It is important to know the basic Gospel Message and what Catholic believe.

Here is how I broke it down and here is the video I referenced in the podcast
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG6o-9ldl0M

1. We are creatures, God is the creator
2. There is an infinite abyss between us (metaphysically) 
3. Why did God Create us? Because he loves us. Genesis 
4. We are sinners so add infinite moral abyss
5. Sin enters the world (Fig Leaves → animal skin)
6. Animal Sacrifice
7. We need a redeemer 
8. Fully God and Fully Man
9. Superabundant payment for our sins
10. Pays for all sin
11. Word was made flesh born to the Virgin Mary
12. Through his blood he redeems mankind
13.  We enter into that mystery through the waters of baptism 
14. Baptism gives us the theological virtues of faith, hope and charity and the gift of sanctifying grace
15. It's the loving sacrifice that gives us the grace to Love God back
16. Being a nice person does not get you to Heaven
17. We must be engrafted to the person and work of Jesus Christ
18. This means being apart of his Church
19. Namely the Catholic church and her Sacraments
20. This is the basic Catholic Message

This episode is shorter than most. I gave a talk at Sacred Heart of Jesus in Manvel, Texas. It was a very short talk at only 20 mins. I shoved in everything I could into this short talk. I go over scripture, tradition, natural theology, Our Lady, the Eucharist, the 4 Last things, and the visions of St. John Bosco

Natural Theology "For truth about God, such as reason can know it, would only be known by a few, and that after a long time, and with the admixture of many errors." -Thomas Aquinas

Suffering is a part of every human life, how can we deal with this great problem of suffering. 

The audio here is not the best due to a mic failure, but the content is great let me know what you think by emailing me at [email protected]

If God gives you an abundant harvest of trials, it is a sign of great holiness which He desires you to attain. Do you want to become a great saint? Ask God to send you many sufferings. The flame of Divine Love never rises higher than when fed with the wood of the Cross, which the infinite charity of the Savior used to finish His sacrifice. All the pleasures of the world are nothing compared with the sweetness found in the gall and vinegar offered to Jesus Christ. That is, hard and painful things endured for Jesus Christ and with Jesus Christ.
--Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Thomas Aquinas is the greatest theologian and philosopher who ever lived. Here I break down his life, teachings, praises, and miracles associated with the great Doctor of the Church.

Aeterni Patris paragraph 32 "We exhort you, venerable brethren, in all earnestness to restore the golden wisdom of St. Thomas, and to spread it far and wide for the defense and beauty of the Catholic faith, for the good of society, and for the advantage of all the sciences. The wisdom of St. Thomas, We say; for if anything is taken up with too great subtlety by the Scholastic doctors, or too carelessly stated-if there be anything that ill agrees with the discoveries of a later age, or, in a word, improbable in whatever way-it does not enter Our mind to propose that for imitation to Our age. Let carefully selected teachers endeavor to implant the doctrine of Thomas Aquinas in the minds of students, and set forth clearly his solidity and excellence over others. Let the universities already founded or to be founded by you illustrate and defend this doctrine, and use it for the refutation of prevailing errors. But, lest the false for the true or the corrupt for the pure be drunk in, be ye watchful that the doctrine of Thomas be drawn from his own fountains, or at least from those rivulets which, derived from the very fount, have thus far flowed, according to the established agreement of learned men, pure and clear; be careful to guard the minds of youth from those which are said to flow thence, but in reality are gathered from strange and unwholesome streams."

We talked about the difference between the Tridentine Mass and the Novus Ordo mass. 

“If you want a church full of Catholics who know their faith, love their faith and practice their faith, give them a liturgy that is demanding, profound and rigorous. They will rise to the challenge.”  ― Peter Kwasniewski

"Every Holy Mass, heard with devotion, produces in our souls marvelous effects, abundant spiritual and material graces which we, ourselves, do not know...It is easier for the earth to exist without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass!" - St. Padre Pio

“Having the Mass in one's native language is no guarantee that a person will understand the mystery of the Mass. On the contrary, if the vesture of the ceremony is too familiar, the participants too easily thinks he has mastered what it's all about. The familiar becomes the routine, the routine becomes ignored. Our own language is a comfort zone that insulates us form the shock of the Gospel, the scandal of the Cross, the lure of the unknown. I would rather have a huge dose of foreignness, of music that is not current, words that are strange, language that is archaic, hieratic gestures that are grandly incongruous to a democratic society. A person thrown into this situation knows at least that he is dealing with something utterly different and possibly far deeper than his day-to-day occupations.” ― Peter Kwasniewski
