A Reason for Hope

Conceived by the Holy Spirit, Born of the Virgin Mary | The Creed (Pt. 7)

In this episode continuing our series on The Creed, Dave and Mario discuss the virginal and miraculous conception of Jesus, how Mary had taken a vow of consecrated virginity (which prompted her question to the Archangel Gabriel), and how Jesus received his whole human nature from Mary.  We also discuss a little known article of faith - that Jesus also had a miraculous birth, such that Mary is called ever-Virgin!

Jesus Is the Son of God! | The Creed (Pt. 6)

In this episode, we continue to discuss the second article of the Creed: "And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord." David and Mario focus upon what we mean when we profess that Jesus is "the only Son" of the Father. They discuss how the Son of God is eternally begotten of and consubstantial with the Father, and distinguish between being the Son of God by nature vs. being a son of God by adoption. They also discuss how Jesus is fully God and fully man in one Divine Person, and how the Church came to clarify this in response to early heresies about Jesus.

Jesus is the Only Savior and Lord! | The Creed (Pt. 5)

In this episode, we move on to the second article of the Creed: "And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord." David and Mario discuss how much is jam-packed into this one short phrase and review the rich meanings of the the name "Jesus," the title "Christ," and the designation "Lord" in Biblical times. They touch upon Jesus as "the only Son" of the Father, but that topic will be treated in more detail in the next episode!

From Capitol Hill to St. Peter's: Newt Gingrich's Catholic Conversion

In this episode, we welcome former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich. We discuss his conversion to Catholicism, his admiration for Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI, and his wonderful documentary on John Paul II’s visit to Poland that sparked the fall of the Soviet Union. We also learn what prompted Speaker Gingrich to believe he was “called” to a life of public service, his time as Speaker of the House from 1995-1999 and what is different about politics today, and his work as a writer and historian.

God is our Father (not our mother) | The Creed (Pt. 4)

In this third episode in our series on The Creed, Mario and Dave continue their discussion of the First Article, moving from the conversation about the nature of God and God as Creator to the truth revealed by Jesus that God is our Father.  They discuss why God is Father (and not mother), but also what we do and do not mean by this. They also show why those who say that God being called Father is the result of prejudices of previous historical time periods are misguided.
