For College Catholics Fr. Patrick Wainwright, MC

In 1858, our Lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in a Grotto, in Lourdes, France. On May 21, 2024, I went with 15 volunteers to serve at the Shrine in Lourdes. We stayed there for seven days. Jack Fedewa and Anna Wilberding were two of the 16 volunteers. Today they share their experiences, their stories, and what they brought back with them from this amazing trip to Lourdes.

Are we supposed to always obey human authorities? Does their power come from God? What is the Common Good? Today we address the importance of Civil Authority for the well-being of our human society, and what is that civil authority supposed to preserve and promote in our community. Don’t miss this great episode!

Just as God is a community, a Trinity of Persons, so too, man—who is created by God—was made to live in community. This social aspect of man is embedded in our human nature. Today I talk about how the human society and even the civil authorities are willed by God. I also talk about the principle of “subsidiarity”. Don’t miss this great episode!

The Seven Capital Sins or Deadly Sins: Why are they called “Capital”? Are they sins or vices? What are some examples of each of them? How can we oppose and overcome them? Today we address with Deacon Benjamin these topics that can be so eye-opening for your spiritual life!

Today I interview Fr. Michael Ward. He is an Englishman, a Catholic Priest, and a literary critic and theologian, with a special expertise in the writings of C. S. Lewis. He will share with us insights on C. S. Lewis’ works and gives great recommendations on why read his works and which are the most important from his point of view.

During the Sacred Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, we could identify different ways in which people offended God. We have Judas, who was instrumental in capturing our Lord; St. Peter who denied Jesus three times; some of the Pharisees; there was Pilate himself, who could have released Christ. And finally, there were the Roman soldiers. There were sins of word, deed, omission and thought. We will discuss these different types of sins in today’s episode.
