Sadly, many classical works of literature are poorly made and tainted with woke ideology in the introduction, footnotes, and explainers that distort the text itself. Thankfully, the Ignatius Press Critical Editions enable Catholics and all lovers of good literature to get their hands on a quality version of these great books. These books are not only well made but contain helpful introductions and footnotes to really help the reader get the most out of reading these texts. 
Today, Joseph Pearce, the series editor, joins Andrew Peteprin to reveal the inspiration behind these texts, why every Catholic should have them on their selves, and what works will be published next.

Reclaim the Classics from the Woke w/ Joseph Pearce

We've found the real lost Ark of the Covenant. It's been sitting right under our noses all these centuries.

13: We Found the Lost Ark

If Liturgy is God’s gift to man, then sacred music should immerse us in the atmosphere of Heaven.

Cardinal Robert Sarah was the prefect of the congregation for divine worship from 2014 until 2021, and he has now published a new book "Song of the Lamb" which outlines his thoughts on the spiritually rich tradition of Catholic sacred music. This book was written in dialogue with Peter Carter as the two trace the history of sacred music in the Church and outline the guidelines for sacred music today.
We are very grateful that Peter Carter joined Andrew Peteprin to discuss this momentous work and his active role in putting it together.

Guidelines for Sacred Music at Mass w/ Peter Carter

This year we celebrate the 800th Anniversary of Aquinas’s birth. Known for his holiness, intelligence, and immense love for God, Aquinas is often considered one of the greatest thinkers of all time. But today Dr. Kreeft joins Ben Eriksen to discuss why he thinks Aquinas is the greatest philosopher and theologian.
Dr. Kreeft highlights Aquinas’s depth and clarity of thought, his synthesis of previous scholars, and his integration of faith and reason. While many are intimidated to read Aquinas, Dr. Kreeft points out how approachable he is for everyday thinkers and how intellectually as well as spiritually enriching his writings are for those that read him.

A Timely New Catholic Novel w/ David Pinault

Are you a priest or discerning a vocation to the priesthood or know somebody who is discerning? Then this is the book for you—“Distributed Like Bread” (pre-order for release at 3.2.26) https://ignatius.com/distributed-like-bread-dlbp/?searchid=0&amp;search_query=distributed
Hans Urs von Balthasar is well known for his great contributions to theology, but few know of his practical thoughts on priesthood and discernment. Therefore, in today’s episode, Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo and Andrew Petiprin discuss Fr. Balthasar and how he integrated his scholarly life and his priestly vocation. Dr. Ciraulo points out that Fr. Balthasar never received any formal education in theology beyond his time at the seminar and he sought to remain a student chaplain instead of an academic position. This kept him grounded in his theology and uniquely fit to guide priests and those in the process of discernment.
Dr. Ciraulo highlights Fr. Balthasar’s humility, his intellectual curiosity, and his openness to God. They also discuss Balthasar’s thoughts on priestly celibacy and donatism—the heresy that claims that validity of the sacraments depends on the virtue of the priest. This insightful discussion and corresponding book “Distributed Like Bread” will truly help give all people a greater appreciation for this supernatural vocation.

Hans Urs von Balthasar on Priestly Life and Discernment w/ Dr. Jonathan Ciraulo

It is often said that one can find God in nature, but few have explored the theology behind such a common statement. Join us as Fr. John Nepil talks with Andrew Petiprin about the theological lessons and underpinnings of mountain hiking, which he details in his new book To Heights and Unto Depths. This book and the ensuing conversation artfully weave together theological insights and real-world experience.
 
Fr. Nepil and Andrew examine the spiritual benefits of the outdoors, both the joys of reaching the summit and the lows felt during arduous hours hiking. They also discuss the modern crisis of manhood, the responsibility of leadership, and how the works of theologians such as Von Balthasar, Cardinal Ratzinger, and Luigi Giussani can reveal spiritual wisdom found on the trail. For those who love the outdoors or theology, this episode is a must watch!

