Episode 62: Load Up the Ark, ‘Cause We Got A Zoo.

The special format episodes continue as we devote a whole show to backchats we have received over the course of the year. We promise we’ll give some time to some of the audio backchats we have received! We talk about orthodoxy once more, papal primacy a bit, ministering to one’s family, and why Joshua works well with animals.

Also, listen for a special announcement in the CU news portion

The Pope – Yeah he's got the keys and therefore the Universal Jurisdiction (as well as primacy)

Jamie Anson gives us a good quote from GK Chesterton's book Orthodoxy.  btw, GK stands for Gilbert Keith, not Garrison Keillor contrary to Fr. Ryan's opinion.

cu pick of the week

Fr. Ryan – clerus.org
Fr. Chris – images for use in liturgical programs and the O Antiphons and the explanation of said antiphons.
Josh – the chat 50 USB Plus

The best way to get loved ones to come back to the faith, in our opinion, is to live the faith and be a model.

Are Mormon's Christian?  Simply the answer is no because they don't believe and accept the divinity of Jesus Christ but this is just one of the many problems with Mormonism.

Should we do a live show?  Let us know, we're waiting for the backchat

the music

Junoon – Tu Lang-uh Ja
MRDC – Fly
Norine Braun - Carefully watch the news

Catholic Underground First of Five New Podcasts to Join SQPN

12/20/2007 – 10:41 EST
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MEDIA ADVISORY

CONYERS, GA – In celebration of the remaining days of Advent, the Star Quest Production Network (SQPN.com) – the Internet’s most popular portal for Catholic podcasts – will be adding five new shows to their line-up of popular Catholic programming.

“We are rounding out our annual giving campaign that makes it possible for us to provide so many free and exciting Catholic programs on the Internet,” says Greg Willits, Chief Operations Officer of SQPN. “And as our way of thanking our listeners for their generosity, we felt this was a perfect time to start adding new shows, one a day, leading up to Christmas. It’s five days of Christmas presents for the Catholic podcast listening audience.”

Podcasts, which are similar to radio shows, are free, downloadable audio and video files that can be listened to or viewed on computers or portable media devices such as MP3 players, CD players, and iPods. This past year SQPN broke new ground with video productions such That Catholic Show, a popular new video series co-produced with Rosary Army (www.RosaryArmy.com).

“2008 will continue to bring new programs to SQPN, including new video podcasts and a new season of That Catholic Show,” says Fr. Roderick Vonhögen, founder of SQPN. “But we couldn’t wait until the new year to launch these new affiliate podcasts, so we’re announcing the first of five new programs today.”

The first new show being added to SQPN is Catholic Underground, hosted by Fr. Chris Decker (a priest for the Diocese of Baton Rouge), Fr. Ryan Humphries (a priest for the Diocese of Alexandria, Louisiana), and Joshua LeBlanc (co-founder and president of cyberCatholics.com).

Following the success of several podcasts aimed at presenting weekly technology news and podcasts covering life in the Catholic sphere, the members of catholicunderground.com have created a podcast that speaks to both Vatican II and Pope John Paul the Great’s call for those in media to responsibly and courageously bring technology to the transmission of the Gospel.

“At catholicunderground.com, we’re amazed at how God is bringing about the new springtime of the Church through the use of technology,” says Fr. Decker. “SQPN has been a great resource for those who are discovering the Catholic faith or are re-discovering it after some time away. We’re proud to be part of that continuing mission and honored to join the SQPN extended family.”

Information and links to subscribe to Catholic Underground can be found at www.CatholicUnderground.com and www.sqpn.com.
