The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, but the fact that it is a body means a lot. On one hand, no principle of Catholic Social Teaching stands except that it rest of the foundation of the "brute reality" of the Church. On the other, the members of the Faith become worldly, even in their best intentions, unless they rest their efforts on the fact of the Church as the portal between time and eternity.

The Feast of the Assumption always denotes the ending of summer and the fact that fall will start soon, but it also is a pivot point for many Protestants considering conversion to Catholicism. Bo and Bud talk about the factors that made the Assumption of Mary not only "make sense" from an Apologetics stand point, but grounded Catholicism both in the here and now, the hope of Eternal life, and in the power of the Logos to imbue with more-than-symbolic power what was formerly just the vanishing shadows of time.

What does it means to do history rather than just read history? Bo comes up with a t-shirt pithy aphorism, Bud double and triple checks whether it makes any sense, and we are off to the races talking about history, eye witness accounts, means of communication in terms of how we understand past events, and yes...John Henry Newman on the illative sense. Who knew history could be such a blast? Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows:

Undoubtedly you have heard of the French fiasco in the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games. How are Christians to process this event? We try to get underneath the surface level political tensions and ask about the nature of art and imagery, interpretation, etc., and ask ourselves whether Christians should be offended by mockery, or if they should demand better mockery from their cultured despisers.

Reflecting on Leadership in a Christian Key once again, we take on the injection of St. Paul to boast in our weakness, by which the strength of the Lord is shown. But what does that look like practically? And how might we form young Catholic Leaders in this principle when so much of leadership studies seems to focus on strengths? We ponder all this in more!
