Forgiveness--it's not as easy as you might think.  You can forgive but not forget... or so we that's what we've always been told.

Are Catholics allowed to take part in ghost hunting?  What about watching ghost hunters? Eric and Dan attempt to put it all in plain words. 

What do Catholics think about haunted houses?  Do they believe in ghosts (or rather, are Catholics allowed to believe in ghosts)?  We tackle these questions in light of the upcoming Holoween holiday... as well as the book Eric will soon be publishing: THE HAUNTED DAUGHTER OF CINCINNATI: Ghosts, Demons and Angels in the Queen City. 

This week it's movie night.  Dan & Eric discuss the somewhat surprising Christian (and even pro-life) message in two modern movies: Gone, Baby, Gone & Children of Men.  Both movies were well executed and reflect a high degree of talent from the directors, writers, & actors. 

In this episode of A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric answers the ultimate question: why aren't there more black Catholics... to him, the answer seemed simple, but Dan points out some other reasons.  Then they discuss the real meaning behind the parable of the talents, explaining that God expects more from those of us with a Catholic upbringing.  Also discussed--whether Jesus cheated in Marco Polo when he was a kid.

In this episode of A Podcast About Catholic Things, we talk about Jesus and His Passion, focusing on how he presents his suffering to us as a way to comfort us in our own pain. 

This podcast covers some adult subject-matter.  In this podcast, we talk about the Pennsylvania scandal in the Church and why this will continue to happen in the foreseeable future… and why it was preventable. 

We make mention of a book that was written in the eighties by Enrique Rueda, called The Homosexual Network, which turned out to be very prophetic in its criticism of the Church and the way homosexuality was being handled.

We discuss the third and final temptation of Christ--the one that's possibly the most difficult to understand.  After all - why would God, who is already master of everything, bow down to Satan, in order to gain control over the world?  But Dan throws it all into perspective, giving us an insight most haven't thought of before.

In current events, we discuss Trump's possible victory in the war over abortion--and how that might look if he did actually win.

Satan tempts Jesus for the second time... but how was jumping off a cliff tempting in any way to Jesus? And do we sometimes 'tempt the Lord thy God', in ways we don't realize?

This podcasts discusses the first temptation Jesus suffered from Satan in the dessert.  Why is turning stone into bread a sin?  Why did Satan think his temptation would work?
