Episode 60: The Pope’s New Brooch and Other Stories

In this episode, we chat about the Pope’s Vesture once more, we speak about His New Encyclical “Spe Salvi”, and we talk about cu sixty, CatholiCon, the new donate button, the prospect of a LIVE show…oh so much for our sixtieth! Happy Advent!

    Hey guys,

    It turns out their are other uses of the term “Catholicon”. Including, but not limited to a Death Metal band in Baton Rouge. So there you have it.

    A few guys I know like to point out when they hear a random phrase that would be a GBN or “Good Band Name”.

    Fr. Ryan gave us a GBN this podcast:

    Strange Nudity.

    way to go Fr. Ryan. How does it feel to be an All-American?

    nice, carson…this is a homiletics treasure trove! I remember visiting this site a while back, has it been revamped?

    Perhaps Mr. Zeffirelli disliked the Pope’s Brooch!

    As an Anglican/Lutheran/Baptist fan of your podcast, and a former parishioner of St. Luke’s Episcopal right there in Baton Rouge, I was surprised to hear that you Catholics think that eternity is a very long time. Fathers! Think! Eternity cannot be a long time, because eternity is outside time, in fact transcends time, even as infinity transcends space. Time itself is finite and therefore short, and space is tiny. Living in eternity cannot possibly be boring, for it will be overwhelming in scope! If eternity could be bound by time, then there would never be time for God (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and the Blessed Virgin, and all the saints together to hear all our prayers. And if infinity could be contained in space, or measured, then how could God be omnipresent?
