Catholic Spotlight

Bella is truly the most incredible movie to be on the big screen this past year and it has tremendous appeal to people on all sides of the political spectrum due to its incredible portrails of Latinos and its very life affirming message.  We were blessed in this interview to be able to talk with Jason Jones, one of the Co-Executive Producers of the film.  He shared his views about why the movie has such broad appeal and what it was like working with Eduardo Verastegui, Leo Severino, and Alejandro Gomez Monteverde.  He also tells about the many lives that have been saved by Bella so far, and the plans to make sure that many more lives are saved by this movie in the future. 

We also have the special announcement that The Catholic Company has signed on as the official Online Catholic Superstore of the Catholic New Media Celebration.  The Catholic Company is dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith in the new media and is proud to support this historic gathering of bloggers, podcasters, videocasters, game writers, and all evangelists working through interactive media.  Please come to Atlanta on June 22nd to meet us and all the other great people working to spread the New Evangelization in the New Media.

Note: Dr. Scott Hahn was not able to be part of this conversation due to impending deadlines on other upcoming books. 

What happens when students at Steubenville University start reading Dawkins’ Case Against God and fall away from their faith?  Well, the teachers notice, and Dr. Scott Hahn decided to take action.  He teamed up with Benjamin Wiker and together they developed a point by point answer to all of the augements presented by Dawkins.  In this interview, Ben and I, along with Mike Sullivan, discuss the new atheist movement and why many atheists have become mobilized in their attack on God.  We also discuss some of the logical falicies that the new atheists make in their passionate soundbite style arguements that they are making to the masses.  We also talk about how in their mission rid the world of religious ferver and attrocities, they adopt their own anit-religious ferver that has led to attrocities even greater that they ones they rally against.

For those of us who think that the Catechism of the Catholic Church is a little wordy or hard to understand, help is on the way!  Mary Deturris Poust has just written The Idiot’s Guide to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, but you don’t have to be an idiot to appreciate this book.  Tune in to our show this week to find out about what went into the creation of this book, the challenges of condensing the Catholic Catechism to one-third its size, and why this book will be a tremendous resource to all those looking to learn more about the Catholic Faith.

You have heard him for many years doing the interviews on Catholic Answers Live, now take moment to hear him on the other side of the microphone.  Jerry Usher talks with us about his life, his continueing discernment for the priesthood, and how he helped create Catholic Answers Live.  He also takes time to thank all those men in black in a new book called Called by Name.  His book tells the stories of 12 priests and what brought them to their priestly vocations.  This is a perfect graduation gift or ordination gift for anyone who wants to be inspired to follow thier own callings from God.

The pope is coming to the United States on April 15th, and Jim Coffee, vice president of the Papal Foundation, does not know a whole lot about it.  We do, however, have a great time talking about the Papal Foundation and going over the Pope’s schedule for his visit.  We may not know much about it, but at least we had fun getting together.

Today we tried something a little different.  The first half of our interview we talked with Jack McKeon, famed former manager of the World Series Champion Florida Marlins.  He talks about how he practiced his faith as a player and a manager, and how he watched out for his players spiritual lives as well.  Next, we talked with Tom Allen, president of www.CatholicExchange.com, about the new Champions of Faith DVD and what makes it different from the original.  Listen in to learn why the original Champions of Faith was such a bestseller and why Bases of Life is a great companion to the original.
