It was recently announced that St. John Henry Newman will be the 38th person to be declared a Doctor of the Church. And today, we are blessed to be joined by two guests. First is Bishop Lopes, ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, which is a community within the Catholic Church who celebrate according to the Anglican use. And second is Dr. Jennifer Martin, professor of theology at Notre Dame, who was one of twenty people to personally advocate for John Henry Newman to be declared a Doctor of the Church.
In this conversation, Bishop Lopes and Dr. Martin outline the process of becoming a Doctor of the Church and articulate why Saint John Henry Newman’s teachings make him worthy of such a title.

Fr. Gregory Pine: How the Eucharist Changes Your Identity
Monday Aug 11, 2025
Monday Aug 11, 2025
Oftentimes, we think our identity is something we create, but in today’s episode Fr. Gregory Pine shows us that our identity is found in Christ, present in the Eucharist.
Get Your Copy of his “Your Eucharistic Identity” here: https://ignatius.com/your-eucharistic-identity-yeip/
Fr. Gregory Pine is a well-known priest, Dominican, philosopher, and YouTuber, and today we are so grateful to introduce his new book, “Your Eucharistic Identity.” Andrew Petiprin joins Fr. Pine to discuss what it means to find our identity in the Eucharist. They reflect on the mystery of the Eucharist and even its “weirdness” to the extent that a real substantial change is brought about without any visible change. Fr. Pine articulates a proper understanding of transubstantiation and clarifies how we find our uniqueness and belonging in the Body of Christ.
If you want to deepen your understanding and love for the Eucharist, then this is the episode for you!
