Catholicism in the Car

I'm Back! Figured I would get back into making episodes. I give some explanation as to the reasons for my hiatus.

This was a talk I gave for the Solanus Casey Vocation Society in the Diocese of Fort Wayne - South Bend (Indiana, USA) on May 5th, 2023. It was on the topic of my vocational journey. The Solanus Casey Society supported me so much via their prayers and other means during my vocational journey.

Original Video here: https://youtu.be/ukkKOfq7bFc Can an Atheist agree to a Catholic system of morality? In this episode, I argue "Yes! Why not?"

In this episode I give my opinions regarding the Liturgy Wars within the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church (the Traditional Latin Mass vs. the Novus Ordo). The Traditional Latin Mass currently in use is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1962." The Novus Ordo is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1969."

In this episode we discuss Metaphysical Realism and Nominalism, and how they effect our world and thought today. www.catholicisminthecar.com

In this video, we discuss the topic of Symbolism, and what importance symbols have in our lives -- especially as regards the liturgy.   Here is the EWTN interview which I reference:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2VDTUMBNXQ&t=35s&ab_channel=EWTN

For that matter, can the Byzantine, Coptic, Ambrosian, Dominican, etc. Rites by abrogated?  This is an underlying premise that is assumed in the question "Can the TLM be abrogated?"  It is a necessary question to be asked, and it's propositions need to be...
