  • Episode 1 of The Social Doctrine of the Church with Michael Vacca and Robert Fastiggi

    Episode 1 of The Social Doctrine of the Church with Michael Vacca and Robert Fastiggi
    2025/07/16
    Podcast 1 (July 15, 2025):
    1. What is meant by the social doctrine of the Catholic Church?
    2. Many claim that Catholic social doctrine only began with Pope Leo XIII's 1891 encyclical, Rerum Novarum. Is this accurate? Are there not biblical and Patristic roots to Catholic social doctrine?
    3. What do you believe are the key principles of Catholic social doctrine? What do you focus on when you teach courses on Catholic social doctrine at the Catholic University of America? How does the social doctrine of the Church relate to issues of war and peace?
    4. Some Catholics believe the Church should stick to spiritual matters and not enter into discussions on social matters (e.g. on the environment, immigration, economics, etc.). How would you respond to such Catholics?
    5. Is there a hierarchy in Catholic social doctrine? Some people are concerned that the "seamless garment" approach puts all social issues at the same level. How would you respond to these people?

    6. Why is it important for Catholics to know about the social doctrine of the Church?

    Interview conducted by Michael Vacca and Robert Fastiggi of Prof. Joseph Capizzi, Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies of the Catholic University of America: https://trs.catholic.edu/faculty- and-research/faculty-profiles/capizzi-joseph/index.html

    In this episode of WCAT Radio's "I Thought You'd Like to Know," Bishop Joseph Coffey interviews Mo Moured on Cross the Divide Ministry (June 11, 2025)

    Cross the Divide is helping veterans and their families navigate the challenging terrain of life, promoting healing, hope, strength and growth by application of Christ-centered, biblical truths in the venue of God’s creation.

    Cross The Divide provides transformational experiences in the venue of the outdoors such as hunting, fishing, backpacking, horse camping, and llama packing trips, as well as retreats and seminars. With the assistance of track chairs and an incredible team of guides and facilitators, we are able to accommodate physically disabled veterans on some of our hunting and fishing trips. Through the personal care and attentiveness of our team, we give veterans a place to talk about their non-physical wounds and personal challenges as well. Cross The Divide is focused on sending each veteran back to their family and their community in a healthier place while connecting them with other veterans and inviting them to a deeper relationship with God.

  • Episode 7 of Synods and Synodality: George Weigel on the Concept of Synodality and its Impact on the Catholic Church (April 9, 2025)

    Episode 7 of Synods and Synodality: George Weigel on the Concept of Synodality and its Impact on the Catholic Church (April 9, 2025)
    2025/04/09
    In this episode of Synods and Synodality, Robert Fastiggi and Michael Vacca interview George Weigel on the concept of synodality and its impact on the Catholic Church.

    George Weigel emphasized that synodality in Eastern Christianity involves governance by synods of bishops, unlike the current Western interpretation. He highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong doctrinal identity and moral boundaries, citing Sub-Saharan Africa and Germany as examples.

    Weigel praised John Paul II's contributions, including his personal witness, interpretation of Vatican II, and the Theology of the Body. He also discussed the need for a return to the teachings of Veritatis Splendor to address moral relativism. The conversation concluded with reflections on the future of the Church and the importance of hope.

  • New Books Network - Almost Good Catholics on Lived Experience and the Search for Truth (April 5, 2025)

    New Books Network - Almost Good Catholics on Lived Experience and the Search for Truth (April 5, 2025)
    2025/04/07
    “What is truth?” Pontius Pilate scoffed at Jesus (Jn 18:38), and that’s how we think about matters today in our culture—subjectively: my truth, your truth, etc. To make the argument that there is a knowable Truth (with a capital T) that is written in the world and in our bones, theologians Deborah Savage and Robert Fastiggi examine a selection of autobiographical accounts of ‘lived experience.’ They take a number of personal essays written by those who have erred from the path of Catholic social teaching and sexual morality—in the dark forest of the world, to borrow from Dante—and their subsequent disappointments and suffering. They examine these narratives through the anthropology of John Paul II and the authority of the physical and social sciences, including medical doctors. So, there is Good News for all of us: if we find ourselves lost and unhappy in our errant meanderings, the Church can bring us home. We can always choose, as God reminded Cain gently (Gen 4:7), “sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you may overcome it.”
