Today, Ben Eriksen is joined by Thomas Jacobi, editor at Ignatius Press, and Alexander von Lengerke, YOUCAT illustrator, to talk about the new “YOUCAT Love Forever book.” The three of them discuss the importance of this work not only for college students, but also for young adults, engaged couples, and even those that are already married. This book explains the Church’s teaching on gender and sexual morality. But it isn’t a list of don’ts; instead, it articulates the beauty of God’s understanding of love and what beautiful possibilities there are for those that avail themselves of His love and plan for their lives.

Yet this book isn’t just a moral guide and explainer; it seeks to give people concrete practical answers to specific and detailed questions about dating, engagement, friendship, and marital struggles. We truly believe this book can revolutionize how Catholics understand love, and we hope it finds its way into the hands of every person.

The Battle of Magdeburg was a real historical event where Protestants and Catholics fought over the city of Magdeburg. This battle was fought to force the Protestants to become Catholic but ended in the massacre of two thirds of the population.

From these horrific events, Gertrud von le Fort writes a novel about an actual wedding in Magdeburg. This novel has been recently translated and published by Ignatius Press, and it is championed by Vivian Dudro. Andrew Petiprin joins Vivian to discuss the historical background of Gertrud von le Forte and the novel itself. They discuss some of the main themes of the novel such as strength in weakness, ecumenism, and Mariology. “The Wedding of Magdeburg” is a true and as of yet unknown classic; you won’t regret picking up this book.

Traditional Thomists are normally unfriendly to Henri De Lubac, but today’s guest, Fr. Cajetan Cuddy points out that Thomists are very indebted to De Lubac and should join him on the battlefield.  

Fr. Cajetan Cuddy is a Dominican priest, scholar, and Youtuber who recently presented at the De Lubac conference hosted by the John Paul II Institute on Marriage and the Family. He joins us today to talk about De Lubac and his critical insight into the rise of constructive atheism. Fr. Cuddy and Ben Eriksen talk about De Lubac’s response to this new threat to the human person. They also discuss the tendency of academics and intellectuals to focus too exclusively on the academic end of writing and researching while ignoring the search for truth and God who is much more than an intellectual principle. Their conversation not only provides insights into our modern culture but also demonstrates the crucial overlap between intellectual inquiry and one’s lived experience.

Shahbaz Bhatti is not a well-known figure in America, but hopefully the graphic novel “Blood and Water” will change that because he is truly an inspirational hero of the faith and religious freedom.

Get your copy of “Blood and Water”: https://ignatius.com/blood-and-water-6bwh/?searchid=0&search_query=blood+and+water It is a perfect gift for youth and adults alike!

On March 2, 2011, Shahbaz Bhatti a devout Catholic and Pakistani politician was murdered by the Taliban. But his life and legacy are much greater than his passing from this world because he is a hero that all of us should look up to and imitate.

In this episode, we are joined by three guests. Knox Thames who is a personal friend of Shahbaz and his family and served as the State Department Special Advisor for Religious Minorities under both President Obama and President Trump. His personal account of Shahbaz’s character and work form the basis of the graphic novel “Blood and Water” which retells the life and witness of this great man.

We are also joined by the writer (Matt Yocum) and illustrator (Jordan Holt) of “Blood and Water.” Matt has worked on several projects for Marvel comics and beautifully tells the story of Shahbaz from his childhood until after his death. Jordan also speaks about the creative process and how he immersed himself in the Pakistani culture in order to present it both accurately and artistically.

As America reaches its 250th year, Dr. Harmon and Mark Brumley consider the importance of civics education and great books programs to bolster the future of the country.

Dr. Thomas Harmon teaches at the University of St. Thomas, and he joins Mark Brumley to talk about the recent endowment given to the university to establish a new initiative aimed at developing good Catholic citizens. This initiative uses the Great Books (including our Constitution) as well as a seminar style of teaching to teach students to ask the right questions and pursue good answers. He and Mark also focus on the potential usefulness and challenges of artificial intelligence and what it means to be a good Catholic in America.
