February 17, 2023 136. Tensions in the Liturgy Wars - Part II (The Conservative Side)
Original Video: https://youtu.be/c1IBKtH0IbA
This is a continuation of our last episode on tensions in the liturgy wars; except this time i examine the tensions that I see in the conservative side of the conversation. Please know that my views expressed here are fluid and works in progress. Particularly, my claim that "the Novus Ordo breeds chaos" is not a hill I am willing to die on, and also needs to be understood in its context. It is a statement that sounds harsh, but the word "chaos" is used in a particular way, meaning that the Novus Ordo seems to err on the side of "de-rubricization" or "de-regulation." I view this as a flaw in the way that the Novus Ordo was constructed. I also view the fact that the Novus Ordo can be factually considered to have been "constructed by a committee" to be an unfortunate reality of history that is not in the Novus Ordo's favor.

February 02, 2023 134. Can the Entire Roman Rite be Abrogated? (The State of the Question -- Part II)
Original Video found here: https://youtu.be/2QQxZ5qg6EU
In this video, I discuss the question "Can the Entire Roman Rite (Itself) be Abrogated? For that matter, can the Byzantine, Coptic, Ambrosian, Dominican, etc. Rites by abrogated? This is an underlying premise that is assumed in the question "Can the TLM be abrogated?" It is a necessary question to be asked, and it's propositions need to be examined.

February 01, 2023 133. Can the Pope Abrogate the Traditional Latin Mass? (The State of the Question -- Part I)
This episode gives my analysis of the state of the question as regards the Traditional Latin Mass: Can the Pope abrogate the TLM? Is the Novus Ordo Missae a continuation of the Roman Rite? These questions, and more, are valuable parts of this episode. I also mention my social media discussions with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Mr. Gregory DiPippo.
I hope to do a "remake" of this episode when I am not in the car, so that the audio will be more pleasing.

January 30, 2023 132. Should we have Liturgy Wars?
Original Video found here: https://youtu.be/WqL5NxWNq6I
Please SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel! It helps us so much to get this content to others!
This video is my initial one regarding the "liturgy wars." I am relatively new to these particular discussions, but am attempting to remedy some of the unnecessary conflict involved therein. I have been hesitant to make a video on this topic, lest it contribute to the disconcerting lack of communication I see. I am not a fan of most of the rebuttal videos circulating back-and-forth in this field, so this video is not a rebuttal to anyone. It is simply a plea from one lay Catholic to his brothers and sisters in Christ.

January 30, 2023 131. Are Jesus and Mary's Bodies in Heaven?
In this episode we discuss the metaphysical and physical question: Are Jesus and Mary's physical bodies (as they ascended or were assumed) in Heaven? By "Heaven" here, I mean that interim-state between when we die and when we are resurrected on the last day.
I give reference to Duns Scotus' and Bonaventure's answers to this question, as well as give some thoughts of my own.

I apologize again for the background noise in this episode. My new commute to work has me taking the interstate, which greatly increases the amount of background noise.
This episode examines what aspects Christians can be agnostic (or say "I dont know") about.
I also take up some interesting questions regarding our physical bodies, corruptionism, the bodies of Jesus and Mary, etc.
