Episode #57: Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Cardinal Robert Sarah have co-authored a new book entitled, “From the Depths of Our Hearts”. Ignatius Press editor Father Joseph Fessio in a press release said that book is about, “as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI describes it in his first paragraph: ‘the lasting crisis that the priesthood has been going through for many years.’ But it is about more than that; it is about the nature of the Church and of Christian discipleship. This is a book that all should read. It is powerful and personal – from the depths of their hearts.”

Terry Modica shares snippets from this book and puts it into the context of what a Good Shepherd is. She helps listeners understand why Benedict XVI and Cardinal Sarah insist that celibacy is essential in the life and ministry of priests. This type of priesthood – the heroic priesthood – is necessary in today’s world, and anything less than that is an abomination of Holy Orders because it harms people’s salvation.

It's fascinating how Mary in Scripture unties the knot Eve helped us get into. She is the new Eve inasmuch as she is the un-Eve that repeats the opposite of her predecessor.

Trent Horn explains why we’re Catholic- our reason for faith, hope, and love, and responds to callers who disagree.

Questions Covered:

01:21 - I am almost ready to be Catholic but Mary really holds me back. 

16:19 - I’ve never been Catholic. I’m not Catholic because of the current issues with the Church. 

24:36 - I am Oriental Orthodox because I see problems with the philosophy of Roman Catholicism. 

42:08 - I am not Catholic because I have studied historical theology and don’t believe that the current Catholic Church is the same as the early Church. 

52:26 - I am not Catholic because I have a problem with praying to the saints. If I did have the time to pray, why wouldn’t I pray to God directly?
