  • Excellent content

    This is the best podcast on religion that I know of. Dr. David Anders is not only deeply learned and extremely intelligent and articulate in describing and defending the teachings of the Church, but he also shows, over and over, that he is a kind hearted person who lives the Gospel in his own life. When a caller is clearly worried or upset he is very solicitous and comforting. I have never heard him lose patience with any caller or question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr Anders on Sola Scriptura
Q: How is the real presence explained in the Mass?
The real presence refers to Christ fully present in the Eucharist now, not a time-traveled or cross-era presence, encompassing body, blood, soul, and divinity—united with the glorified Christ.
Ecclesial Consumerism
Q: Is it allowed for a recovering alcoholic to receive the chalice, and what precautions are advised?
Acknowledges the real presence and the risk for relapse; advises prudent discernment and, where applicable, pastoral dispensations for priests who are alcoholics, with emphasis on avoiding harm to the individual's sobriety.
Ecclesial Consumerism
Q: How should one approach a situation where a spouse is reluctant to baptize children due to mental illness?
Advise to pursue the children's baptism in a manner that prioritizes their spiritual welfare, seek pastoral guidance, and consider compassionate resolution, possibly involving a priest or parish to arrange a feasible plan.
A Catholic Personal Relationship with Jesus
Q: Could you speak to a sample or two from scripture that backs up the use of that expression, that God is the source of all that is good?
Scripture, such as James 1:17, emphasizes that every good gift comes from the Father, underscoring that God is the source of all goodness and sustenance, which aligns with Catholic teaching about divine providence and the nature of God.
Catholic View on Atonement
Q: How does the Catholic Church view the method by which they interpret death penalty questions?
The Catholic Church differentiates between the official magisterial position and private conscience; one must acknowledge the Pope's authority while private judgment can still critique or discuss the reasoning, without breaking communion.
