A Catholic Approach to Abortion, Transgenderism, and Other Matters of Conscience w/ Dr. Christopher Kaczor
While not always easy, discussions about abortion, transgenderism, and other hot button issues are extremely important, and today Dr. Kaczor provides a Catholic approach to these topics. Get Your Copy of “Vital Conflicts” https://ignatius.com/vital-conflicts-vcdap/?searchuuid=c753d2fa-3b96-4abd-9bda-ca08562f5ec0&search_query=vital+conflicts Dr. Christopher Kaczor is the president of the American Catholic Philosophical Association, professor of philosophy at Loyola Marymount University, and author of the new book “Vital Conflicts,” which explores three of the most controversial issues in bioethics—abortion, transgender, and claims of conscience. He joins Andrew Petiprin today to discuss this new book and the bioethical issues it covers. In particular, Dr. Kaczor discusses how to have a fruitful conversation with people on these topics, and he highlights one of his favorite arguments against abortion that came from an atheist. He and Andrew also dive deeper into the mind/body problem that plagues these issues of human sexuality. This conversation and corresponding book are a great resource for people who are interested in the Catholic position on these matters and for Catholics who want to know more about the arguments behind the Church’s teachings.

Sheen: Conver Maker: https://ignatius.com/archbishop-fulton-j-sheen-afsp/?searchid=0&search_query=fulton Blessed Fulton Sheen was beloved by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and his teachings and lectures were widely viewed on both ratio and TV.

She details how he got his name, his life as a farmer, what he ate, his time as an altar server, and much more.

Receiving God’s Mercy After Performing Abortions w/ Dr. Bruchalski

He has written an amazing book “Two Patients” where he describes his history as an OBGYN who performed abortions, but then later reverted to Catholicism and her authentic teachings on faith and morals. However, today we will focus less on his own personal story which was the subject of our last episode with him, and instead zero in on what he learned from his conversion and years in the medical field. He and Ben Eriksen discuss his reasons for joining the medical field and how the devil slowly tempted him and misinformed him. They also discuss what parents should do when their children fall astray and what doctors should do when their patients seek immoral treatments. Finally, they examine the future of the prolife movement after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. This is an enlightening discussion which demonstrates the mercy God offers to all of us.

A Masterpiece or Epic Flop? Fr. Augustine Wetta Reviews Nolan’s The Odyssey
There has been a lot of commentary about Chrispher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but few of these commentators have thought as much about Odysseus as today’s guest—Fr. Augustine Wetta. Get Your Copy of “The Eighth Arrow: Odysseus in the Underworld”: https://ignatius.com/the-eighth-arrow-earp/?searchid=5303434&search_query=the+eighth+arrow Fr. Wetta believes that The Odyssey is an “brilliant masterpiece.” And in today’s episode, he defends this conclusion by discussing the critical scenes as well as overarching themes in the movie like Zeus’s Law and the gods themselves. He also unpacks the character of Odysseus and points out the notable flaws of Odysseus’s character. Fr. Wetta has also adapted the character of Odysseus in his own book “The Eighth Arrow” which took fourteen years to complete and has even been regarded as better than Tennyson by the head of the Library of Congress. Fr. Wetta hopes that his novel is worthy of his students who are often left to consume subpar fantasy that he believes does little to educate or edify. We hope you enjoy this episode and purchase Fr. Wetta’s book to continue enjoying great works of fiction. Get in Contact with Fr.
