The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, but the fact that it is a body means a lot. On one hand, no principle of Catholic Social Teaching stands except that it rest of the foundation of the "brute reality" of the Church. On the other, the members of the Faith become worldly, even in their best intentions, unless they rest their efforts on the fa…

PJ McManus- Catholic Women Now with Chris Ma…

Reflecting on Leadership in a Christian Key once again, we take on the injection of St. Paul to boast in our weakness, by which the strength of the Lord is shown. But what does that look like practically? And how might we form young Catholic Leaders in this principle when so much of leadership studies seems to focus on strengths? We ponder all this…

We take a somewhat crazy Tweet about expertise in biblical translation and try to get at the root of a big debate: should you trust experts? What is an expert?

Continuing the theme from Part 1, we talk about how the goal of Lent leading into the Holy Triduum of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday and then the glory of Easter is a long practice of learning to engage in rest as perfect activity.

On this episode we consider Jesus's description as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and realize that the "counterfeits" of these truths too often sold to folks are a notion of the spiritual life as a Checklist, done for the sake of a Certainty, in hopes of a Jackpot, all of which never come. More fun is had than the title suggests--there's even si…
