The Uncensored Catholic

In this episode we discuss the nature of angels, what they are and how we are to relate to them. This is a very important episode that could really help with dialogue between Catholics and Protestants.

1. The angels are pure spirits.
2. All the angels whom God created were, at the beginning, in the grace of God and well pleasing to Him. But many of the angels sinned through pride, and were cast down by God into hell forever (2 Pet. ii. 4).
3. The evil angels are our enemies; they envy us, seek to lead us to sin, and can, with God's permission, injure us in our bodies, or in our worldly goods.
4. The angels who remained faithful to God behold the face of God continually and sing His praises.
5. The holy angels are also called guardian angels, because they watch over us (Heb. i. 14).

In this episode we discuss many things, but especially the necessity of suffering.

1. No one can attain to eternal salvation without suffering.
2. All suffering comes from God, and is a sign of His love and favor.
3. God sends suffering to the sinner to bring him back into the right way and to save him from eternal death.
4. God sends suffering to the just man to try him whether he loves God most or creatures.
5. Sufferings then are no real evil, but are benefits from the hand of God.

In this episode we discuss Divine Providence

We call by the name of divine providence God's preservation and government of the world.

1. God maintains the world, i.e., He preserves all creatures in existence as long as He wills.. G
2. God governs the world, i.e., He conducts all things in the world, so that they contribute to His glory and to our advantage.
3. For this reason a pious Christian should resign himself en tirely to the will of God.

How are the Misfortunes of the Good and the Prosperity of the Wicked to be Reconciled with the Providence of God ?

1. No sinner has true happiness, and no servant of God true misery. For true happiness is impossible without inner peace and contentment; and this is possessed by the true servant of God, but not by the sinner.
2. Moreover the good fortune of the sinner is for the most part only transitory.
3. The real recompense of man only begins after death.
4. Sinners are rewarded on this earth for the little good that they have done-. The just on the other hand are for the most part punished in this life for the evil they have done.

How is Sin to be Reconciled with the Providence of God?

1. It is not God Who is responsible for sin and its conse quences, but man's wrong use of his free will.
2. God in His wisdom employs even sin for a good end.
3. Besides, it does not become us to pry into the secret designs of God; we poor miserable creatures must adore His wisdom and submit ourselves humbly to what He ordains.

In this episode we discuss the history or creation.
1. In the beginning God created the spiritual and material universe.
2. The material world was at first without form, without in habitants, and without light.
3. God gave to the material universe its present form in the course of six days.
4. On the seventh day God rested from all His work that He had done.

From What, and for what End has God Created the World?
1. God made the world out of nothing, simply because it pleased Him to make it.
2. God was moved to make the world by His great goodness.
3. The end of creation is necessarily to proclaim to men the glory of God.

In this episode we discuss the mystery of the Trinity

1. The Blessed Trinity is one God in three persons.
2. We cannot, with our feeble understanding, grasp the doc trine of the Blessed Trinity, and it is therefore called a mystery.
3. The nature, the attributes, and the works of the three per sons of the Blessed Trinity are common to all of them.
4. The three divine persons are divided only in their origin.
5. We are taught the mystery of the Blessed Trinity by Christ Himself, but it was partly known in the time of the Old Testa ment.
6. The belief in the Blessed Trinity is expressed in the Apostles' Creed, in Baptism, and in the other sacraments, in all consecrations and blessings, and in the feast of the Most Holy Trinity.

We have been hit with a lot of fake news today. The headlines scream that the Catholic Church must now bless "gay marriage!" That is not true. Chistina Sorrentino has written an excellent article about what Fiducia Supplicans really means. Today, we discuss this and then we turn to Fr. Spirago who explains, " God is almighty, i.e., God can do all that He wills, and that by a mere act of His will." I also rant a lot about the need for Catholic officials and writers to learn to write more plainly so that we are not so often confused by their statements.
