The Feast of the Assumption always denotes the ending of summer and the fact that fall will start soon, but it also is a pivot point for many Protestants considering conversion to Catholicism. Bo and Bud talk about the factors that made the Assumption of Mary not only "make sense" from an Apologetics stand point, but grounded Catholicism both in th…

What does it means to do history rather than just read history? Bo comes up with a t-shirt pithy aphorism, Bud double and triple checks whether it makes any sense, and we are off to the races talking about history, eye witness accounts, means of communication in terms of how we understand past events, and yes...John Henry Newman on the illative sen…

Undoubtedly you have heard of the French fiasco in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. How are Christians to process this event? We try to get underneath the surface level political tensions and ask about the nature of art and imagery, interpretation, etc., and ask ourselves whether Christians should be offended by mockery, or if they s…

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…

It's a touchy subject, but it is right in our wheelhouse, so we need to comment: What's the deal with A.I. Chatbot Priests? We take on the controversy regarding Catholic Answer's "Fr. Justin" AI Chatbot, try to suss out why the response was as swift and heavy (and almost in complete unity!), and hopefully point to learning moments we can all share …

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? Is that different than the "masters" of old? Do they both have their place in society? With a Faith like ours that believes in the Master/Disciple relationship, what ramifications does that …

It's Eastertide friends! We hope you are doing your job and having as much mirth and joy as possible!

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. We dive into the full implications of the Sabbath, how at the end of our lives we enter into a Sabbath …

This one is a wild rollercoaster of Theological Cultural commentary! We start with an article that points out the resurgence of Occult and "Pagan" worship in formerly very Catholic Italy, take a detour through the tidal shifts throughout history of devotion vs. regression of belief, move on to why in a consumerist world people might think all of th…
