I also give a history of the Church's fasting disciplines from the Old Testament to the present day.

153. Is it Evangelization or Coercion?

What does true evangelization look like? Many of us (especially in America) have ill informed views about evangelization, how it is done, and what it is.

139. The Traditional Latin Mass vs. Novus Ordo (Where I Stand)

In this episode I give my opinions regarding the Liturgy Wars within the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church (the Traditional Latin Mass vs. the Novus Ordo). The Traditional Latin Mass currently in use is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1962." The Novus Ordo is more accurately described as the "Roman Missal of 1969."

136. Tensions in the Liturgy Wars - Part II (The Conservative Side)

Original Video: https://youtu.be/c1IBKtH0IbA This is a continuation of our last episode on tensions in the liturgy wars; except this time i examine the tensions that I see in the conservative side of the conversation. Please know that my views expressed here are fluid and works in progress. Particularly, my claim that "the Novus Ordo breeds chaos" is not a hill I am willing to die on, and also needs to be understood in its context. It is a statement that sounds harsh, but the word "chaos" is use...

135. Tensions in the Liturgy Wars -- Part I (The Traditionalist Side)

Find the original video here: https://youtu.be/33tYd2EHsbw In this episode we discuss some of the tensions that I see in these discussions about the Liturgy. This first part mainly focuses upon the tensions that I view on the "Traditionalist" side of these debates. The next episode (Part II) will focus mainly on the tensions that I view on the "Conservative" side. www.catholicisminthecar.com

134. Can the Entire Roman Rite be Abrogated? (The State of the Question -- Part II)

Original Video found here: https://youtu.be/2QQxZ5qg6EU In this video, I discuss the question "Can the Entire Roman Rite (Itself) be Abrogated? For that matter, can the Byzantine, Coptic, Ambrosian, Dominican, etc. Rites by abrogated? This is an underlying premise that is assumed in the question "Can the TLM be abrogated?" It is a necessary question to be asked, and it's propositions need to be examined.

133. Can the Pope Abrogate the Traditional Latin Mass? (The State of the Question -- Part I)

This episode gives my analysis of the state of the question as regards the Traditional Latin Mass: Can the Pope abrogate the TLM? Is the Novus Ordo Missae a continuation of the Roman Rite? These questions, and more, are valuable parts of this episode. I also mention my social media discussions with Dr. Peter Kwasniewski and Mr. Gregory DiPippo. I hope to do a "remake" of this episode when I am not in the car, so that the audio will be more pleasing.

132. Should we have Liturgy Wars?

Original Video found here: https://youtu.be/WqL5NxWNq6I Please SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel! It helps us so much to get this content to others! This video is my initial one regarding the "liturgy wars." I am relatively new to these particular discussions, but am attempting to remedy some of the unnecessary conflict involved therein. I have been hesitant to make a video on this topic, lest it contribute to the disconcerting lack of communication I see. I am not a fan of most of the rebuttal v...

131. Are Jesus and Mary's Bodies in Heaven?

In this episode we discuss the metaphysical and physical question: Are Jesus and Mary's physical bodies (as they ascended or were assumed) in Heaven? By "Heaven" here, I mean that interim-state between when we die and when we are resurrected on the last day. I give reference to Duns Scotus' and Bonaventure's answers to this question, as well as give some thoughts of my own. www.catholicisminthecar.com

130. Can Christians be Agnostic?

I apologize again for the background noise in this episode. My new commute to work has me taking the interstate, which greatly increases the amount of background noise. This episode examines what aspects Christians can be agnostic (or say "I dont know") about. I also take up some interesting questions regarding our physical bodies, corruptionism, the bodies of Jesus and Mary, etc. www.catholicisminthecar.com
