radicaux  "Loyalistes". De l'autre, les Catholiques, largement favorables à la réunification avec la République d'Irlande, qu'on appelle pour cette raison "Nationalistes", ou, lorsqu'ils ou elles sont partisans du Sinn Fein et de l'IRA, "les Républicains". Ces divisions, qui remontent à plusieurs siècles, sont encore visibles et très audibles aujourd'hui. Avec Gordon Ramsey et Stephen Millar, anthropologues à l'université Queen's de Belfast. Une série d'Etienne Duval, réalisée par Jean-Philippe Zwahlen et produite par Anaïs Kien.

**This episode includes two separate interviews.**Hilary Lawrey knows what it means to live with invisible boundaries. Growing up in Belfast during the Troubles, she experienced a world where fear quietly shaped everyday life—determining where people went, whom they met, and how communities remained separated. Though she never carried bitterness, the divisions around her became part of the landscape of her life.After spending fifteen years caring for her husband before his death, Hilary faced a different kind of isolation. Grief had narrowed her world, and the thought of walking into a shared space where Protestants and Catholics gathered together felt overwhelming. Yet she chose courage over fear.That single decision changed her life.Today, Black Mountain Shared Space has become a second home. Surrounded by friends from across the community, Hilary has rediscovered laughter, purpose, and the confidence to embrace new experiences—including traveling with women she had only recently met. She believes peace is built not by pretending differences don't exist, but by making room for one another while remaining true to who we are.Looking at her grandchildren, Hilary sees a future she never imagined as a child: one where friendships cross old divides and young people are free to go wherever life leads them. Her journey is a reminder that reconciliation is often less about changing someone else's mind than finding the courage to step through a door that once seemed impossible to open.**Mark Fenton is a community leader and founding member of Black Mountain Shared Space in Belfast, where he has spent nearly two decades helping build relationships across one of Northern Ireland's most deeply divided interfaces. Raised in the area during the Troubles, Mark became involved in interface violence as a child and later in loyalist paramilitary organizations, experiences that shaped his understanding of the conflict and the cost it imposed on local communities.A strong supporter of the Good Friday Agreement, Mark became involved in community peacebuilding to help ensure that future generations would not have to experience the violence and division he had known. Working alongside former members of the republican community, he has helped build trust, respond to community tensions, and create opportunities for people from both traditions to meet in a safe and welcoming environment.Mark is also a single father who raised two daughters after the death of his wife. He credits his work in peacebuilding with helping create a different future for his family, one in which his daughters—and now his grandchildren—can form friendships across community lines that would have been nearly impossible during his own childhood. Today, he remains committed to building safer, stronger communities by encouraging people to step beyond fear and give one another a chance.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

No, no he was not.   Elder Gurr writes in with an investigator's list of questions, and we tackle the big ones. Who holds the authority to decide which parts of the Bible are "translated correctly"? Who decided the canon, and why did Protestants pull the Apocrypha after 1,400 years? On grace versus works, why "saved by grace alone" quietly assumes a premise a billion Catholics reject, and why Calvinists and Arminians don't even worship the same Jesus.   The upshot: the disagreement itself is the case for a Restoration.   If you are interested in joining us in 2027 in Palmyra and Kirtland, August 1st through August 7th, click on the link below and reserve your spot: https://pci.jotform.com/form/261567888174171   Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠⁠ (https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com/)   If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠questions@standardoftruthpodcast.com

