Ave Maria in the Afternoon – August 23, 2024 – Hour 2

We conclude our study of John Chapter 6 with Rob Corzine and discuss the meaning of Localism with Dale Ahlquist.

 

``This saying is hard; who can accept it?``

In this Sunday’s Gospel we reach the end of our study of John Chapter 6 and the Bread of Life Discourse, including the controversial “John 6:66” when many of Jesus’ followers decide to turn away from him. We unpack the reading with Rob Corzine.

Robert Corzine is Vice President of Academic Programs for the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. He was received into the Catholic Church in 1994 and has held teaching and advocacy positions for several Catholic apostolates, including work as an apologist and catechetical writer for Catholics United for the Faith and as producer and host of a weekly Catholic radio program on apologetics and evangelization. Host of EWTN’s Genesis to Jesus with Dr. Scott Hahn, Rob holds a degree in Humanities and Catholic Culture from Franciscan University.

Is Localism Our Last, Best Hope?

One of the most misunderstood — and misrepresented — elements of the Catholic Church is her social teaching. It is all too often misconstrued and even held hostage by speculative economic theories and partisan politics. We get a clearer understanding with Dale Ahlquist.

Dale Ahlquist is considered one of the world’s leading authorities on the life and writings of G.K. Chesterton. He’s the author of The Everlasting Man: A Guide to G.K. Chesterton’s Masterpiece, president of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, editor and publisher of Gilbert magazine, creator and host of EWTN’s long-running series G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense, and founder of the Chesterton Schools Network.
