Today we look at the recent dialogue between the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. We also hear about the significance of religous podcasting and a new form of electronic book.
Listen to this episode as we look at several examples of the use of communication in spreading the faith from priests on line to the European Day of Languages.
A lighter episode of Catholic:Under The Hood with humorous commercials, our first lesson in Liturgese and the word "transphixiate" and what happens when a skinny nerd type hangs out with the ROTC.
Most of this episode is spent looking at the Pope's speech in Germany and the very hostile reaction to it in parts of the Islamic world. We will see why the relationship of faith and reason is so important to Benedict XVI and why violence is incompatible with the nature of God.
September is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, so in this episode we look at this special devotion and answer some listener comments about the previous episode on alien life. We also look at a new Catholic wiki.
We remember the tragic events of September 11, 2001 with a special focus on the life and ministry of Fr. Mychal Judge, OFM. We also look at stories in the news about Pope Benedict's parents and Madonna continues to cause controversy in Europe.
Today we continue our history of the Papacy with a brief look at Pope St. Pius I and the struggle with Marcionism. Marcion had a lot of problems with the Old Testament, we'll look at those struggles and how they are still with us today as we strive to know God better.
