A Catholic Priest Talks About

A Catholic Priest Talks About

Father Jack

You want to learn about the Catholic Faith, and want to be sure it's accurate. You have questions that haven't been answered, or you've always wanted to ask a priest something, but it slips your mind, or it seems obvious or inappropriate. You're willing to learn, but you might need to do it on your own time. This podcast aims to teach about the Catholic Faith, from Sacred Scripture, Church Teaching, Tradition, history, saints, and honest reasoning. Fr. Jack is a Roman Catholic priest who will sit down to answer questions, share some perspective, and explain particular points of the Faith. He's a New York native, who tries to go long enough to cover what matters, be interesting enough to teach something, and quick enough to get out before you get too bored. Episodes uploaded in bunches, based on your questions, your reminders, Father's timing, and his (limited) self-discipline. Email questions, thoughts or requested topics to [email protected].

play

09/26/20 • 23 min

We look at the phrase 'the Communion of Saints' as it appears in the Nicene Creed. We examine how Saint Paul refers to all believers as saints, and how that phrase still refers to the community of all believers. We also see how our actions and personal choices matter to others, and how to change the world, to stop systems of injustice or sin, we need to start by changing ourselves. We finish with a look at the Church Militant, Church Suffering and Church Triumphant, and how we can relate to saints.

A Catholic Priest Talks About - The Inner Ring

The Inner Ring

A Catholic Priest Talks About

play

09/19/20 • 17 min

We examine C.S. Lewis’ essay, “The Inner Ring.” We then develop some of the themes of wanting to fit in. We see how some groups are worth belonging to, and some are not. We see how those Inner Rings are unavoidable, and can even be good. Other times, whether in families, friends, education or employment, being ‘in the know’ is a dangerous thing, and doesn’t help us, or others. It can be about excluding others, and then we can never be happy, since there is always another level. It can also tempt us, because of Pride, to lose our souls. When we join an Inner Ring out of genuine love of the people, or because we like the task at hand, we find peace, and it helps us grow in God’s grace.
