Inspired by a dream, Prince Charles of Provence ordered an excavation that uncovered a sarcophagus believed to contain the remains of Mary Magdalene on 12th December, 1279.  The evidence presented included a papyrus note, a sweet rose fragrance filling the air, a wax-covered tablet proclaiming Mary's identity, and even a piece of skin where Jesus supposedly touched her after his resurrection.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly investigate how and why Mary may have ended up in France in the first place; recall the bout of ‘Magdalene mania' that gripped the mediaeval world; and explain why, for centuries, people said she was a sex worker…  Further Reading: • ‘How Early Church Leaders Downplayed Mary Magdalene's Influence' (HISTORY, 2019): https://www.history.com/news/mary-magdalene-jesus-wife-prostitute-saint • ‘The Skull and Bones of Mary Magdalene' (Atlas Obscura, 2013): https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/marys-house-in-provence • ‘Relics of St. Mary Magdalene in the Basilica of Saint-Maximin-la-Saint-Baume, France' (Pierre Repooc Productions, 2017): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO8MQzApXvE This episode first aired in 2023 Love the show?

A doll, brochure, and magazine in the DCA Tower of Terror Lobby were all telling a story, but no one has ever fully understood their significance... until now. Drop in with us as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its elegant (yet terrifying) design.In this episode, we check into the lobby of the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror and take in all the details of these two highly detailed set designs. Along the way, we explore the signs of the golden age of Hollywood, discuss some lost relics of 1930s culture, and take a few rabbit trails here and there into other fascinating places in Disney history. Kirk explains the creepy doll on the couch, Kate does a deep dive into Disney's Oz connections, and we both compare and contrast this lobby with the original in Florida, and how the Imagineers reimagined this attraction on a budget.

EPYSODE 64: "May Blitz" by May Blitz. Guest: May Blitz bassist Reid Hudson. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. Fresh off our deep dive into As Sheriff's lost 60's recordings, we follow the trail to London in 1970, where bassist Reid Hudson helped forge something far heavier. With guitarist Jamie Black and drummer Tony Newman, May Blitz delivered a self-titled debut that captured the raw, thunderous spirit of the era's underground rock scene.We spin through the album's molten riffs, jazz-inflected rhythms, and acid-soaked atmosphere, an explosive mix that put the band in the same league as Black Sabbath and Atomic Rooster.Half power trio, half psychedelic séance, this album remains a cult cornerstone of the heavy progressive movement. I hope you dig "May Blitz" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in order of appearance. There is no Spotify playlist available for this Epysode as the album is not available there.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche explains why Buddha manifested relics. He says that it was explained in the Golden Light Sutra that the Buddha showed a short lifespan to benefit sentient beings. The activity of passing away and leaving relics shows the skillful means of the Buddha. By prostrating, making offerings, and serving the relic, you are able to abandon the eight non-freedoms. You will also meet a virtuous friend, not give up bodhicitta, increase unimaginable merit, and quickly go beyond samsara. Also, each time you see Buddha's relic, it purifies one thousand eons of negative karma.Rinpoche says that one time he went to Chenrezig Institute and noticed that the atmosphere had changed. It had become very peaceful and calm. Then, he realized it was because of the new prayer wheel. This was one of the first prayer wheels in the FPMT organization. Rinpoche says that the prayer wheel inspiration came from Geshe Lama Konchog, who told him where he could find a text that refers to the incredible benefits of prayer wheels. Rinpoche read this text, put it on his head, and declared that he would spread this practice all over the world.Rinpoche talks about Geshe Lama Konchog, who left five-colored relics. He says that these relics are very unusual; they indicate someone who has attained Buddha's five wisdoms. Rinpoche praises the way Geshe Lama Konchog lived austerely and practiced Dharma.Rinpoche also discusses Zina's life story and the emergence of the FPMT organization. He talks about how they first met in Darjeeling and how she passed away while doing a long retreat in Nepal. Rinpoche says that he checked with two lamas, and both asserted that she had gone to a pure realm.From April 10 to May 10, 2004, Lama Zopa Rinpoche gave extensive teachings during the Mahamudra Retreat at Buddha House in Australia. While the retreat focused on Mahamudra, Rinpoche also taught on a wide range of Lamrim topics. This retreat marked the beginning of a series of month-long retreats in Australia. Subsequent retreats were held in 2011, 2014, and 2018, hosted by the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion in Bendigo.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

