The Catholic Experience - The Case for 'Catholic Communion

The Case for 'Catholic Communion

11/24/24 • 37 min

The case I would make to protestants, or Catholics who don't believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.

This is not my attempt to change minds, but only to give the listener some information to consider. Whether you're a Catholic questioning the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, a Protestant who denies or rejects the Catholic belief about the Holy Eucharist, or someone just keen on deep theological discussions on the topic, I offer some insights in this episode that you'll find thought-provoking. From examining the biblical basis of the Real Presence to addressing common Protestant misconceptions, I provide a robust defense rooted in Scripture and early Church teachings.

Bible Matters

In this episode I start out with a special announcement, introducing two new exciting short-form podcast projects focused on scripture. One project targets adults with in-depth reflections and historical context, while the other caters to children, presenting Bible stories with interactive discussions for parents and kids.

Both podcasts will be newsletter-exclusive (Sign Up Here!), and the one geared toward adults will start rolling out this week .

Then a shocker opens the main segment as I state "God isn't 'love' " I explain that scripture is not just a revelation of facts and moral principals but as a revelation of God's character and nature, emphasizing that God's love is purposeful and heartfelt, not automatic like an AI chat bot.

The Curious Case of Fr. Carlos Martins (and Catholic Media Integrity)

In this special episode I dive into the case of Father Carlos Martins, a well-known priest and exorcist, who is currently under investigation for alleged inappropriate conduct involving minors during a St. Jude Relic tour in Illinois. I discusses the investigation, how it broke, how it developed, and the subsequent media narrative, and use the opportunity to question the integrity of some in Catholic media, especially independent sources like The Pillar. The episode also covers reactions from various quarters, including a strange tweet from Mel Gibson and comments on the reporting methods of different Catholic news outlets. Be careful about rushing to judgment.
