Ave Maria in the Afternoon – October 4, 2024 – Hour 2

We unpack the Sunday readings with Rob Corzine and Sara Harold shares why she asked Cardinal McElroy to reconsider his ban on parishes sponsoring homeschooling in San Diego.

 

“Whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.``

In this Sunday’s Gospel, the Pharisees try to test Jesus by asking of a man may divorce his wife. In response, he asks them what Moses instructed. Later, the disciples try to prevent children from coming to Jesus, and he rebukes them as well. 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.

Trump Calls on St Michael

It’s inevitable that the pagans of our secular culture become wilder as the culture worsens. As our former culture of Christendom recedes further into the distant past, the theologically ignorant show their ignorance in increasingly alarming ways. One such example is the reaction to Donald Trump recently posting the Prayer of St Michael on social media. We discuss it with Paul Kengor.