Send us Fan MailThis is part two of my conversation with Dr George Athas, Director of Research at Moore Theological College and author of Bridging the Testaments.In this episode, George explains why “Jesus is Lord” is not merely a private spiritual statement. In the world of the New Testament, where Caesar was lord and Rome promised peace, to confess Jesus as Lord was deeply political.We also talk about one of the most moving parts of the whole conversation: the Samaritans. I had always heard the Samaritan woman described mainly through the lens of Jewish hostility toward “mixed” people, but George explains the deeper history of Samaria, Mount Gerizim, Davidic hope, and why Jesus' conversation at the well is so significant.We also discuss:What Christians can learn from political instabilityWhy “Jesus is Lord” challenges every earthly powerThe tragedy and judgment in the GospelsThe Samaritans and the woman at the wellActs and the reunification of Israel under King JesusThe Dead Sea Scrolls and the EssenesWhat the Apocrypha is and how Protestants should think about itHow prophecy helps us read both the Old and New TestamentsPurchase George's book wherever you get your books!Bridging the Testaments: The History and Theology of God's People in the Second Temple PeriodFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Henry VIII was a tyrant. He was a brutal, wilful, petulant king, whose desire to do whatever the hell he felt like and deal with the consequences later, had driven his country into uncharted and dangerous waters. And this is his reign made manifest upon the streets of London- a city filled with massive mock battles on the river, accidental shootings of washerwomen, new churches to prevent bodies being dragged through Whitehall Palace, confusing mass executions of both Protestants and Catholics on the same day, parades of soldiers never destined to fight, and the king going through wives faster than some residents went though a decent jacket.And in all of this- that highest ranked of all London residents, Thomas Cromwell was to fall from power and be put to death. The sheer madness of the king made manifest in a city just trying to cope with his whims… Cover includes altered version of the portrait of Henry VIII, done by Hans Eworth based on the original by Hans Holbein the Younger (1540-1547)

For years, it feels like Catholics have been asked to choose a side.Traditional or progressive.Latin Mass or Novus Ordo.Justice or truth.Mercy or doctrine.Evangelization or tradition.But what if we've been asking the wrong question?In this episode of The Catholic Couple, Bobby and Katie discuss why division has become one of the greatest challenges facing Catholics today and why the answer isn't picking another side—it's becoming a saint.Drawing from Scripture, Church history, René Girard's scapegoat theory, the Catechism, and the "both/and" vision behind Bobby's upcoming book Guardians and Prophets, we explore how the devil often divides the Church not through outright lies, but through half-truths that pull Catholics away from the fullness of the faith.We also discuss: Why Catholic tribalism is growing  What René Girard teaches about scapegoating  The difference between Guardians and Prophets  What Catholics can learn from Protestants about discipleship and community  Why authentic relationships matter more than ever  Why we believe a real Catholic revival is happening  How the Eucharist holds everything together  Why the Mass is both the Sacrifice of Calvary and the Wedding Supper of the Lamb If you've ever been discouraged by Catholic infighting or wondered how we can move forward together, this conversation is for you.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comWas the American Revolution really a fight for religious freedom? Katherine Carté, Professor of History at Southern Methodist University and author of Religion and the American Revolution: An Imperial History, helps separate the national myth from the historical record. Carté explains that the Revolution was not one simple story. It was both a break from British rule and the messy process of building a new United States. Religion mattered deeply, but not always in the way Americans assume. The conflict was not mainly Protestants fighting Britain for religious liberty. It was a political struggle over sovereignty, power, empire, and who had the right to rule. Carté shows how British imperial Protestantism connected Anglicans, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, missionaries, donors, and colonial institutions before the war disrupted that order. The conversation also explores religious establishments, loyalists, Catholics, Jews, religious tests, secular citizenship, and why “Was America founded as a Christian nation?” is too narrow a question.Guest BioKatherine Carté is Professor of History at Southern Methodist University, where she studies early American history, the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, the Age of Revolutions, early modern religion, and digital humanities. She is the author of Religion and the American Revolution: An Imperial History, published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and UNC Press, and Religion and Profit: Moravians in Early America. Her work helps explain how British imperial Protestantism shaped colonial life, how the American Revolution disrupted that religious and political order, and why the founding era cannot be reduced to simple claims about America being either Christian or secular.Book MentionedReligion and the American Revolution: An Imperial History by Katherine CartéBookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9781469662640Relevant Links & ResourcesKatherine Carté Faculty ProfileURL: https://people.smu.edu/kengel/ Support Sarah Stankorb's work and preorder Damned If She Does: Why Women Quit Church and What It Means for the Future of Religion, Releases September 15, 2026.  Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798889837091Website: https://www.sarahstankorb.com/Support the showKeep the conversation going.Want to learn more about Faithful Politics, suggest a future guest, or connect with us directly?Visit our website:faithfulpoliticspodcast.comBrowse our bookstore, featuring books from many of our guests:faithfulpoliticspodcast.com/bookstoreSupport the show and help us keep these conversations going:patreon.com/cw/FaithfulPoliticsSubscribe for behind-the-scenes content, reflections, and updates:faithfulpolitics.substack.comContact the hosts:Josh Burtram, Faithful Host: Josh@faithfulpolitics.comWill Wright, Political Host: Will@faithfulpolitics.comFollow Faithful Politics:Instagram: faithful_politicsFacebook: FaithfulPoliticsPodcast

