  • 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.

New Perspectives on Paul Movement?
Q: Is Paul's new perspective the same as Catholic teaching on the subject?
Anders says the movement is not identical to Catholic teaching and originated largely among Protestant and Jewish scholars. Its reading of Paul in the context of Second Temple Judaism challenges common Protestant assumptions and can make Catholicism a natural ecclesial fit for some readers.
New Perspectives on Paul Movement?
Q: Can you give me your interpretation of Mark 13.5 through 13.23?
Anders says the passage draws on apocalyptic imagery to describe spiritual conflict in history and the coming vindication of God's people. It calls Christians to stay alert, since the timing of the end is unknown.
The Return of the 7 Demons?
Q: What is the logic behind waiting until marriage for sex, and what is special about the marriage bond?
Anders argues that Catholic sexual ethics is rooted in human flourishing, commitment, and the welfare of children. Marriage publicly binds spouses to lifelong fidelity and distinguishes the sexual relationship from one without that promise.
The Return of the 7 Demons?
Q: Why is it necessary to seek an annulment if the Church already considers a Catholic's civil marriage invalid?
Anders says this is a simplified process that documents the Catholic party's marriage outside the Church, confirming the defect of form before they proceed.
Dr. Anders on Luther
Q: How do I determine how politically engaged I ought to be?
Anders recommends engagement grounded in Catholic social teaching and the common good, not party allegiance. He suggests resisting outrage-driven social media, treating people on opposing sides humanely, and contributing through practical service.
