| 370 | b8pSR9 | Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time : The Wisdom of Qoheleth | Our first reading for this Sunday is taken from the wonderful book of Ecclesiastes. This Biblical text is made up of the cranky reflections of Qoheleth, an old man who has seen it all and done it all--and finds all of it "vanity and a chase after wind." Why do we attend to his rather sardonic meditations? We do so because it is altogether salutary to be reminded that our ultimate joy is found in none of the goods of this world. So sit down with Qoheleth, pretend he's your curmudgeonly but loveable grandfather, and listen. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Homilies | fatherbarron | 90 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2149_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:42:58.537304 | |
| 9470 | TaicPh | The Catholic Hack! Episode No 58 The One Church | "There Can Be only One" as the saying goes from the 1986 movie the "Highlander". The same is true for the Body of Christ... his Church. There can be only one and today I hope to show you that that Church is not an earthly Church but a Heavenly Church and therefore there can not be a diversity of worship or doctrine... We must align ourselves to the heavenly Church not vise-versa. To know weather or not our Church is the actual Church we should look to that day when the Heavenly Church set down on earth... Pentecost. The nature of that Church can then be applied to ours. IF our does not line up then we should go to the one that does. This is only the beginning of this discussion... it only becomes more obvious from here. So stick around... let's talk about it. | apologetics | Apologetics | joemcclane | 43 | | 0 | Joe McClane | 6 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/19981_thumb.jpg | 2008-08-18 15:32:15.170881 | 0 |
| 1631 | MymAma | Pope Benedict's Document on the Church: What It Really Means | What was the real meaning behind Pope Benedict's recent document on theology and 'the church'? Does a person have to be Catholic in order to go to heaven? The issue that concerned and confused many is discussed in this interview, as Fox News contributor and religion analyst Father Jonathan Morris weeds through the controversy, and talks about what the Pope really meant by his document... and what the media ultimately missed in reporting it.

Episode No 1 | Finally
the first show of my Catholic Podcast. This has been a long time coming and I am excited about this media. During the season of Lent I attended a Mens retreat, here in Houston, where I went to Confession and received absolution for my sins. As a part of the penance the priest told me to start journaling. I tried this but found it difficult to do
not sure why though. I went out and bought a notebook and started journaling but I just could not get my thoughts together and the whole thing felt awkward for some reason. I think this podcast will serve as a journal for me. I cant wait till the next show and I find it easier to verbalize my feelings rather than to just write them down. So if I ramble
forgive me
Im fulfilling my penance. I took the opportunity to spend this first show giving you a bit of a background, as it pertains to my faith walk. My conversion, to the Catholic Church, has been filled with bumps as well as surprises for sure. You know the one thing that has given me great peace though is that I can trust the Church and her teaching. I no longer have to worry about correct doctrine
to use an analogy
I can put it all on black and let it ride. It is either true or its not. Its really that simple! The church will stand the test every time. Now this does not mean that I think, or am saying, that the Catholics, in the Catholic Church, are perfect and sinless, because Im not saying that at all. The Church is filled with sinners
not sure who said this but the Church is a hospital for sinners and not a sanctuary for saints. Good thing to or I would be in trouble. I intend to taking on some specific points, from my conversion, and discussing them in greater detail in future shows. But in the mean time I have posted many links, on my website joemcclane.com, which you can check out for all the detail in the world about Early Church Fathers, Church Doctrine, Greek & Hebrew translations, Theology and much more. I also shared with you what I feel God has called me to
telling people that God is their Father and their Father loves them and wants to hear from them. God wants you to NOT be afraid to pray boldly to him and ask him for a sign to shore up your faith. He is ready and willing to do this for you. Isaiah Chapter 7: 10 - 14 10Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz: 11 Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky! 12 But Ahaz answered, \"I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!\" 13 Then he said: Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel. There was a part that I didnt share with you
. I also feel God calling me, you and every human on the planet to offering up sacrifices for others. I will do a show on this topic as I find this to be huge and worthy of a show all to its self. I felt a moment of great peace this past Lent when I offered up special sacrifices for people who were in great need of a sign from God. God never fails to provide one when we ask. Well thats the first show in a nut shell. So pray boldly and ask God for a sign as he has one ready for you. Pray for me and I will pray for you.

| 234 | yWGftJ | Lazarus and the Rich Man | A concern for social justice runs from beginning to end of the Bible, reaching its fullest expression in the prophets and in Jesus himself. It can also be discerned in the writings and sermons of the Fathers, in the speculation of the great scholastics, and in the social teaching of the modern Popes. At bottom, we are summoned to use the gifts that God has given us for the full flourishing of our brothers and sisters. The commongood must come first. | word,fire,father,robert,barron,christ,sermon,sermons,podcast | Prayer | fatherbarron | 90 | | 0 | Father Robert Barron | 5 | http://ll.mycatholicvoice.com/f/8/2492_thumb.jpg | 2007-11-29 15:41:43.55921 | |
