    We are back!  In this episode, we start a new series: "Lunch Pail Catholics".  We interview normal folk; people you see day to day who quietly strive for holiness.  We ask them real questions from real people (not fake questions from fake people) who are not themselves Catholic or even religious.       How does the average man answer life's deepest questions?  Tune in to find out! Questions Covered:-  What is Catholicism?  In your own words, what does it mean to be Catholic? - How does Catholicism differ from other forms of Christianity? - If you were born in India, you would likely be Hindu.  How do you reconcile this with the notion of capital "T" "Truth"?- Why do you need religion?  Is it a crutch, is it that you are scared of death?  - Do you look down on non-Catholics?- Do you think you could ever believe in your religion "to a fault"?- I think tithing is a scam.  And more!  

We discuss the "source and summit" of the Catholic faith, The Eucharist.  Suggested Reading:"The Fourth Cup" by Dr. Scott Hahn"The Lamb's Supper" by Dr. Scott HahnThe Catechism of the Catholic Church The Holy Bible 

We discuss the 2nd of the Seven Sacraments: Reconciliation (Confession).  We also review the 1992 movie "Unforgiven".  

Today we begin our series on the Seven Sacraments, the first of which is Baptism.  We talk about the controversial ending to Game of Thrones, we contrast it to the Lord of the Rings, and we discuss a comedic gem from the 1990s. Also!  We have questions from our listeners!  Repent.  Believe.  Be baptized!  

When is the last time you told someone the Truth? God exists.We are fallen from God. God Himself became Man to sacrifice Himself as a perfect atonement for our sins.Through that sacrifice, we can enter heaven again by following Christ and obeying His commandments. Do you share that with people?  You should.  Jesus said so. 

If Christ be not risen, then our preaching is in vain!  We talk about the true meaning of Easter, and therefore, the very historically real claims of Christianity.  I reflect on the best Lent I have ever had, and discuss why arguing with people often seems fruitless.  We also provide a remedy for that!  We discuss the John Ford movie, The Searchers.  And of course, to shamelessly increase this episode's listenership by 15%, we discuss my predictions for Game of Thrones on HBO.  

Are you going to notice what you give up for Lent?Are you doing anything to benefit the less fortunate this Lent? How are you challenging yourself this Lent?
