    Day 267: The Church as Mother and Teacher (2025)
    Sep 23 2025
    “The moral life is spiritual worship,” says the Catechism. From the Church, we receive moral guidance, with the Magisterium safeguarding and passing down authentic Christian moral teaching through the generations. This teaching reminds us who we are and how we should be, though it may sometimes deeply challenge us. In its prophetic role, Fr. Mike tells us, “the Church must both console and convict.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2030-2036. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

    Day 266: The Gift of Grace (2025)
    Sep 22 2025
    In this summary of the Catechism’s teaching on holiness, justification, and merit, we briefly consider the work of God’s grace and mercy. His grace moves us from sin and toward him, making us his sons and daughters and bringing us into the very life of the Trinity. This gift of grace invites us to respond to his promptings and invitations freely. Finally, God offers “all the graces needed to attain eternal life.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2017-2029. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

  • Day 265: The Call to Holiness (2025)

    Day 265: The Call to Holiness (2025)
    Sep 22 2025
    Each of us is called to holiness. As Fr. Mike puts it, we’re all called to the “heights of holiness.” No matter our station in life, we’re meant for ever greater union with Christ, devoting ourselves to the love of God and neighbor. The path of holiness also entails the Cross, self-denial, and the sacrifice that ultimately leads to peace. And as Fr. Mike reminds us, even if we stumble or fail, we know that we can, time after time, “begin again.” Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2012-2016. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

A invaluable learning opportunity to grow in faith and understanding of the Catholic Church. Including the history of the church and church tradition.

A priceless gift

I was baptized Anglican, a cross between Catholic and Protestant. I have leaned more Protestant and gather my learning from all the true trinitarian denominations. I am amazed at this Catechism and have gotten the book too. Every Christian can gain so much understanding from this podcast and the Catechism. And for all the Catholics I have run across who say they are not really being "fed" by the church... we'll dig into the Catechism as an adult and see how much you gain from it!

Every Christian needs this
