Understanding Scripture & Symbolism in a Materialistic Culture

We discuss why going to EITHER the Novus Ordo Mass or Traditional Latin Mass doesn't guarantee a greater participation, the importance of maintaining liturgical practices, the impact of these traditions on faith and community, and the significance of symbols in faith, especially in the liturgy and art. We also discuss how to cultivate a deeper understanding of scripture in a materialistic culture. The discussion emphasizes the beauty of the liturgy and the need for a symbolic imagination to appreciate the richness of the faith.

Matthew Wiseman Converts (Three Times!)

This week, Fr. Sam and I welcome Matthew Wiseman to discuss his unique journey from a Southern Baptist upbringing to exploring the Hebrew Roots Movement to joining the Anglican Church to becoming a Catholic. We discuss everything from the challenges of living a kosher lifestyle in Texas, the significance of practicing the faith as a family, the true Jewish Roots of Christ in the Gospels and why Catholics used to rinse their hands with holy water prior to picking up the Scriptures. We also touch on the sacramental theology of the Mass, how it makes the invisible visible, and why it’s so important we see the reality behind sacraments and symbols. I hope you enjoy this week’s episode of the Tangent!
