Hello,

It’s been over two weeks since my last podcast… sorry for the delay. On Oct. 1^st I will be taking a Customs Broker exam so I have been spending every opportunity to study and prepare for this rather rigorous test. Your prayers will be greatly appreciated.

What’s coming for The Catholic Hack!? Well, I will be recording a “How to” series with Catholic Apologist, and friend, Rob Gasper on how to handle yourself when the Door bell rings and you are confronted by a Jehovah Witness. This will be a terrific series that will be a very informative and useful tool to equip you and allow you to give a reason for the hope that lies within you.

I’m also planning to start a series on the Mysteries on the Rosary. I want to take this opportunity to discuss the Church’s teaching on praying to the saints, repetitive prayer, our Blessed Mother, the economy of Salvation, and scriptural meditation.

Thanks in advance for your patience during these last few weeks with out another The Catholic Hack! Installment. In the meantime… do me a favor and go to iTunes and leave me a review. Lets get out the word so more good Christians can Dive Deep and fall in love with their faith.

God Bless

Welcome back to The Catholic Hack!

In episode no 14 I wanted to take on the discipline of the Priestly celibacy. Notice I didn’t say the doctrine but the discipline… that’s because its possible that the Church could change this to having the “norm” for Latin Rite Priests to be married. I wouldn’t put my money on it but its possible none the less.

The beautiful thing about Priestly celibacy is that it is a foreshadowing to the state we can all expect once we enter into the beatific vision in heaven. I other words… once we are joined to God for all eternity we are neither marred nor given in marriage (Matt. 22:29).

When we take the words of Jesus and St. Paul in conjunction with the words of Isaiah and Jeremiah… its easy to see how the Priest is obeying Jesus by becoming a eunuch for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are giving up all they have to follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They are the Eunuch’s whom the King of Kings trusts with his bride… The Church.

God Bless
