  • 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.

Separation of Church and State?
Q: Do the two wills know about each other?
That question is a category mistake; the will's role is to choose, not to know, and Christ's single person unites divine and human natures, so there isn't a separate 'two wills knowing' scenario. The hypostatic union means the person of Christ is one, and the will is analogical rather than a separate knowing entity.
The City of God
Q: But then today, I heard you, Dr. Anders, say the founding of the Catholic Church was at Pentecost. Please elaborate.
The foundation of the Church is rooted in Christ appointing the apostles, but the inauguration of the Church's visible mission and the empowering of the Apostles occur at Pentecost, which marks the formal sending of the Holy Spirit to equip the Church for its missionary work.
Did God Really Die?
Q: Why is confession necessary in Catholic teaching if God can forgive sins directly?
Sacraments provide tangible signs through which grace is conferred with objective certainty, offering a concrete, treaty-like assurance that forgiveness has been granted, beyond personal feeling or temporary assurance.
Did God Really Die?
Q: What does it mean to say that God died in the context of the Incarnation?
It means that the human nature of Jesus experienced mortality, while the divine nature remains eternal; the distinction of natures preserves the idea that divinity itself does not cease to live, even as the man Jesus died.
Is God Still Speaking?
Q: I don't understand why I have to earn salvation, what is the Catholic position on justification by faith and works?
The Catholic view emphasizes formed faith—faith working through love and grace—where salvation involves God's grace active in cooperation with human response, not faith alone devoid of good works; justification is a process of ongoing conversion rather than a one-time declaration.