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. The United States is celebrating its 250th birthday, marking two and a half centuries since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. That a country as expansive and diverse as ours has remained united under a single Constitution for two and a half centuries—passing through multiple existential wars, including a civil war, and numerous periods of traumatic political and economic upheaval—is a monumental achievement by any historical standard. How might we assess this moment from a Catholic perspective? What is it about the United States of America that is politically and morally distinctive? What binds us together as a people? Is it accurate to say that we are a Christian nation? If not, what conception of "God" is operative in the founders' references to the divine? If so, what should we make of the future of America given the dramatic decline of Church attendance among both Catholics and Protestants in recent decades? Perhaps most importantly for this moment, what can we learn from our collective past as Americans to guide us into the future? Here to address these questions, and to share his experience participating in the recent Rededicate 250 event on the National Mall in Washington, DC, is Bishop Robert Barron. Topics Covered 00:00 | Introduction 01:28 | Bishop Barron visits Orlando (The US bishops consecrate the nation to the sacred heart of Jesus 02:50 | Rededicate 250 in Washington DC 04:01 | Is this a Christian nation? 07:10 | How did the Founding Fathers view God? 08:51 | Mere Christianity or Protestant theology? 12:30 | The founding documents and God 14:38 | The Declaration of Independence: a declaration of dependence on God 16:07 | Connecting freedom with human dignity 22:33 | Relating equality with freedom 24:21 | Can patriotism and piety agree? 27:04 | Responding to the post-liberal critique of the American experiment 34:01 | Evangelism and the American Republic 35:28 | Listener question: Is praying for politicians effective? 37:49 | Join the Word on Fire Institute Links: Word on Fire Institute: https://institute.wordonfire.org/ NOTE: Do you like this podcast? Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member!

Mary's sinlessness, the Temple veil, the Jewish Mikvah and more on Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled on several issues related to immigration policy. While the court narrowly preserved birthright citizenship, it issued other rulings that will put an untold number of people in danger. One ruling, Mullin v Al Otro Lado, upheld the federal government's policy of turning back asylum seekers before they can reach the US-Mexico border—a policy also known as “metering”—hollowing out the right to asylum enshrined in both domestic and international law. In her dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor referenced the St. Louis, the ship of Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany turned away from the US, whose passengers were mostly killed in the Holocaust: “Congress passed the Refugee Act in 1980 because it did not want this country to repeat the mistakes of its past. Yet if the refugees on the M. S. St. Louis were to walk up to a port of entry on our southern border today, the majority's interpretation would allow immigration officers to refuse even to consider their asylum applications by physically blocking them from stepping foot onto US soil,” she said.In another ruling, Mullin v Doe, the Supreme Court granted the president the power to end the Temporary Protected Status program, or TPS, which has allowed vetted and eligible immigrants to live and work legally in the US if they cannot return safely to their countries. Justice Samuel Alito, in his majority opinion, said courts do not have a say in what the president and the Department of Homeland Security decide; the president can end TPS for Haitians and Syrians without judicial review. He also rejected a separate claim brought by Haitians that the move to deport them was based in racial prejudice. TPS has been in effect since 1990. There are 350,000 Haitians who have been in the US legally under TPS, and whose lives have now been thrown into chaos.In our spring issue, we published a prescient piece by immigration reporter Tanvi Misra about the death of asylum, and the ways that its decline is a dire portent for democracy itself. Asylum, Misra reminds us, is a “place-based right” designed to prioritize human life over national borders: As soon as an endangered person steps foot onto a country's soil, they “are entitled to that body's protection,” regardless of whether they crossed with permission. This is exactly the principle that has been undermined with this recent ruling, which prevents people from arriving and making an application. As this ruling suggests, for as long as asylum has existed in the US, so have efforts to weaken it. It has been issued selectively and on racial grounds—much more easily been granted to German-speaking Protestants than to Jews escaping the Holocaust; readily offered to Cubans fleeing Castro but not to Haitians fleeing the US-supported Duvalier dictatorship.Misra's essay tells us that this tactic of denying landfall to migrants as a way of denying them asylum has gone into overdrive in the past decades as border agents try to intercept asylum seekers earlier and earlier in their journeys. In the process, the US border has, Misra says, “not just hardened, but expanded”—into Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, and beyond. Under Trump 2.0, the border has also spilled inward, into LA, Chicago, Minneapolis, and all the other places where border agents are chasing down asylum seekers and, increasingly, all migrants.In this episode of On the Nose, recorded in mid-June before the Supreme Court rulings, Misra speaks about these grievous attacks on asylum with John Washington, a staff reporter at Lookout and the author of the forthcoming book, How to Close a Camp: Dispatches from the Fight Against Immigrant Detention, as well as The Case for Open Borders and The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexico Border.This conversation was originally a live membership event.