How to Make Beautiful Catholic Art w/ Timothy Jones

The hero of the new novel Death in Black and White is a Catholic priest and classic film buff who finds himself caught in a web of crime, sin, and double-crossings that rivals anything found in his favorite film-noir detective movies. The book’s author, Fr. Michael Brisson—also a Catholic priest and classic film buff—may not have real-life experience of being in the clutches of the Mob, but he does know the unique way a priest is privy to some of life’s hardest and darkest moments.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin speaks with Brisson about the graces on offer in the sacraments, the Catholic faith’s unflinching realism about human nature and our sinful proclivities—and how a film-noir tinged crime novel can be the perfect vehicle for exploring these themes and more.

Mature and Sensitive Topics Discussed in This Episode
Today, more than ever, we are suffering from the ramifications of the sexual revolution that began over 50 years ago. And in this episode, Dr. Nathaniel Blake joins Andrew Petiprin to discuss why the Church’s teachings on human sexuality are correct and why abandoning them has led people away from true human flourishing.
Dr. Blake addresses many of today’s hot button issues ranging from abortion, sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, and transgenderism. He emphasizes that by embracing God’s mercy and returning to a traditional understanding of human sexuality will ultimately lead to greater happiness and fulfillment. If you enjoy this podcast, then make sure to pick up a copy of Dr. Blake’s new book “Victims of the Revolution: How the Sexual Liberation Hurt all of Us.”

Most of us have forgotten how to praise and, therefore, how to be happy. Let's change that right now. How? The Psalms.

20: PRAISE 101—What the Psalms teach us about happiness

"Dark energy" is a scientific fact, but nobody is talking about what it proves: there is something beyond this universe—something very, very powerful indeed.

64: Astrophysics Point to God [Science and Love, pt. 2]

War is bad. Slavery is evil. But what happens when Jesus comes face to face with someone who's wrapped up in both?

33: How Would Jesus Treat a Slaveowner?

Jews are God’s Chosen People, and it is through God’s gratuitous gift of grace that the rest of the world (the Gentiles) are grafted onto the tree of salvation.

Pope Pius XI once remarked, “Spiritually, we [Catholics] are all Semites,” and, as Saint Paul writes in Romans, in a sense, Christians are Jews by adoption. In today’s episode, Andrew Petiprin is joined by Professors Angela Costley and Gavin D’Costa, who examine the question of Jewish–Catholic relations from every angle. They not only discuss how the Church is uniquely opposed to antisemitism, but also how the Church is deeply rooted in Judaism. Finally, they discuss the reality of Hebrew Catholics and their role in the Body of Christ.

Can You Be a Jewish Catholic? With Dr. Costley and Dr. D’Costa

The current crisis of masculinity is rampant in our society, but few have responded to this cultural moment like Mike Pacer in his new book “Prayers for Catholic Men.” Instead of encouraging men to simply gut it out and take responsibility, Mike encourages men to fall on their knees, and he provides them with the resources to encounter God in a meaningful and profound way. “Prayers for Catholic Men” not only teaches men how to pray, but it provides many unique and personal prayers that men at any stage in their life will resonate with.
In this episode, Andrew Petiprin sits down with Mike Pacer to talk about the common struggles men encounter when praying and what resources they can use to strengthen their spiritual life.

Learn how God’s grace is always active in both patients and doctors by reading Dr. Collin’s new book “You Visited Me”  https://ignatius.com/you-visited-me-yvmp/?searchid=0&amp;search_query=you+visited+me
 
Dr. Robert Collins is a leading oncologist who joins Andrew Petiprin today to talk about his experiences as a Catholic doctor in a major modern medical center. He tells stories about patients who experienced God’s graces of physical and spiritual healing. He also marvels at the Christian witness to the faith within the medical system, which influenced his own conversion from agnosticism to Catholicism. His experiences show us that God’s love is always present even in the most difficult and tragic circumstances.

Being a Catholic Doctor in the 21st Century w/ Dr. Robert Collins

God gives EACH of us—laymen, priests, nuns, monks, bums—our own gifts. If only we'd accept them!
