  • Religious Liberty in America with Dr. Beckwith, Member of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission
    Nov 10 2025

    Earlier this year, Dr. Francis Beckwith was appointed to a select board of scholars to advise the Trump administration on national efforts to protect and advance religious Liberty.

    Dr. Beckwith is a professor of philosophy and Church-State studies at Baylor University, and today he joins Mark Brumey to discuss religious liberty and Vatican II. The two examine “Dignitatis Humanae” and whether or not this declaration, this document, was a development or a departure from the Church’s stance on religious liberty. Dr. Beckwith explains the political role that the Church has played in history and its current place in modern politics. Finally, they discuss the challenges religious liberty faces today. This is a must-watch episode, not because of its depth of thought, but also because of its timeliness and relevance.

    Dr. Beckwith has also written A Catholic Engagement with Latter-Day Saints. Get your copy here: https://ignatius.com/a-catholic-engagement-with-latter-day-saints-celdsp/?searchid=0&search_query=beckwith

  • Can You Be a Jewish Catholic? With Dr. Costley and Dr. D’Costa
    Nov 3 2025

    Jews are God’s Chosen People, and it is through God’s gratuitous gift of grace that the rest of the world (the Gentiles) are grafted onto the tree of salvation.

    Get “From Sinai to Rome” Here: https://ignatius.com/from-sinai-to-rome-fstrp

    Pope Pius XI once remarked, “Spiritually, we [Catholics] are all Semites,” and, as Saint Paul writes in Romans, in a sense, Christians are Jews by adoption. In today’s episode, Andrew Petiprin is joined by Professors Angela Costley and Gavin D’Costa, who examine the question of Jewish–Catholic relations from every angle. They not only discuss how the Church is uniquely opposed to antisemitism, but also how the Church is deeply rooted in Judaism. Finally, they discuss the reality of Hebrew Catholics and their role in the Body of Christ.

Some avoid such things altogether, while others consume such content without hesitation. Eleanor provides a nuanced position as both a mother and the author of the mystery-thriller “A Bloody Habit.” She not only gives guidelines on what kind of things we should avoid, but also how Catholics can use Halloween and gothic novels to enliven their faith.

  • Chesterton’s New Autobiography? w/ Dr. Dale Ahlquist
    Oct 20 2025

    G.K. Chesterton is one of the great Catholic converts and writers of the 20th century, but much of his personal life has remained obscure until today!

    Get Your Copy Here: https://ignatius.com/i-also-had-my-hour-ahhp/?searchid=3228600&search_query=i+also+had+my+hour

    Dr. Dale Ahlquist joins Andrew Petiprin to discuss a book he has been working on for over a decade—an alternative autobiography of G.K. Chesterton. It remains an autobiography because he compiles the scatter writings where Chesterton talks about himself. This unique view of Chesterton reveals more of his personal life that even the most diehard devotee knows.

    In this episode, they discuss the compilation of a very detailed timeline of Chesterton’s life as well as his conversion, his political philosophy, and his relationship with his wife. These details not only reveal a private side to Chesterton, but highlight the extreme holiness of one of the most insightful thinkers of the 20th century.