“Are Christians just Protestants?” This question opens a discussion on the diverse identities within Christianity, addressing misconceptions about faith. The conversation also touches on whether Jesus had blood-relative brothers and the Catholic understanding of Mary’s perpetual virginity, alongside the differences between Catholic and Orthodox beliefs regarding the Immaculate Conception. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:15 – Are people who call themselves Christian just protestants? 05:35 – My Protestant friend said Jesus had blood-relative brothers. I said if that were true, Jesus would not have entrusted Mary to John's care at the foot of the cross. Was that a good defense? 16:10 – I'm protestant. The bible says Jesus had brothers so how do Catholics come to the conclusion that Mary was a virgin all her life? 35:00 – I'm Eastern Orthodox. What is the Catholic argument for the Immaculate conception rather than the Orthodox believe in the Dispassionate Conception, and the Catholic belief in original sin versus the Orthodox idea of ancestral sin. 51:43 – What covenant did Jesus fulfill?

Patrick brings listeners into a lively exchange of questions, challenges, and encouragement, blending practical advice and direct responses to common misconceptions about Catholic teaching. He tackles themes ranging from Mass attendance dilemmas and the nature of faith and justification, to distinctions between doctrine and discipline, all while using real-life examples and biblical references. Jackie - The previous caller was very rude and disrespectful to Patrick. (00:45) Nohl - Christ called for his disciples to fast. (02:51) Andrew - I was reading Council of Trent on justification. I’m confused by faith as a preparation for justification and baptism as act of justification. (07:25) Walter - Taco Tuesday Jo (email) - You were discussing DNA and recommended a book. Now I can't remember the name of the book, nor can I find the conversation in the archives. Please let me know the name of the book you recommended (15:19) Keaton (email) - I have a friend who is Roman Catholic and he said back at the start of 2025 his goal was to get to church more, and in 2026 he has been getting to weekly mass as much as he can. I am very proud of him for doing so, however I asked if he was going on Saturday or Sunday, he said it's almost impossible for him to make it. (21:32) Karen (email) - There are so many prayers, so many devotions, novenas, Liturgy of Hours, consecrations, lectio divina, contemplative prayer, and so forth--so many people telling us that "this" is the thing to do, the one to pray, etc. How can any one person fit them all in without feeling overwhelmed? (25:23) Karen - I don't understand why people who talk about sola scripture when Jesus was teaching and preaching orally. The New Testament was not written when He was alive. (30:51) Gail - A priest said if you can't make it on Sunday, you can pick a weekday as obligation (43:16) Julie - How do Protestants justify sola scriptura if they don't live by it. In the New Testament, how do we know what to obey or explicitly follow? (47:11)

This topic is one that is on the surface too political for confessionalism Protestantism (which is more about church life than society).  But Christian nationalism is not only trending but a natural for confessional communions, for two reasons. The first is that Lutherans, Anglicans, and Presbyterians all grew up in Christian "nations"; our churches began during a period of European history sometimes called confessional because each state sponsored a church that had its own confession.  The second good reason is that the Presbyterian Church in America, a confessional Protestant communion, produced a report on Christian nationalism.   With the topic fair game for confessional Protestants, co-hosts, Anglican Miles Smith, Lutheran Korey Maas, and Presbyterian D. G. Hart discussed the PCA's preliminary report (received for study at the recent General Assembly).  But the pudcasters did so with the added twist of discussing Miles Smith's response to the report.  In what might have appeared to be a hunt without any Lutheran dogs, Korey Maas had plenty to say not only because of Miles Smith's early departure from the recording.  Among the subtopics discussed were natural law, the magistrate's basis for punishing evil and rewarding good conduct, and the church's capacity to speak on political matters.  Listeners will be very surprised to learn - spoiler alert - that the pudcasters answered every single question that anyone has about Christian nationalism. (Disclaimer for Christian nationalists who struggle with humor: this last sentence is a joke.)

