Catholic Spotlight

In our interview, Dave Hartline talks about the evidence of people everywhere returning to their faith in the Catholic church.  He points to the increases in vocations, return of young people to mass, crowds at world youth day, positive films from Hollywood, and much more.  He also discusses the new media outlets on the internet like the work of Fr. Roderick at SQPN and Catholic Radio International.

Dave Hartline is a former Catholic school teacher, coach, principal and diocesan administrator. In addition, he has worked on Capitol Hill. He started CatholicReport.org to answer a call he felt he was getting to assist the Church in the “New Evangelization” which Pope John Paul II often discussed.  The Tide is Turning Toward Catholicism is his first book and the next in the series is being written.

Scott Hahn began his career in ministry as a Presbyterian minister out to show Catholics the error in their ways, but his biblical and historical detective work led him to the conclusion that the Catholic church was the historical church of the bible.  In 1986, Dr. Hahn joined the Catholic church and has since come to be known as ‘Luther in Reverse’ due to the large number of protestant pastors and bible scholars who have followed him on the journey home to Rome.  The tape of his conversion story ‘A Protestant Minister Becomes Catholic‘ is one of the most circulated and listened to Catholic audios over the past 20 years.  He is currently a Professor of Theology and Scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and is the founder and director of the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology.

In our interview, Scott talks about the legacy of John Paul II, his favorite Saint, and his new book, Reasons to Believe.  He discusses the need for a pope as well as why Christ had to die for our sins.  He also touches future books that he is currently working on, Ever Ancient, Ever New, a Catholic Bible Dictionary, and a revision of his doctoral dissertation.

Be sure to listen to Kimberly Hahn talk about Chosen and Cherished.