EPYSODE 63: "Six Ways To The Ace" by As Sheriff. Guests: As Sheriff band members Reid Hudson and Andy Godon, Supreme Echo record label owner Jason Flower. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we dig deep into the hazy archives of Canada's late-60s underground with "Six Ways to the Ace", a new release from Supreme Echo featuring the long-lost recordings of As Sheriff. Emerging from the Victoria/Vancouver scene, As Sheriff blended shimmering folk harmonies with a psychedelic edge, a sound as coastal as it was cosmic. We explore how these reels of tape survived half a century, what they reveal about a vibrant yet overlooked West Coast music scene, and how bassist Reid Hudson's journey from local gigs to May Blitz links this forgotten band to the heavier chapters of rock history. This album is a revelation...and a resurrection.

EPYSODE 62: "Crazy Horse Roads" by Stained Glass. Guest: Stained Glass drummer Dennis Carrasco. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we trace the winding, electric path of Stained Glass through their powerful and often-overlooked 1970 album "Crazy Horse Roads", a burst of psychedelic energy from a band caught in the shifting tides of the West Coast scene. With exclusive commentary from original drummer Dennis Carrasco, we explore the album's varied styles, a stark evolution from their earlier, harmony-rich garage-psych sound. We dive into the tracks and the story as Carrasco offers rare insight into the band's creative crossroads. Recorded as the psychedelic '60s gave way to the introspective '70s, this album is an underrated gem that is deserving of more attention.

EPYSODE 61: "MU" by MU. Guest: Merrell Fankhauser. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we journey into the cosmic unknown with "MU" , the cult 1971 debut album from Merrell Fankhauser's post-H.M.S. Bounty band, formed with ex-Captain Beefheart guitarist Jeff Cotton (aka Antennae Jimmy Semens). With exclusive commentary from Merrell himself, we uncover the origins of the band's name (a nod to the mythical lost continent of MU), the spiritual inspiration behind the tracks, and the band's eventual migration to Maui in search of metaphysical truth and better vibes. Blending desert blues, psychedelic folk, and exploratory jam-rock, "MU"  is a hidden gem of the early '70s underground, one that has quietly influenced generations of psych-heads, crate-diggers, and cosmic seekers. If you've ever wondered what happens when acoustic blues, psychedelia, and esoteric mysticism collide, this epysode is your portal. I hope you dig "MU" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @  ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured.

EPYSODE 60: "Things!" by Merrell Fankhauser & H.M.S. Bounty. Guest: Merrell Fankhauser. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we resurrect one of the most intriguing and overlooked gems of the psychedelic era: "Things!", the lone LP by Merrell Fankhauser and H.M.S. Bounty. With exclusive commentary from Merrell himself, we journey through the album's sun-soaked melodies, acid-drenched lyrics, and fuzzed-out textures that reflect California's transition from surf rock innocence to psychedelic introspection. Hear the backstory behind the tracks plus tales from the band's brief brush with fame. We explore how Fankhauser's surf and folk-rock pedigree (The Impacts, Fapardokly) evolved into something stranger and more visionary, making "Things! " a cult classic among garage-psych collectors and psychedelic historians alike. Whether you're a crate-digger, lysergic listener, or new to the psych-pop underground, this epysode is a front-row seat to the making of a lost masterpiece. I hope you dig "Things!" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1iWlPhXKF0MZB7xMGUpjQB?si=cf7688c8e1a9444b JOHN KONGOS "He's Gonna Step On You Again" THE IMPACTS “Revellion” THE IMPACTS “Wipe Out" MERRELL & THE EXILES “Can't We Get Along” MERRELL & THE EXILES “Run Baby Run” MERRELL & THE EXILES “Tomorrow's Girl” FAPARDOKLY “Mr. Clock” FAPARDOKLY “Lila” FAPARDOKLY “Gone To Pot” MERRELL FANKHAUSER & H.M.S.

