BONUS: A Catholic Response to Pride Month

I felt it was important to record this video. This is airing in the middle of Pride Month, and Catholics need to have the courage to stand up for Church teaching and state that they cannot support Pride Month.

Now to be clear: the Church does NOT say we should hate people who experience same-sex attraction. It DOES say that we ought to treat them with respect and compassion. But that does NOT mean we can say their actions themselves are properly ordered.

So first we’re going to take a quick look at what the Catechism actually says about this topic. Then I’ll offer you some hope by showing you messages from bishops who are publicly taking a stance for the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexuality.

Sex, God, Beauty, and Theology of the Body w/ Christopher West

In this episode, Christopher West of the Theology of the Body Institute comes on the show to chat about Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, and a whole lot more — from Descartes to coffee addiction!

We sit back and let the conversation flow about all kinds of things, including:

– How a philosopher who died over 350 years ago is affecting how we think about sex and our bodies
– The real meanings of hot-button words (do you know where the word “gender” comes from?)
– Why you need to open up your messy life to God and what happens if you don’t
– Where to find the marriage imagery in the Bible
– Where the Church is headed and how to live with hope in a post-Christian world

Top off your glass, sit back and relax with us! (Warning: occasional “spicy” language!)

Why The Papacy Is Biblical w/ Suan Sonna

What can the Bible tell us about the papacy? A lot, actually.

That’s what I talk about today with my guest Suan Sonna, a philosophy student at Kansas State University, a Catholic convert, and founder of “Intellectual Conservatism” on YouTube.

So, top off your glass and listen as he lays out a fascinating argument that answers the questions:
– Did Jesus intend to make Peter a pope?
– Did the first Christians believe they had a pope?
– Where does the Old Testament talk about the papacy?
– What is “living memory” and what can it tell us about the first popes?
