The Uncensored Catholic

In this episode we discuss the love of God.  We ought to love God (1), because Christ commands this; (2), because He is in Himself essentially the highest beauty and sovereign perfection; (3), because He loves us and continually bestows benefits upon us.

1. Our love of God is chiefly manifested by thinking of Him constantly, by avoiding whatever might separate us from Him, by laboring to promote His glory, and willingly accepting all that comes from His hand.
2. We must love God with all our faculties, and above all things else in the whole world.
3. The love of God is of great advantage to us: Through it we are united to God here on earth, our minds are enlightened, our will is strengthened; we obtain pardon of sin, peace of soul, manifold proofs of God's favor, and after death celestial joys.
4. The merit of our good works and the degree of our future felicity is in proportion to the magnitude of our love for God.

In this episode we begin to discuss the 10 Commandments, beginning with and explanation of natural and revealed law.

1. God has imprinted the natural law on the heart of every man; this forms the fundamental rule of human actions.
2. In addition to this natural law, God gave to man solemn precepts, more especially the Ten Commandments and the two pre cepts of charity. These are known as the revealed law.
3. 3. Finally, God gives us commandments through His represent atives upon earth, through the ecclesiastical and secular authori ties. These laws are called ecclesiastical and civil laws.
4.  From the knowledge of the law comes conscience; the con sciousness, that is, whether an act is permitted or prohibited by the law,
5. God's commandments do not deprive men in any way of true freedom.

In this episode we continue discuss the the topic of Christian Hope.THE ADVANTAGE OF CHRISTIAN HOPE.

1. He who hopes in God enjoys the special protection of God.
2. He who hopes in God can obtain everything from Him ; for Christ said that such a one might move mountains (Mark xi. 23).
3. He who hopes in God is strengthened by God, so that he is not afraid of man, and is patient and courageous in suffering, and more especially in face of death.
4. He who hopes in God is impelled to the performance of good works and of heroic acts.

THE OBJECT OF CHRISTIAN HOPE

1. The Christian may not rely on* his own powers, on his fellow-men, nor on earthly things more than upon God ; otherwise he is sure to fail, because outside of God nothing is to be relied upon.
2. The Christian may not despair; i.e., he may not give up hoping that God will forgive his sins, or help him in adversity.
3. The Christian must never presume on his trust in God's mercy, i.e., he may not continue sinning with the idea that God's mercy can never condemn him to hell.
4.  The Christian may never tempt God; i.e., he must never expose himself rashly to danger in the hope that God will save him.

In this episode we discuss thethe topic of Christian Hope.

THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIAN HOPE.
Christian hope is the confident expectation of all those things which Christ promised us with regard to the fulfilment of God's will.

1. As the reward of carrying out God's will, Christ has promised us eternal happiness, and the means required for attaining it ; in particular God's grace, temporal goods for the sustaining of life, forgiveness of sins, help in our necessities, and the answering of our prayers.
2. Christian hope is based on faith, for we hope for the fulfilment of God's promises because we believe that God is infinitely true, infinitely powerful, and infinitely good, and that Christ has merited all for us.
3. He only who carries out God's will can hope for the good things promised by Christ.
4. A wholesome fear of falling into sin must always accompany Christian hope.
5. Christian hope is necessary for salvation.
6. Christian hope is a gift of God, and we can attain to this hope only by sanctifying grace.

In this episode we discuss the General Judgement when Jesus will return and judge all humanity.  Again, I explain that we really are not close to the Apocalypse no matter how bad things seem.  I also explain why Catholics cannot be antisemitic without committing grave sin.

1. Immediately after the resurrection the general judgment will take place.
2. The general judgment will take place in order that God's wisdom and justice may be made manifest to all creatures. Christ will be Judge in order that the honor of which He was robbed may be restored to Him before all creation.
3. Christ will conduct the judgment in the following man-
   ner: He will reveal all, even the most hidden things, will exact an account from all men of the works of mercy they have or ought to have performed, and by a final sentence separate forever the good from the bad.
4. The Day of Judgment is unknown to us, though certain signs have been revealed which are to herald its approach.

In this episode we discuss the resurrection of the body.

Christ on the Last Day will raise the bodies of all men from the dead, and unite them to the soul forever.

1. He often declared that He would raise the bodies of all men from the grave, and proved His power by miracles; this resurrection will be heralded by many signs in nature.
2. God will awake our bodies to life again to prove His jus tice, and to honor Our Redeemer.
   
3. As to the state of our bodies after the resurrection, we have the following facts: (1). After the resurrection we shall have the same 'bodies as we now have. (2). The bodies of the just will be glorious and those of the wicked hideous. (3). All the risen bodies will be without defect and immortal.

In this episode we discuss Purgatory.

1. Purgatory is a place where the souls of those must suffer for a time, who, though dying without grave sin on their souls, have not done complete penance for their offences against God.
2. That there is a purgatory we learn from the teaching of Christ, and especially from the practice and doctrine of the Church,
3. The faithful on earth can help the holy souls in purgatory by good works; in particular by prayer, fasting, alms-deeds, by offering or being present at Mass, by receiving the sacraments and gaining indulgences.
