The question of Justification is one of the key dividers between Catholics and Protestants. In the Protestant viewpoint, God is a merciful judge before whom the sinner stands guilty. The judge declares the sinner, “Not guilty.” Although there’s no inward change in the person, the great gift of no more condemnation is received by faith. While Catholics don’t deny that there’s a forensic nature to justification, they believe that there’s a more profound change that occurs in justification than just going from guilty to not guilty. We take a closer look with Steve Wood.

Wellness-minded people today are increasingly turning to intermittent fasting to bolster their health. But we aren’t the first people to abstain from eating for a purpose. This routine was a common part of our spiritual ancestors’ lives for 1,500 years. Jay Richards joins us with a look at the benefits of fasting and how Christians can develop a fasting lifestyle.

In this Sunday's Gospel, we meet the Woman at the Well. The Catechism has much to say about this passage and how Jesus invites all of us to share His table. Peggy Stanton joins us.

Scripture portrays the covenant between God and his people as a divine-human marriage spanning through all of human history. In the eyes of Jewish scholars, God married humanity in the Garden of Eden, and that union was broken by sin and restored throughout the Old Testament. We explore this union of Divine Love further with Andre Villeneuve.

For more than two years now, Democrats, Republicans and various outlets of the mainstream press have attempted to spin the events of January 6 in such a way to show that they are the patriotic heroes of the day. This phenomenon of constantly trying to prove that one is “More Patriotic than Thou” is poisonous to our political discourse. Al discusses.

It’s been just over a year since Russia invaded Ukraine. Last night Russia launched one of its biggest air strikes of the war, with 84 missiles targeting Ukrainian infrastructure all over the country. In a recent interview, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he does not see himself meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin any time soon. What is life like today for Christians in Ukraine? Archbishop Borys Gudziak joins us.

In John Chapter 16, Jesus tells us “in the world, you will have trouble, but take courage for I have conquered the world.” Though this can be hard to put into practice, relying on Jesus to strengthen us after a fall is an essential part of the Christian experience. We are not called to be “Averse to Adversity.” We’ll be discussing this on March 25 at our annual Familiaris Consortio conference. Keynote speaker Dr. Kristin Collier joins us with Joe Jordano.

Before his radical conversion experience on the road to Damascus, St Paul - then known as Saul - was a strict follower of the Jewish faith. How did he view his Judaism after he became a follower of Christ? Brant Pitre joins us.
