Deep Dives with Fr Sean: the Super Catholic Catechesis Podcast

Send us Fan Mail This is a reality that bludgeon's the poor Spouse of Christ, the Church.  It is super ruinous of so many poor souls, and it will be a lesson for future generations.  It may not be ravaging larger cities, but it is destroying the smaller ones.  Please God save us, just as you saved one particular man.

Send us Fan Mail We've been getting deep into what it means for us to be Priest, Prophet, and King, though we haven't yet talked about the kingship!  Here we go!

Send us Fan Mail Again, another great Episode, I love this stuff! Jesus is the new and better Moses, and fulfills all that came from beore.  A prophet speaks the truth based on the strength of his relationship with God, and that's exactly what Jesus does, and what we should do too!

Send us Fan Mail This is such good stuff!  We go deep into Scripture, and that takes a while.  But the beauty of seeing the Old Testament be fulfilled in the New Testament is worth it! Then we see how it is lived out by the church in her liturgical prayer and the sacraments, and then how it affects all believers.

Send us Fan Mail Here's what we covered! (I didn't mention it, but Bible in a Year has been a game changer for many) Lectio Divina: 1) Reading 2) Meditation 3) Prayer 4) Contemplation 5) Action/Resolution You can also read through Scripture and pause when your heart is warmed. You can pray as a group, reading it aloud, meditating in silence, and sharing anything that jumps out to you. It...

Send us Fan Mail We start a new series here.  This I think will be super helpful for a lot of people. The Bible was written with a lot of genres and by a lot of people, but it was 100% and 100% divine.  It has it's historical reasons of being written, but it also has the ultimate purpose of having eternal life through faith in Jesus. The Old Testament was written in a complex way that is hard...

Send us Fan Mail This Podcast dives into the message of the principle Marian apparitions.  We look at Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Lourdes, and Our Lady of Fatima. Each one of these is unique, but they share a common destination for the message: the whole world.  Mary is sent to us with her maternal concern for her children, to win them back to a loving Father.

Send us Fan Mail Here we talk about some things about Marian Apparitions: 1) They're usually addressed to God's littlest people. 2) Bishop and/or Vatican approval is significant. 3) There is usually persecution involved. 4) Some of the key ones are -Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, Wisconsin -Our Lady of Fatima -Our Lady of Lourdes

Send us Fan Mail We hit on a lot of topics here.  That's all I'm going to say!

Send us Fan Mail I dive in quickly here to address some challenges: The big moral challenge: acedia Some cultural challenges that are in our minds: 1) "Only Jesus matters" 2) Mixed up role of the sacraments  3) "Everyone goes to heaven."

Send us Fan Mail Hello everyone!  I've got some of my pastoral theory lined up here, some of my plans for the future for my pastoral leadership.  I have three categories: 1) Proclaiming the Basic Gospel Message: part of this is establishing a solid landing pad of beautiful church's worthy of God, hospitable people and a community devoted to fellowship.  Then, we train people to give the...

Send us Fan Mail The Church was founded upon the apostles and continues to be supported by the successors of the apostles.  Discover the biblical support for these claims.

Send us Fan Mail The Church is Catholic, which means: 1) universally spread through the whole globe. 2) It is teaches the whole of what teach taught and gave us 3) It is for the healing of all spiritual ills universally. 4) It calls together all classes of people 5) It spreads out through all time

Send us Fan Mail Check this out.  Read the catechism for more sweet information on the holiness of the Church.  Remember, the holiness comes from God.  Us members may or may not be such great representatives of the Church, especially in its holiness.

Send us Fan Mail Check out what we mean by the unity of the Church?  Do you wish the church was more united?  Me too.  That's why this episode is for you! We talk about the Trinitarian foundations of the Unity We talk about the dangers of unity: sins against charity which wound it and violations of its structure which break it. We talk about how we related with other non-Catholic churches, al...

Send us Fan Mail Here we take a systematic approach Some initial reflections from St. John Henry Newman open our minds to the human necessity for some authoritative source outside of the self. Then we look at the Old Testament.  When we look at the NT, we take a few clear steps 1) Jesus is the one with absolute authority 2) Yet he recognizes the authenticity of man-made religious authority and res...

Send us Fan Mail This is good stuff.  Check out Lumen Gentium for more info.   You can just google it and find it at the vatican website! We talk about the Church comes from the unity of God and is a sign and instrument of that unity in the world.  Therefore we call the church a "sacrament," a sign and instrument. The church of Christ, both the invisible and the visible part, subsists (o...

Send us Fan Mail Here we go!  We dive right in. Vatican I finds its context in the supposed Era of "Enlightenment" when reason was separated from faith, leading to all the "isms": materialism, liberalism, communism, etc.  It can be summarized in calling it modernism.  The Church was put on defense and condemned these ideas.  In Vatican I, papal infallability was clarified to gi...

Send us Fan Mail This covers a lot of territory, but it's just good background to hear.

Send us Fan Mail Our series shifts to a more historical lends, just so we can get a bit of the flavor of the Church as she actually is.  There are some great, heroic stories from these early days!

Send us Fan Mail We hit on a ton of themes here, but it's all very important stuff.  It's definitely not systematic, but I think you'll see the beauty in how they understand the Church and see some of the images and examples they utilize.

Send us Fan Mail A little long, sorry!  But perhaps even better than the previous one. We walk through the Gospel, Acts of the Apostles, and St. Paul.  This is good theological stuff.
