The Lord is calling each of us to a moment of decision.
Segment 1: Lent is not the “Catholic Ramadan” This year, the Muslim observation of Ramadan falls during February and March, during the Catholic observation of Lent. To the untrained eye, these seasons are similar, containing times of fasting and reparation for sin. But Lent is much more than a “Catholic Ramadan.” Marcus has more.
Segment 2: Why did Jesus Fast for 40 Days?
Most people know that Lent lasts 40 days to unite with Jesus’ 40 days fasting in the desert. But why did Jesus fast for 40 days, instead of a different period of time? We’ll talk with Gary Michuta.
Segment 3: Intention makes the Sacrifice (2 segments)
What is the difference between thinking and praying? Between dieting and fasting? Between spending and almsgiving? David Bonagura joins us.
“Can you explain papal authority?” This question opens a discussion on the complexities of Church leadership, including the reconciliation of Vatican I and the Council of Constance. Other topics include the practice of praying for the dead and the perspectives of Orthodox believers on Roman primacy, highlighting the diverse theological inquiries that arise in Catholic apologetics.
