RED-C Roundup

On Wednesday, September 5, 2018, Dcn. Mike Beauvais had a lively interview with Paul Gondreau, professor of theology at Providence College and author of an essay in the new collection from Catholic Answers, Inseperable: Five Perspectives on Sex, Life, and Love in Defense of Humanae Vitae. Part of RED-C's effort to mark and observe the fiftieth anniversary of Humanae Vitae, Prof. Gondreau joined the program to discuss why the teachings of Humanae Vitae can be defended and explained on philosophical grounds without recourse to scripture. Prof. Gondreau's spirited presentation of the document and the Church's moral voice are worth the listen. Enjoy the show, like RED-C Catholic Radio on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @REDCRadio.

On Wednesday, August 15, 2018, Dcn. Mike Beauvais and Pam Marvin concluded their two-part analysis of the New Age movement based on the publication "Jesus, Water Bearer of Life" from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Especially useful in this regard are the questions the document provides that are useful in a self-assessment of beliefs and to use apologetically in conversation with a believer in New Age spirituality. The hosts also devoted significant time in the first portion of the show discussing recent allegations of priestly abuse and immorality in various parts of the country. You can find Part 1 on our Podbean. Enjoy the show, like RED-C Catholic Radio on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @REDCRadio.

On Wednesday, August 8, 2018, Gene Wilhelm welcomed Dcn. Dave Mayes from St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in College Station who is recently returned from making a pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Dcn. Dave gave a description of the experience, some insights into his spiritual state before and after the pilgrimage, and reflected on how he encountered God during his journey.  Enjoy the show, like RED-C Catholic Radio on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @REDCRadio.

On Wednesday, July 25, 2018, host Pam Marvin invited back Dr. Miranda Walichowski for further conversations about the concept of root sin. Dr. Walichowski pointed people to Matt 4:3–11 and the three temptations that Jesus endured in the desert. Together they constitute the root sins of sensuality, vanity, and pride. They explained that conquering root sin depends significantly on what Pam would call good "human formation" and what Dr. Walichowski likened to "preparing for spiritual battle," i.e. hydration, proper nutrition, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Finally, both Pam and Dr. Walichowski highlighted imaginative or contemplative prayer methods as avenues for healing deep woundedness from past root sin.

On Wednesday, July 18, 2018, host Judy Comeaux spoke with Brandon Peice, a former member of her youth ministry at St. Anthony's in Bryan, Texas. Brandon is now a student at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. He came on to talk about how youth ministry brought him to desire a relationship with Jesus Christ and how RCIA fed his hunger for truth and deepened that relationship with Christ through membership in His Church. Now Brandon is a campus minister and takes great joy in helping others undertake this same journey. Enjoy the show, like RED-C Catholic Radio on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @REDCRadio.
