WOF 378: Bishop Barron, Fr. Mike Schmitz, and the Priesthood

Friends, one major theme appearing throughout the teachings of Pope Francis is the danger of technocracy. In his 2015 encyclical, Laudato si’, he coined the term “technocratic paradigm,” using the term five times in the encyclical.
 
Should we be concerned about our technocratic society, one dominated by tech and science and which, in turn, aims to dominates nature? That’s what I discuss with Brandon Vogt today on “The Word on Fire Show.”
 
A listener asks, what’s the difference between the Protestant and Catholic understandings of the Church?

WOF 379: Pope Francis and the Dangers of Technocracy

Friends, what are the liberal arts, and why are so many schools getting rid of them? A recent article in The New Yorker titled “The End of the English Major” revealed that during the past decade, the study of English and history at the collegiate level has fallen by a full third.
 
Do the liberal arts still matter? Why should people study them? That’s what I discuss with Brandon Vogt on today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”
 
A listener asks, what is your response to the claim that more blood has been shed in history over the name of Jesus Christ than any other individual?

WOF 381: Why the Liberal Arts Matter

Friends, in his talk at the 2022 Good News Conference, Fr. John Riccardo speaks about the unwavering trust and hope that Christians are called to.
 
When tempted to despair, we are challenged to hope that the Lord is addressing the storms in our lives, the lives of others, and the life of the Church.

WOF 382: The Beauty of Hope w/ Fr. John Riccardo

Friends, does Christianity still have a place in the public square? What can it contribute to the broader culture?
 
On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss some of the unique ways that Christianity has shaped the modern world.
 
A listener asks, what is the Catholic response to post-modernity, specifically the claim that everything is predicated on power?

WOF 384: Bishop Barron and Jonathan Roumie: A Conversation

Friends, many people are familiar with the Thomistic tradition, following St. Thomas Aquinas, but what about the Franciscan intellectual tradition, following St. Francis? Who are some of the great Franciscan theologians, and what can they teach us today? That’s what Brandon Vogt and I discuss on today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show.”
 
A listener asks, does God the Father love us as much as he loves Jesus and the Holy Spirit?

WOF 385: The Franciscan Intellectual Tradition

Friends, in February 2023, award-winning historian, author, and broadcaster Tom Holland and I discussed Western culture, the intellectual and moral aspects of Christianity, and the doctrine of original sin, among many other topics, at the Sharing the Church’s Story Conference in London.

WOF 386: Christianity, History, and the Modern Age w/ Tom Holland

Friends, a recent study from the Pew Research Center found that nearly seven-in-ten Catholics (69%) believe that during Mass, the bread and wine used in communion “are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.” Only one-third of U.S. Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which says the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus.
 
This is a spiritual crisis, and in response, the United States bishops have launched a three-year Eucharistic revival to help Catholics understand the truth and beauty of this sacrament. On today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Brandon Vogt and I discuss our hopes for the revival and the special resource Word on Fire created to accompany it.
 
A listener asks, if the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, is the Eucharist a person?
