This episode examines the question of Animal Natures. What is an animal? How are the beasts different from humans? Can animals feel pain? Do animals have self-awareness or self-consciousness? We discuss these questions and more.

If you are wondering about my claim that people could not eat meat before the great flood, and how God gave Noah and his descendants permission to eat meat after said flood, please see this bible passage: 

Gen. 9:1-7

What is Faith? This episode begins a mini-series of episodes on the Theological Virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love.

In this episode, we discuss the various definitions of "Faith" which are used in common culture, Holy Scripture, and the Church's teachings.

I want to thank Dr. Darrick Taylor with the "Controversies in Church History" podcast for alerting me to some housekeeping issues regarding this podcast.

In this episode, I also give an example about evidence for the Roman Papacy which is relative to the question of Faith.

In this episode, I give my reflections on how it feels to begin reading through the Ordinatio of Blessed John Duns Scotus. I also give an overview of how I make audiobooks from text files, which aid me greatly in reading through material.

In this episode, we continue the discussion from episode #121 on Scripture Wars and Apologetics, but attempt to give an overview of this topic as relates the three (3) main Christian groups: Catholics (Eastern and Western), Orthodox (Eastern and Oriental) and Protestants (Various).

In this episode, I discuss some of my thoughts on apologetics (giving a defense for one's faith), and how to do this "irenically" (peacefully).

I also give some brief remarks regarding Dr. Gavin Ortlund. Gavin is a Baptist Minister who holds his doctorate in Historical Theology. He has had a presence on YouTube for quite awhile, often doing irenic apologetics applicable to inter-Christian dialogue (mainly between Protestants, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox). 

Additionally I give my thoughts on why inter-Christian dialogue is not usually productive when we only argue from the Holy Scriptures.

In this episode, I am giving some reflections inspired by an amazing homily spoken by my bishop, Bishop Kevin Rhoades, on the importance of upholding doctrine.

In this episode, we continue our discussion on human nature (see Ep. 118 for the previous part) by focusing particularly on our bodies. The Catholic Church takes a very robust view regarding the material nature of the human being, which I attempt to lay out in this episode.
