Fr. Joseph, Lauren and special guest Fr. Chris Perrella sit down to discuss why The Lord of the Rings is an intrinsically Catholic work.

Do you know the Theological and Cardinal Virtues? Aristotle defined virtue as “excellence in being human”, and moreover, the Catholic Faith teaches that growing in virtue, and overcoming vice, is the path to growth in holiness!
This week on Restless, Fr. Joseph, Lauren and special guest Fr. Chris Perrella, discuss this very topic. Beyond defining virtue, they reflect on some practical and...
Fr. Joseph, Lauren and Paul discuss the Papacy. More than whether or not Christians should believe in the Papacy (spoiler...yes), they discuss some difficulties with it and how the doctrine helps develop the virtue of humility. Some questions asked include:

What did Jesus mean by "the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church?
What do we make of anti-popes and bad popes?
...
Fr. Joseph, Lauren, and Paul discuss the necessary elements of true leadership in the Catholic Church. This includes overcoming perceived "busyness", recognizing the call to evangelization for all Christians (including lay people!), and discerning proper leaders for apostolates.

How is it possible to evangelize the people who most intimately know your faults? Fr. Joseph, Diane and Matt sit down to discuss how we should be evangelizing our families, from broaching the topic of the faith with those who have fallen away to raising kids in the faith.
