  • The Catechism in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz) - Day 56: Man’s First Sin (2026)

    Together, with Fr. Mike, we explore the nature of man’s first sin or our “freedom put to the test.” Fr. Mike unpacks the importance of us understanding that freedom is not the power to “do what we want,” but rather, the power to “do what I ought.” Though the story of the first sin is that of our first parents, Fr. Mike emphasizes that we still repeat the grave error of the first sin in our own lives by preferring our own perceived “goods” over the “goods” of our Creator and Father in heaven. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 396-401.

    This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

    Segment 1: The Lifelong Effects of Childhood Discipline

    Have you ever seen an adult behaving badly and wondered if they were ever disciplined as a kid? Childhood discipline has lifelong effects – and not just on how we behave. It also predicts the way we resolve conflicts as adults. We discuss Discipleship Discipline with Dr Greg Popcak.

    Segment 2: Explaining the Eucharist to someone who’s never heard of Jesus Next week Marcus will join a mission trip to Taiwan, where a mere 1% of the population is Catholic. How do you explain complex theological ideas to someone who may have never heard the name of Jesus? Where do you begin with introducing the concept of God to a godless society? Marcus shares some thoughts.

    “What are the limits of Church authority?” This question opens a discussion on the role and boundaries of ecclesiastical power, while also addressing related topics such as the authority of the Bible versus Church tradition and the implications of using AI in homilies. Other questions touch on the origins of purgatory and the complexities of religious freedom in a diverse society.

    Questions Covered:

    • 04:59 – What would be a good response to a Protestant asking why the Bible isn’t the final authority?
    • 12:27 – Pope Leo said priests should not use AI to prepare homilies. Would the pope have authority to limit or govern the Church’s use of AI in the future?
    • 19:17 – A Protestant might say that when the early church first started calling itself Catholic, that was really a “small c” kind of Catholic. It wasn’t really the Church united under a bishop of Rome. How do we respond to that?
    • 23:25 – Where do we get the idea of purgatory?
    • 30:36 – I am autistic. Are we able to use AI to study the scriptures?
    • 36:39 – Why do we believe in religious freedom? It seems like that gives other religions a kind of tactical advantage? Why not just have the government say that everyone should be Christian?
    • 42:01 – A priest told me questioning the authority of the Church is blasphemy. Is that really true? If that’s the case then how would you guys be able to have this discussion right now without blaspheming?
    • 47:51 – Can you explain what’s going on with the SSPX right now? If the pope is the authority I don’t see why these bishops are disobeying him.