EPYSODE 59: "Kongos" by John Kongos. Guest: John Kongos. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we drop the needle on "Kongos", the 1972 cult-favourite album that fused glam rock, African rhythms, early sampling, and psychedelic textures long before such mashups became the norm. With exclusive commentary from John Kongos, we explore the bold studio experimentation behind tracks like “He's Gonna Step on You Again”, a UK Top 5 hit that famously used tape loops and tribal drums, influencing artists from Happy Mondays to U2. Kongos shares firsthand stories about working with producer Gus Dudgeon (Elton John), the intense sessions at Trident Studios, and how the album's futuristic sound puzzled critics but built a cult following that still grows today. This is a deep-dive into one of the most forward-thinking albums of the era...one that sounds as vital now as it did over 50 years ago. I hope you dig "Kongos" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/03Hc0ElOSr7zerfpLArswj?si=0c7745a5dafb4a61 WILLIE NILE "Vagabond Moon" TOMMY STEELE “Rock With The Caveman” CHET ATKINS “Mr. Sandman” ARTISTS AGAINST APARTHEID “Sun City” THE G-MEN “Campbell's Rock” *JOHNNY KONGOS & THE G-MEN “Cruel Sea” JOHNNY KONGOS & THE G-MEN “It's All Over Now” JOHNNY KONGOS “Little Boy Cryin'” JOHN T.

Near-Death experiences, demon-possessed cars, miraculous lottery wins, and miracles that seem absolutely unbelievable – this week on the show I'm by Dr. John Sottosanti, an atheist surgeon, to tell his outrageous conversion to Catholicism and a deeper faith in Christ. Raised nominally Catholic, John drifted away from the faith an into a successful dental practice but was hounded – haunted, even – by the Catholicism of his childhood. Confronted, again and again, by the most incredible miracles this is the story of the "Hound of Heaven," and His pursuit of even the one lost sheep – until he came back into the fold. This is such an amazing story.

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have identified olivine-bearing clasts from lunar regolith collected by the Chang'e 6 mission. These relics, believed to be carbonaceous chondrites, offer critical information about the formation and evolution of planets. The findings suggest that the Moon serves as a pristine archive for meteorites, with implications for understanding the origins of lunar water and organic materials.Interstellar Comet 3I ATLAS: Insights into Alien Solar SystemsThe interstellar comet 3I ATLAS is revealing fascinating details about the composition of other solar systems. New observations indicate that 3I ATLAS has been active longer than expected, releasing various molecules as it travels through our solar system. This segment discusses how the comet's behavior challenges existing assumptions about comet activity and provides clues about the materials present in distant star systems.SpaceX's Starship Mega Rocket Test FlightSpaceX has successfully completed its 11th test flight of the Starship Mega rocket, demonstrating significant advancements in its design and capabilities. The mission involved various maneuvers, including hot staging and payload deployment, as well as tests of the spacecraft's reentry and landing procedures.

EPYSODE 58: "Willie Nile", by Willie Nile. Guest: Willie Nile. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we spotlight the electric, poetic debut of Willie Nile, whose 1980 self-titled album emerged straight from the streets of New York's post-punk underground and instantly drew comparisons to Dylan, Springsteen, and Lou Reed. With exclusive commentary from Willie himself, we revisit the making of this cult classic, recorded in the heart of Manhattan during a time when punk grit met folk wisdom. From the raw energy of “Vagabond Moon” to the street-lit soul of “That's the Reason,” Nile reflects on the scenes and sounds that shaped his early songs. Discovered by Clive Davis and praised by The Who, this album remains a landmark for fans of literate rock 'n' roll. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or dropping the needle again, this epysode captures the urgency and charm of an artist who's never stopped chasing truth through song. Spoiler alert: he's still going strong. His newest album may be his best... I hope you dig "Willie Nile" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check Willie's website for merch, tour info, newsletters and more: https://www.willienile.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured :  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2sQoDlLmDaWVwdl09nL5k4?si=cb13ab47c0ee49f1 QUILL "Thumbnail Screwdriver" WILLIE NILE "God Laughs" WILLIE NILE "Life On Bleecker Street" BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS “Peggy Sue” THE BEATLES “I Want To Hold Your Hand” THE WHO “Can't Explain” TELEVISION “Marquee Moon” TALKING HEADS “Psycho Killer” ROBERT PALMER “Addicted To Love” WILLIE NILE "Vagabond Moon" WILLIE NILE "Dear Lord" WILLIE NILE "It's All Over" WILLIE NILE "Across The River" THE ROLLING STONES “Shattered” THE ROLLING STONES “She's So Cold” WILLIE NILE "She's So Cold" PATTI SMITH GROUP “Because The Night” WILLIE NILE "I'm Not Waiting" WILLIE NILE "That's The Reason" WILLIE NILE "They'll Build A Statue Of You" WILLIE NILE "Old Men Sleeping On The Bowery" WILLIE NILE "Behind The Cathedral" WILLIE NILE "Sing Me A Song" WILLIE NILE “I Like The Way” WILLIE NILE “Rite Of Spring” WILLIE NILE “Heaven Help The Lonely” WILLIE NILE “Streets Of New York” WILLIE NILE “Children Of Paradise” WILLIE NILE “An Irish Goodbye” WILLIE NILE “One Guitar” ??MYSTERY ARTIST??

