This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador of Nonsense) discuss some of the common 'apologetic type' subjects, but try to give them a little more depth. Eric believes that the answers to such questions are often so repeated in Catholic media that they become almost boring, so he and Dad climb into the areas and discuss some of the things that generally wouldn't be said to a protestant, in order to argue for the faith, but make for good meditation points for any Catholic who wants to know his faith on a deeper level. This week's subjects: Mass and The Cross (how one does not take away from the other) and Sin and Free Will (how concupiscence does not interfere with free will and good is still possible even in a fallen state).
