Catholicism in the Car

This episode gives my analysis of the state of the question as regards the Traditional Latin Mass: Can the Pope abrogate the TLM? Is the Novus Ordo Missae a continuation of the Roman Rite?  These questions, and more, are valuable parts of this episode.  I also mention my social media discussions with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Mr. Gregory DiPippo.   I hope to do a "remake" of this episode when I am...

Original Video found here: https://youtu.be/WqL5NxWNq6I Please SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel! It helps us so much to get this content to others! This video is my initial one regarding the "liturgy wars." I am relatively new to these particular discussions, but am attempting to remedy some of the unnecessary conflict involved therein.  I have been hesitant to make a video on this topic, lest it...

In this episode we discuss the metaphysical and physical question: Are Jesus and Mary's physical bodies (as they ascended or were assumed) in Heaven? By "Heaven" here, I mean that interim-state between when we die and when we are resurrected on the last day.  I give reference to Duns Scotus' and Bonaventure's answers to this question, as well as give some thoughts of my own. www.catholicismin...

I apologize again for the background noise in this episode. My new commute to work has me taking the interstate, which greatly increases the amount of background noise. This episode examines what aspects Christians can be agnostic (or say "I dont know") about. I also take up some interesting questions regarding our physical bodies, corruptionism, the bodies of Jesus and Mary, etc. www.catholicismi...

I apologize for the particularly bad background noise in this episode. I tried my best to remove all the noise, but could only do so much. In this episode I discuss Evolution and Creationism. www.catholicisminthecar.com

On the Theological Virtue of Love

In this episode, we discuss the theological virtue of Hope. www.catholicisminthecar.com

This episode examines the question of Animal Natures. What is an animal? How are the beasts different from humans? Can animals feel pain? Do animals have self-awareness or self-consciousness? We discuss these questions and more. If you are wondering about my claim that people could not eat meat before the great flood, and how God gave Noah and his descendants permission to eat meat after said floo...

What is Faith? This episode begins a mini-series of episodes on the Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love. In this episode, we discuss the various definitions of "Faith" which are used in common culture, Holy Scripture, and the Church's teachings. I want to thank Dr. Darrick Taylor with the "Controversies in Church History" podcast for alerting me to some housekeeping issues regarding this...

In this short episode, I give some resources for people interested in finding and reading Blessed John Duns Scotus' "Ordinatio." www.catholicisminthecar.com

In this episode, I give my reflections on how it feels to begin reading through the Ordinatio of Blessed John Duns Scotus. I also give an overview of how I make audiobooks from text files, which aid me greatly in reading through material. www.catholicisminthecar.com

In this episode, we continue the discussion from episode #121 on Scripture Wars and Apologetics, but attempt to give an overview of this topic as relates the three (3) main Christian groups: Catholics (Eastern and Western), Orthodox (Eastern and Oriental) and Protestants (Various).

In this episode, I discuss some of my thoughts on apologetics (giving a defense for one's faith), and how to do this "irenically" (peacefully). I also give some brief remarks regarding Dr. Gavin Ortlund. Gavin is a Baptist Minister who holds his doctorate in Historical Theology. He has had a presence on YouTube for quite awhile, often doing irenic apologetics applicable to inter-Christian dialogue...

In this episode, I am giving some reflections inspired by an amazing homily spoken by my bishop, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, on the importance of upholding doctrine.

In this episode, we continue our discussion on human nature (see Ep. 118 for the previous part) by focusing particularly on our bodies. The Catholic Church takes a very robust view regarding the material nature of the human being, which I attempt to lay out in this episode. www.catholicisminthecar.com

In this episode we discuss my view of human nature, and specifically the relationship between the soul and the body. The council of Vienne defined that the soul is "the form of the body." The 5th Lateran Council clarified the above definition and said that the soul is the form of the body, but that it is also "immortal."

In this episode, we discuss the theory/theories to create a perfect society, namely: Utopianism.

In this episode, which is the last of our 'social issues' series, we discuss the topic of transhumanism. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Website: www.catholicisminthecar.com If you wish to SUPPORT our work, you can visit: https://www.catholicisminthecar.com/support Podpage: https://www.podpage.com/cat...

In this episode, we discuss the social issue of Transgenderism, and how it is perceived by the Catholic Church. We also look at some of the philosophical inderpinnings of transgenderism.

How does our sexuality point towards what we are? In this episode, we discuss how the Catholic Church is utterly consistent in its teachings on human sexuality.

In this episode we discuss the social issue of Homosexuality. NOTE: While it is (strictly-speaking) not sinful for two persons of the same sex to live together, as long as they do not act out sexually with each other -- even if they had been in an erotic relationship previously -- it very well may be the "near occasion of sin." In which case, it would not be PRUDENT for the two persons to live und...

This episode examines the social issue of both contraceptives and birth control.

In this episode, we discuss how the issues of contraception and abortion relate to this issue of divorce and remarriage. We also discuss two of the most important aspects of a solid marriage (besides the love that binds them together): 1.) The children born of said loving union and 2.) the integrity of the marriage vows.

This is the first of two episodes on divorce and remarriage in our social issues series. This subject is our first in the sub-topic of social issues regarding sexuality. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Website: www.catholicisminthecar.com If you wish to SUPPORT our work, you can visit: https://www.cat...