EPYSODE 57: "Quill" by Quill. Guest: Quill band member Phil Thayer. Additional commentary from Uncle Herff. This week we spin the self-titled 1970 debut album by Quill, the Boston-based psychedelic rock band best known for opening day 2 of Woodstock and then seemingly vanishing into the mist of rock history. Featuring exclusive commentary from Phil Thayer, Quill's multi-instrumentalist, we dive into the stories behind the band's brief but electric rise, their unique fusion of psych, prog, and theatrical performance, and why their album never got the recognition it deserved...despite being on a major label. Whether you're a crate-digging psych-rock obsessive or discovering Quill for the first time, this deep dive is your backstage pass into one of rock's most fascinating "what could've been" stories.

What is the connection between relics and mysticism? In this episode, we look at how relics have played an important role throughout church history, including the relics of well-known mystics. Mysticism joins the heavenly realm with the earthly realm, and we find that relics can do the same.

10/16/25 - Journey with us to the historic Our Lady of Martyrs Shrine in Auriesville, New York, a sacred site where the blood of the North American Martyrs, including St. Isaac Jogues, St. René Goupil, and St. Jean de Lalande, consecrated the land to Christ. With the help of Bill Baaki, a member of the Shrine's Board of Directors, we'll explore the remarkable history of this holy place, its connection to early missionary work in North America, and its role in the conversion of St. Kateri Tekakwitha. This weekend, the shrine will host a powerful event featuring the exposition of sacred relics and a 7-mile Eucharistic procession that invites the faithful to deepen their devotion and bear public witness to the Real Presence. Whether you're a local pilgrim or discovering this shrine for the first time, today's show will inspire you to encounter Christ in a place where faith was tested, proven, and forever remembered.

EPYSODE 55: "Argus" by Wishbone Ash. Guest: Wishbone Ash band leader Andy Powell. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we revisit "Argus", the landmark third album by Wishbone Ash. Widely regarded as one of the greatest classic rock albums of all time, it defined the twin-lead guitar sound and blended progressive rock, hard rock, and folk influences into a timeless masterpiece. With exclusive commentary from guitarist Andy Powell, we explore the creative process behind the album, the band's unique dual-guitar harmonies, and how this record earned its place as Melody Maker's Album of the Year in 1972. From “The King Will Come” to “Blowin' Free,” discover the stories and legacy behind one of the most influential rock records of the '70s. I hope you dig "Argus" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here @VinylRelicsPod Email me here @ ⁠farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com⁠ ===LINKS=== Check out the Wishbone Ash website for sweet merch, upcoming gigs and more: https://www.wishboneashofficial.com   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dvd2t0Lt8pTc0wwjJUVx0?si=96728248d6c24ec7 TROYKA "Dear Margaret" CHUCK BERRY “No Particular Place To Go" THE SHADOWS “Apache” SAM & DAVE “Hold On, I'm Coming” *THE EMPTY VESSELS “My Son John” THE POLICE “Roxanne” FLEETWOOD MAC “Oh Well (Part 1)” THE BEATLES “Martha My Dear” DEEP PURPLE “Hush” ERIC WEISSBERG & STEVE MANDELL “Duelling Banjos” THE WHO “Won't Get Fooled Again” WISHBONE ASH “Errors Of My Way” WISHBONE ASH “Blind Eye” WISHBONE ASH “The Pilgrim” WISHBONE ASH “Valediction” WISHBONE ASH "Time Was" WISHBONE ASH "Sometime World" WISHBONE ASH "Blowin' Free" WISHBONE ASH ''The King Will Come" WISHBONE ASH "Leaf And Stream" WISHBONE ASH "Warrior" WISHBONE ASH "Throw Down The Sword" DAVID BOWIE “Ziggy Stardust” WISHBONE ASH “Jail Bait” (live) WISHBONE ASH “Everybody Needs A Friend” WISHBONE ASH “Sorrel” HOME “Time Passes By” WISHBONE ASH “Persephone” WISHBONE ASH “The Ring” WISHBONE ASH “Back In The Day” ??MYSTERY ARTIST??

