Hello All,

Just wanted to share with you some exciting updates for The Catholic Hack! I had a great conversation with Carl Olsen, author of “WILL Catholics Be ‘Left Behind’”?, the other day and will post it on Monday 12/3/07. In December we have very exciting interviews for you such as Mike Aqulina author of Mass of the Early Christians, Tim Staples professional Apologist from Catholic Answers, John Martignoni (take 2) from the Bible Christian Society and EWTN Open Line, Patrick Madrid from Envoy magazine and many books such as Pulp Fiction.

In January we are lining up Matt Pinto of Catholicexchange.com and Envoy magazine, and Christopher West who has gives amazing talks on Theology of the Body.

Some interviews I’m still trying to get nailed down are with Dr. Marcelino D’Ambrosio, Jim Burnham, Mark Brumley, Jim Caviezel, Eduardo Verástegui (Bella), Alejandro Monteverde (Bella), Leo Severino (Bella), Michael Barber and Dr. Brant Pitre. I would appreciate your prayers in getting these interviews set up. Also… almost forgot… Adam the Catholic (http://adamthecatholic.blogspot.com/) asked me to reach out to Dinesh D’Souza which I have done…. just waiting for a response.

I have been talking about it and (I am really excited to bring it to you) its coming I promise… it’s the series on the salvationhistory.com course material. I want to encourage you to register with the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology now and read the first lesson @ http://www.salvationhistory.com/Online/intermediate/covlove.cfm. This will give you the jump on the program which I hope to have to you soon.

The series on the Rosary is also coming very soon. I just need to coordinate with Greg and Jennifer Willits, from the Rosary Army, for the first episode. Stay tuned.

I want to say congratulations to Yavonn from Tulsa OK who sent in feedback on the homework assignment in Ep. No 25 about the Todah offering. Check out the comments (http://catholichack.blogspot.com/2007/11/catholic-hack-episode-no-25-vain.html) for more info. I will be sending Yavonn a Catholic Hack T-Shirt this week.

Thank you all for your support and positive feedback. Especially to all who have left me a review on iTunes. It’s great to see The Catholic Hack! climb the ranks, at the iTunes store, and ultimately reach more and more people for the Glory of God alone. Please consider leaving me a review at iTunes today. Also, please pick up a Catholic Hack! T-Shirt for Christmas at Nielsen Design Studio Web Store today!

God Bless you

Taerk has a great message to share with us about living and working our faith in daily life. Tarek’s pro-life, man of God, message in life, and in business, is refreshing and inspires us to stand up for what we believe to be true.

Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. (King James Version)

Welcome Back!

Today, I wanted to share with you a great conversation I had with Apologist, and Radio show host, John Martignoni. The problem with that is the conversation was cut off, after an hour and a half, and the file was lost… never to be heard again. This is what you get when you deal with a Hack like me.

I do, however, have a 7 minute fragment from the “Lost interview with John Martignoni” that I will share with you today. The Audio quality is not so good but I think it will serve as a teaser for the “mulligan” interview I will conduct in December.

Today, we also discuss Matthew 6:7 and weather or not Catholics are in violation of Jesus’ words about “Vain Repetition” when we pray the Rosary (for example). Have a listen and send me your feedback.

Also, the first one to send me some feedback on the “homework” assignment will get a free Catholic Hack! T-Shirt. Listen to the podcast for more details.

I pray that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

God Bless

Welcome Back!

Thought I might send out a note with some up and comings for The Catholic Hack! podcast. My interview with John Martignoni, of EWTN Open Line and www.biblechristiansociety.com, was pushed back to Friday 11/16/07 so look for that to be posted over the weekend.

On Saturday, November 24th I will be recording my interview with Tarek Saab from The Apprentice TV show and Lionheart Apparel (http://www.lionheartapparel.com). Tarek has a strong Pro-Life message and I’m eager to share with you.

On Monday, November 26th I will be recording the first in my series on the Holy Rosary. For that podcast I’m fortunate to have a couple of special guests for you… Greg and Jennifer Willites from the Rosary Army and SQPN (http://www.rosaryarmy.com). We will talk about the history of the Rosary, the prayers, the devotion, and the Rosary Army.

On Tuesday, November 27th I will be recording my interview with Carl Olson author of Will Catholic be left behind. This should be a great discussion on the Catholic position on the end times. Will there be a Rapture? Stick around… let’s talk about it.

Interviews I’m still trying to nail down:
Mark Brumly, president of Ignatius Press, Jim Burnham, Catholic Answers Apologists, and Mike Aquilina, author of The Mass of the early Christians and vice president of The Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology, have all tentatively agreed to be guests but I have not yet secured a date. I have also been trying to reach out to Michael Barber, and Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio (http://www.crossroadsinitiative.com/index.html) but, so far, have not been able to establish contact. Do me a favor… pray that the Holy Spirit will nudge them to reach back as I feel they have a lot to share with The Catholic Hack! listeners.

Great News!
The Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology has given me the green light to use their course material on the podcast. If you have not already done so… go to www.salvationhistory.com and check out what they have to offer. This is a fantastic resource and I think you will agree. After Thanksgiving I will be working on this series, called the Salvation History series, which will be more like an audio bible study that you can follow along with. You will need to register with the Saint Paul Center though (its free) and please tell them The Catholic Hack! sent you.

There’s a lot of exciting stuff coming up on The Catholic Hack! so stick around and enjoy. If you have not already done so… please consider buying a Catholic Hack! T-Shirt today. They are only $11 and all of the money is going to support, not only this podcast, but a Catholic owned business… Catholic families trying to live the Gospel and spread the Good News. Stop by the online store today at http://shop.nielsendesignstudio.com/category.sc?categoryId=20 and pick up a mug and T-Shirt and become a Hacker like me.

Thanks for all the support.

God Bless