Le quatre octobre 1539, en vue d'un rapprochement avec les protestants allemands, un accord d'union est signé entre le roi d'Angleterre, Henri VIII, et Anne de Clèves. Quelques mois plus tard, cette dernière devient la quatrième épouse du monarque qui, au total, en affichera six. Le mariage ne fera pas long feu et la jeune infortunée est répudiée après six mois. D'Henri, on garde l'image d'un homme à femmes, obèse et cruel : un ogre proche de Barbe Bleue à qui on l'a souvent comparé. Au-delà du roman populaire, Henri VIII est, avant tout, le roi de la rupture avec Rome et aussi un balancier entre la France de François 1e et le Saint Empire germanique de Charles Quint .Un roi qui laissera, au terme d'un long règne de trente-huit années, un pays exsangue et divisé.

As much as we love and respect our separated brothers and sisters in Christ, the Protestants, we must realize as Catholics that their understanding of the relationship between faith, works, judgment, and salvation is ultimately unbiblical. The Bible tells us we will be judged by our works, and Jesus reminds us that if we receive a prophet in His name, we will receive the reward of a prophet.

How Are Protestants Navigating a Moral and Spiritual Vacuum in Evangelicalism?   Host Curtis Chang talks with former White House staffer and Atlantic columnist Pete Wehner about why Pope Leo XIV is resonating with Protestants and evangelicals despite historic theological divides. Together, they explore the Pope's moral leadership while contrasting his dignified, intellectually grounded public witness with Donald Trump's increasingly erratic influence on evangelical political culture. The conversation examines a perceived spiritual leadership vacuum within Protestantism and calls pastors, congregations, and followers of Jesus to cultivate beauty, goodness, and truth as a long-term path toward renewing Christian public witness.   00:34 - Introduction to Pope Leo XIV's Influence 02:29 - Is There a Protestant Appreciation for Catholicism? 03:59 - What Is This Pope's Impact on Public Theology? 06:06 - Papal Influence in Past Administrations 11:19 - The Collapse of Evangelical Public Theology 14:18 - Can Protestants Still Exert Moral Influence? 21:16 - The "Mad King" and Trump's Cognitive Decline 28:42 - What Can Pastors Do? 32:00 - The Importance of Beauty, Goodness, and Truth 37:08 - What Is The Pope's Transcendent Influence?   Sign up for the Anxiety Opportunity Course Use the code: Goodfaith Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List   Referenced in the Episode: Pete Wehner's article "The American Pope vs. the American President"  Pete Wehner's article "The Apotheosis of Donald Trump" Pope Leo XIV's Encyclical Letter: Magnifica Humanitas The Madness of King George (YouTube free with ads) David Bentley Hart's The Beauty of the Infinite Wordsworth's The Prelude, Book 14  Good Faith's course: The After Party   Scriptures Referenced: 1 Timothy 3 (ESV) Titus 1 (ESV)   Protestant and Catholic Leaders Referenced: Pope John Paul II Pope Benedict XVI Pope Francis Reinhold Niebuhr C.S.

Msgr. Pope and Father Larry join Bill to discuss five common issues that our Protestant brothers and sister have with the Roman Catholic Church

Fr. Jason Charron is a Ukrainian Catholic Priest who currently serves two parishes, inside the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saint Josaphat in Parma. In Today's Show: If God's love for us never changes, does it make sense to say we please Him more after or when we change from vice to virtue? I'm a Roman Catholic and discerning marriage with a lady who is practicing in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). She cannot marry me unless I agree to raise our children Orthodox. What should I do? How does one overcome jealousy over those who are in a romantic relationship? Do Eastern Catholics view Purgatory in a different way than Roman Catholics? Why do Protestants say that Jesus is the rock, and not St. Peter? And more.

