This year, two of St. Augustine’s homilies were discovered, and while the details have not yet been publicly shared, Mike Aquilina argues that they highlight the unique Augustine moment that the Church is currently experiencing.

St. Augustine is quoted in the catechism more than any other theologian; the newly elected Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian; and now two of St. Augustine’s homilies are discovered. We are truly living through an Augustinian moment, and so we are delighted to have Mike Aquilina back on the podcast to discuss this Father of the Church as we celebrate his feast day and the end of August.

In this episode. Mike and Andrew discuss why everyone should read St. Augustine, where to begin with his works, and why his writings are so relevant for us today. Mike beautifully captures the heart of St. Augustine, and Mike’s passion for this great saint is infectious to all who listen. We highly recommend this episode and Mike’s books for those who know little about St. Augustine or for those who are lifelong devotees and want to learn more.

The Catholic Church has a lot of different types of meetings from Church council meetings to nationwide assemblies. But today Paul Senz will discuss the biggest and most important type of councils—ecumenical councils.

There have only been twenty-two ecumenical councils since Ascension of Christ, but each one has had great impact on the life of the Church. The most recent ecumenical council was the Second Vatican Council. Our guest today, Paul Senz, has written a book about the councils and joins Andrew Peteprin to talk about what a council is and why they are important. The two also will discuss the ongoing effects of Vatican II and hypothesize whether or not we will see another council in our lifetime.

Fr. Elias Guadalupe Ford is the editor of the Ignatius Press Pew Missal which is an annual subscription-based worship aid to give Catholic parishes access to traditional chants, melodies, and antiphons. The goal is to meet the average parishioner where they are at and then introduce them to a liturgical resource that is consistent with the directives of the Church.

Paul Senz also has worked on the Pew Missal, and he joins Fr. Elias discuss how to encourage a reverent Mass in the Novus Ordo and introduce a reform of the reform following Vatican II. For musicians, music directors, and priests, this episode will be of particular interest as you direct the minds and hearts of the parish to the heart of the Church—Christ present in the Eucharist.

Trent Horn joins us to provide Catholic answers to many common Protestant objections to the Catholic faith.

A well-known apologist, Trent Horn discusses his well-researched and articulate book “The Case for Catholicism” where he addresses the Protestant objections to the Catholic teachings on Mary, purgatory, justification, and Tradition. In today’s episode, Trent not only talks about his book and what makes it unique, but he also touches on a couple of the responses to these objections to give listeners a taste of a much larger commentary in the book. We highly encourage people to purchase this book if they want to have a more fruitful discussion with their Protestant brothers and sisters. We pray for them and ourselves as we continue to encourage them to join us in the fullness of truth and into full communion with the Church established by Jesus Christ.