In episode 315 of DCP - Mike, Dennis & James talk about "Relics Of The Past”. As they share their experience,strength & hope with you in their journey of recovery.

It's been a while, but one of our favorite semi-regular guests is back! Bangkok Podcast's official Buddhist correspondent, Phra Pandit, welcomed Greg at his temple to talk about amulets, talismans, and Buddhist relics - and what ties them all together. The burning question Greg had was - if seemingly every third temple claims to have a piece of Buddha's body - what exactly happened to the poor guy when he died? Phra Pandit explains the history behind the idea of Buddhist relics and what Buddha said about them, as well as their link to Sri Lanka and how a wooden mannequin brought to life kicked the whole thing off. Greg and Phra Pandit also dive into the topic of amulets and talismans, including the famous Jatukham craze of 2006, and discuss what - if anything - makes one amulet worth more than another one. Does it make them more effective? Do people act differently if they think they're more effective? They finish with a fascinating discussion about how stories and tokens can be a powerful tool in helping us solidify and understand abstract concepts such as marriage, death, and even architecture! As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.  

The structural and symbolic purposes of ruins in literary texts have a long history, yet few scholars explore their importance within J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. From the ruins of Erebor and the relics of Gondolin appearing in The Hobbit to the various images of Amon Sûl, Moria, and Osgiliath in The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien constructs a distinct mood-one that captures characters' awareness of the glories of the past and a desire to emulate them. The scholars who do engage Tolkien's relics and ruins tend to limit the scope to Tolkien's debt to the Middle Ages. While such scholarship begins important conversations, the full story of Tolkien's relics and ruins is left untold. Tolkien's Medievalism in Ruins: The Function of Relics and Ruins in Middle-earth (Bloomsbury, 2025) takes corrective action and expands this historical and critical literary scope.

Barraclough interprets objects like reliquaries, initially used in Christian contexts to house relics. Norse raiders took these back to Norway, valuing the metal and jewels while often discarding the relics inside. These reliquaries were given as presents to women and passed down female generations, suggesting early raids were motivated by young men seeking wealth and status to attract wives and set up farmsteads. The conversation also covers pre-Christian belief systems, specifically a piece of human skull found in Denmark (Ribe, early 8th century) with runes carved on it. This object may have been an amulet intended to protect against malevolent supernatural beings like dwarves or elves, which were believed to cause sickness. 1904 VIKING AGE

“Is Faith a Gift or a Choice?” This episode explores the intersection of faith and popular culture, while also addressing questions about the power of relics in 2 Kings 13:21, the implications of AI-generated art, and the complexities of faith as a gift. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on these diverse topics. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:20 – Is Billy Batson sinning by using the powers of Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury? 06:43 – Do you think 2 Kings 13:21 could be used as proof for the power of relics? 10:00 – In a past AMA, you said that if someone were assimilated by the Borg, the state of their soul adjacent to confession would remain unchanged. If someone were assimilated, could they conceivably receive the anointing of the sick? 15:57 – Can AI generated images be considered art? 21:44 – If faith is a gift, how can someone be culpable for not having faith? 29:06 – As it pertains to the dating of the Gospel of John, I think there’s good internal evidence that it’s written before 70 AD, but I’ve heard people say that Irenaeus teaches that it’s dated in the 90-95 AD range. Is there any perspective out there that can hold that both Irenaeus is correct, and a pre-70 AD Gospel of John is correct? (For example, are people just misreading Irenaeus to make it seem like he’s saying it’s in the 90s but in reality he might not even be saying that?) 37:53 – Why is Catholicism a better option than Oriental Orthodoxy? 45:55 – As a Protestant converting to Catholicism, what duty does one have to inform family, friends, and former pastors/church members of one's conversion to Catholicism? How should conversation be done? Any advice? Thanks! 52:42 – Has Catholic Answers thought of making a list of the De Fide statement found in Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma? I know this is a resource used by Catholic Answers and it would be great to have a bullet point list

Joe responds to objections raised in a conversation between Vlad Savchuk, Isaiah Saldivar and Mike Signorelli about relics in the Catholic Church. Transcript: Joe: Even if the entire cross of Jesus was discovered intact, there would be no spiritual value to it. CLIP: I’ve never heard a Protestant just say, the cross is worthless like the cross. If you found it tomorrow fully intact and you knew it was the true cross, it is of no spiritual value. And that strikes me as just so outrageously un-Christian of an attitude to have. Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and...
