“‘þe best boke of roumaunce': Form and Meaning in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” a lecture by Dr. Amy Fahey at Thomas Aquinas College, New England, on September 20, 2025

We're diving deep into the realities of interracial relationships — the highs, the hurdles, and the healing that can come from love across cultural lines. Meet Dassin and Stephanie Blackwell who are quite reflective on their relationship and the privileges they have and the challenges they have faced as an interracial couple. With genuineness and awareness, they share their obstacles they have navigated within their family system and greater society. Join us as we talk about the beauty of blending different worlds; navigating identity, assumptions, and unconscious bias; what makes these relationships not just possible, but powerful. Whether you're in an interracial relationship, curious about the dynamics, or just open to hearing honest perspectives, you will learn and be inspired to embrace diversity.

Currently, I serve as the Assistant Director of Athletics Compliance and Director of Sprint Football Operations at St. Thomas Aquinas College, where I lead academic support, NCAA eligibility, and holistic development for more than 450 student-athletes. My foundation in athletics began on the field as a student-athlete at Towson University. That moment not only defined my playing career, but also deepened my belief in the transformative power of sport. As a coach for 20 years, I had the privilege of being part of two conference championship teams and coached for a national championship, helping student-athletes achieve success at the highest levels both on and off the field. Throughout my career, I've held leadership roles at institutions including Georgetown, Towson, Pace, Hofstra, Frostburg State, Iona University. My work has included everything from managing NCAA compliance and GSR reporting to implementing department-wide systems like SPRY and mentoring first-generation student-athletes. I earned my Ph.D. in Educational Management from Hampton University, and my passion lies in bridging the worlds of athletics and education.

Opening lecture at Thomas Aquinas College, California, for 2025-26: "Why Do We Need Questions," by Dr. Sean Collins

Dr. Sean Cunningham's opening lecture for the 2025-26 Academic Year at Thomas Aquinas College, New England: “Liberal Education and its Rivals”

Fr. Francisco Nahoe, OFM Conv. has served the Church and the Franciscan Order in Catholic education, campus ministry, parochial ministry and catechesis. He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory. In Today's Show: What's your personal favorite “saint story” or one that always makes you smile or inspires you in a lighthearted way? If cell phones are an occasion of sin, can a priest not absolve the penitent for owning a cell phone? How do I approach God after falling into mortal sin and feeling shame? ​In the Our Father, it says to “forgive those who trespass against us.” But what if the person that trespassed against us is not sorry or asking to be forgiven? In traditional theology, how active are angels and demons in the life of a practicing Catholic? Is spiritual attack something ordinary Catholics should be on guard against? Would it be possible to implement "digital sacraments" if the Pope allowed it? Is there any truth to the phrase that the road to hell is paved with good intentions? What's the theological significance of the Offertory prayers in the Traditional Latin Mass, especially the Suscipe, Sancte Pater and the Oblationem prayer? How do these differ in spirit and substance from the Offertory in the Novus Ordo Missae, and why did some traditional theologians see the post-1969 changes as a shift in sacrificial emphasis?

He is a chaplain at Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula, California and focuses his scholarly efforts on Renaissance rhetoric and Polynesian ethnohistory. In Today's Show: Why is God going to kill Moses according to Exodus 4:24-26? Recovering scattered ashes of a cremated family member for proper burial Can we offer Holy Communion for the conversion and salvation of a friend? There are no traditional Latin Masses in my diocese anymore. Without going into too much detail, the only nearby parish uses inclusive language, lay preaching, and abuses the liturgy regularly. Am I still obligated to attend Mass there on Sundays, or would it be spiritually harmful (even potentially scandalous) to do so? How many prayers are required to free someone from purgatory? Also, does sprinkling holy water on the ground release them according to popular belief? Canon 1250 says Fridays are penitential days, and 1251 says abstinence (not penance) is dispensed on a solemnity. So, tomorrow it's legally permissible to eat meat, but is some penance still required? When we pray the rosary and dedicate a mystery to someone, how are we to focus our intention; solely on the mystery? Are we straying if we focus too much on the person we are praying for? Might Father have recommendations or advice on how to study, particularly the writings of St. Thomas and things regarding the faith and philosophy? What's your view on proper dress at Mass? Our parish is very casual, but I've heard modesty is especially important in traditional circles. And, what would be considered proper dress? (FUNNY STORY!)

He was raised Catholic, but he and his fiancé have decided not to marry in the church. The ceremony is at the venue and will be officiated by someone who works for the venue. Is it okay for us to attend the wedding? I'd like some detailed direction regarding what a rule of life should look like for a husband/father, especially a beginner, and how to get the family (spouse and children) to start praying and reading as well. Is it possible for celibacy to attract the wrong type of men, such as those with disordered sexual inclinations? What is synodality? What are some of your favorite works of literature and what would you recommend that every Catholic should read in terms of Catholic and non-Catholic literature? Differences in translations of Psalm 78:1 My mother and I have different opinions on why Jesus was sent down to Earth. She says it was to see if man could follow the Ten Commandments, and I say it was to gather up all the sinners and bring them back to God. What is the church's stance on this? Are we both wrong, both right, or a mix of the two?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
