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!

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?
...