“Where are sacraments in the Bible?” This question opens a discussion on the biblical foundations of Catholicism, including the presence of sacraments. Other topics include the meaning behind the phrase “take it to the foot of the cross,” the role of Cardinals in Scripture, and how logic can support the papacy. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:35 – If Catholicism is in the Bible, where do you see the sacraments in the bible? 10:15 – I hear a lot of Protestants use say “take it to the foot of the cross and lay it down.” What exactly does that mean and does it square with Catholicism? 12:45 – I'm a recent convert. I have not been successful in convincing my friends and family about the Catholic Church. How do I convince them that it matters to belong to the Catholic Church as opposed to another church. 19:40 – Where do we find Cardinals in the Bible? 31:30 – Can we prove Catholicism and the papacy just by using logic and reason? How can people condemn the Church with the bible if the Church canonized the bible? 40:25 – Sin clouds our mind and makes it harder for us to express our true free will. Mary was protected from sin so always had the clearest use of her free will. If God desired all of us to go to Heaven, why didn't he give us the same grace he gave to Mary? 44:53 – Former Catholic, looking into Orthodoxy… What is some proof for the papacy?

Patrick answers questions about genetics and the origins of human diversity, pulling scientific research and Catholic teaching together. He takes listeners through nuanced discussions on the requirements for sacraments, the boundaries of marriage, and the interplay between faith and works, pausing to address misunderstandings, personal stories, and even the surprising controversy of flags at Mass. Unexpected humor and honest confessions surface as Patrick reacts spontaneously, weaving science, doctrine, and lived experience into moments both challenging and uplifting. Braelyn (12-years-old) - How do we get such diverse people in the world if we all came from Adam and Eve? (00:32) Ryan - Would a person who is infiltrating the Church, like a communist, still have a valid baptism if their intent was to deceive? (10:05) Raul - Someone is using 'Origin' to justify 'faith alone'. How can I respond to that? (11:47) Jeannie - I think that a lot of people who have problems with the Catholic Church is from the demanding work required from us to understand the faith. (21:56) Sunny - How do Protestants get into Heaven if they don't have the strict rules of getting there? (29:57) Margaret - I heard the Pope came out with seven changes; one having to do with celibacy and priests. Is this true? (37:48) Don - Does the Church allow Sacramental marriage if the intent is to never have children? (42:52) Lucy - When someone is living with mortal sin, how are their prayers received by God? (44:59) Sally - Our priest is saying that the American flag is not allowed to be displayed in the Catholic Church. (47:25)

Patrick opens with a caller’s honest struggle about sustaining faith and character in environments that never quite align with Catholic convictions, offering advice that blends scriptural grit with lived wisdom. Conversations about the unchecked spread of AI and massive data centers quickly turn uneasy, sparking debate over their promises and the unseen costs shaping towns and families while ordinary life persists. Josh - Is it a problem that I don't talk about my faith? (00:46) Anne - We have 5 children involved in cybersecurity and AI. Pope Leo wrote about bringing Catholic teaching to industries. I am also concerned about data centers taking up land space. We were offered money for land. (15:01) Maria - Data Centers take a lot of energy and I believe they raise electricity and they take up a lot of water. I think they could cause a drought. (24:42) Joe - Why would Protestants care about the rapture? Why was the father of John the Baptist punished? (31:06) Billy (email) – Is it wrong to take a photo of the Roses at the Basilica while going up for Communion? (39:42) Jan (email) - Our parish has a priest who doesn't elevate the host and the cup, he doesn't distribute Communion, he doesn't genuflect when he walks by the tabernacle, he doesn't greet his parishioners after Mass, and worst of all, he doesn't like to hear Confessions so he very often refuses to do so. Phil - Data Centers are on a closed-circuit system. It doesn't cause water pollution. (48:52) (Originally Aired on 05/18/2026)

You asked, we're answering! After months of receiving questions about Catholicism, I decided it was time to dive in. I've invited Wit (my pastor) to join me as we address FAQs about Catholicism from Protestants (Part 1) and answer questions about Protestants from Catholics (Part 2). For Part 1, Wit interviewed a local Catholic priest, Father Gavin, to ensure that our answers accurately reflect the Catholic perspective. Any answers he gives in this episode either come directly from Father Gavin's responses or from other sources accepted by the Catholic Church. Although we provide some commentary in this episode, our goal is primarily to faithfully convey the Catholic viewpoint on some of the most common questions I received (such as whether Catholics worship Mary or why they believe in purgatory). We hope this episode provides clarity for those non-Catholic listeners who find themselves wondering about common points of confusion. Enjoy!

Who decided which books belong in the Bible — and why did Enoch, Thomas, and Peter get left out? It wasn’t The Da Vinci Code version. It wasn’t Constantine at Nicaea. And it wasn’t some random power grab. The real story of the biblical canon is far more fascinating.
