    Segment 1: Orwell’s Prophetic 1984

    On June the 8th of 1949, George Orwell published 1984. Nearly eight decades later, the book is still unpleasantly fresh. It’s a diagnosis that was given before our society was even willing to admit it’s sick, and much of what he said turned out to be true. Marcus has more.

    Segment 2: Forgotten Heroes of Catholicism – The Other French Resistance

    Many people will have heard of the French Resistance, the name given to the various underground organizations that fought against the Nazis during the German occupation of France in World War II. Few, however, will be aware of another “French Resistance,” a century and a half earlier, in which around 170,000 people died. This was the Vendée Uprising of 1793. Joseph Pearce tells the story.

  • Journey Home - Dr. Lisa Heerema - Former Christian Reformed Church
    Dr. Lisa Heerema came from a Reformed Christian background, and became interested in the Catholic Church through history, liturgy, and the sacraments, but had many questions, including about the saints, and her background in Calvinism was a significant hurdle in understanding the Catholic perspective.
    Attending a Coming Home Network retreat was key in helping her feel more at peace about her journey to the Catholic Faith. She was received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2023.

    “How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus?” This question opens a discussion on the distinct perspectives each faith holds about Christ.

    Questions Covered:

    • 02:45 – How Does Islam and Christianity Differ on Jesus?
    • 10:45 – If God could have forgiven humanity without the cross, what makes the cross a more fitting means of salvation than simply forgiving sinners?
    • 21:00 – What do you think of the idea that Muhummad had the strength of 30 men?
    • 29:02 – Are there Messianic Muslims — Muslims who believe in Jesus?
    • 35:35 – It is in the Koran that Jesus said he was going to send a messenger.
    • 41:35 – Does Islam teach that Christians must be destroyed?
    • 45:15 – Isn’t it disingenuous to dismiss all of Islam culturally? It seems like people try to trash the whole religion when we could build bridges instead.
    • 52:35 – How do you explain the Catechism’s teaching that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, when Islam is so different than Christianity? Also, early church fathers used the quick spread of the faith around the world as an argument for its truth. But Islam spread even more quickly. How would you respond to that?
