It is no secret that there is a crisis of masculinity in the modern world, and this topic is talked about repeatedly by many specialists and commentators. But in today’s episode, Joseph Pearce takes a different tact because he argues that part of the crisis of masculinity can be resolved by reading good books.

Andrew Peteprin joins Joseph as they characterize the crisis of masculinity, discuss why most poets are men, and reflect on the works of two greatest male Catholic authors—J.R.R. Tolkien and G.K. Chesterton.

Tess Livingstone is the author of the definitive biography of George Cardinal Pell and recently we were blessed to sit down with her in person to discuss the life, work, and imprisonment of this influential cardinal. She details his upbringing and imprisonment as well as his work with Pope Francis, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope St. John Paul II. Finally, she gives some insight into the personhood of Cardinal Pell and some lesser-known stories about vocation journey and interactions with the poor. We continue to pray for the repose of the soul of Cardinal Pell and are grateful for his many years of service to the Church.

Everybody wants to have better relationships, whether it is with their friends, the person they are dating, their spouse, or God Himself. Today, Dr. John Cuddeback joins Ben Eriksen to discuss these types of friendships, as well as virtue, happiness, and even dating. Their conversation draws on the wisdom of Aristotle as well as a relatively unknown Saint Aelred.

Dr. Cuddeback’s practical wisdom is extremely helpful for all ages, but most especially the young as they develop new friendships and consider dating and the vocation to marriage.

Among Catholics, there has been a lot of talk about “synodality” and a “synodal Church” over the past few years. Pope Francis even called a synod on synodality. But what is synodality, and why is it important to the Church? Is it even relevant for Catholics in the pews? Does it undermine the Church’s mission or past teachings?

Today, Cardinal Ouellet joins Mark Brumley to explain what synodality is, why it is important, and what are its inherent risks and opportunities. We are grateful for the opportunity to speak with his Eminence because he was involved in the most recent synod on synodality as well as the four previous synods. He also worked with Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis and served as the Prefect of the Dicastery of Bishops for ten years. Therefore, today’s episode and his recently released book “Word, Sacrament, Charism: The Risks and Opportunities of a Synodal Church” provide valuable insight into synodality and into the mind of the Church as she chooses to promote greater synodality.
