Popes Against Modern Errors

Season 4

On this season's inaugural episode of "Pastoralia," we pick up where we left off last season, in the second of two episodes devoted to understanding Catholic parenting and child rearing.

My, how these children have grown in just a few months! Diapers and strollers have given way to increasingly independent pre-teens and teenagers. It is on these older children that we focus in this episode, again steadying ourselves on perennial Catholic thinking, rather than the absurd and dangerous maxims of the world.

We begin our discussion with the Fourth Commandment, which requires us to honor our parents, not merely to obey them. Should a child need to be corrected, we address how to reprove a child without cultivating an unhealthy fear of his parents, while keeping in mind the words of St. Paul, "Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged" (Col. 3:21).

Our conversation continues as we explore how to cultivate independence in our children, teaching them how to make their own wise decisions, but in such a way that still protects their souls and bodies from danger.

Children learning a healthy, Catholic self-reliance often benefit from a good balance between the demands made in maturity and a continued need for recreation. In this portion of the episode, we find out that balance is critical.

What, then, of a child who has become so disproportionately filled with a spirit of independence that he rebels against his parents or the Church? We work through this particular effect of Original Sin, and offer a means of choosing to control and harness rebellion, directing it against those vices which are worthy of adolescent contempt.

Finally, we ease our way into dating and courtship, not only as part of the process of choosing a state of life, but as something which requires care and virtue to be practiced by the young. Fraught with the potential for serous spiritual harm, we also explain the need to keep the home as a spiritual safe haven.

Join Fr. Stephen McKenna of St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio (and many mission chapels) and host Joshua Gunsher in this month's episode of "Pastoralia."

Pastoralia, Episode 9: Catholic Parenting (Part 2)

In this episode of Pastoralia, we take a few steps backward from our look at Catholic child rearing to discuss the Catholic ideal of courtship.

Blind and infatuated worldlings date in order to date, with perhaps only the remotest thought to the permanence of marriage. Why, then, does a Catholic not merely date for the sake of dating? We begin our episode with a look at the purposes of courtship, which extend well beyond compatibility testing.

Next we speak about the spiritual aspect of courtship and, for all the good which may come out of it, the necessary near occasions of sin it requires. How is a Catholic to court virtuously?

Before moving any further, armed with the knowledge of the purposes of courtship, Father discusses who is — and who isn't — someone to pursue in a courtship. Avoiding stock answers, we look at not only the most basic requirements, without which a marriage would lack a common foundation, but, beyond the necessities and although not strictly required, how compatibility between two potential spouses is something not to be dismissed as somehow worldly and uncatholic.

Knowing why and with whom, we then ask when is the right time to consider marriage, to which the whole of courtship is directed. Is a difference in age fatal to the endeavor? Is it to be desired? How does maturity factor in?

On the topic of maturity, we confirm that the man who fails to pursue a woman in a courtship, instead expecting her to engage him, not only hasn't met his responsibility as a man, but probably did not deserve the chance he wasted in not approaching her in the first place. A harsh truth indeed! This manliness (action, not braun) required for courtship, has long been under fire by those who preach equality of the sexes.

Once a couple has entered into a courtship, we discuss how long a courtship (and eventual engagement) should last. During that time, is constant chaperoning required as the virtuous thing to do?

Finally, we close our episode with family issues which may arise during a courtship. Should the idea of "marrying a family" be an issue — especially if the family doesn't like you or your family doesn't care for the person you've invited to Christmas dinner? What about objections voiced by parents against the potential marriage: Should this be fatal to the nuptials?

Pastoralia, Episode 10: Dating and Courtship

Holy Mother Church, in Her maternal care for Her children, not only gives us time to prepare for Her feasts by periods of penance, but applies gentle spurs to us to prepare even for our preparations.  Never is there liturgical whiplash: the liturgical year slows down before it turns.

On Easter Sunday, the peal of organs and the resounding cry of the Gloria will return after a long absence.  To ready ourselves for the joy of the Man-God's conquest of death in His Resurrection, we who are bound to do so have the long penance of Lent imposed on us.  And while Lent prepares us for Easter, the Church provides us even with a preparation for this extended period of fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.  The preparation for Lent?  This is Septuagesimatide, which runs from First Vespers of Septuagesima Sunday(nine weeks before Easter) through Compline of Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent.  We explore this preparation-for-the-preparation in this month's episode of "The Liturgical Year."

Also in this episode, we venture into the Canon of the Mass for the saints whose feast is celebrated on March 6, Sts. Perpetua and Felicity.  These martyrs, one a noblewoman and the other a slave, provide unparalleled examples of heroic and — though mothers — manly strength to win their heavenly crowns.  Their story, however, is largely unique in that it was penned by St. Perpetua herself, only to be to be completed by a first-hand witness to their gruesome yet glorious martyrdoms.

Join us as host Joshua Gunsher talks with Father Charles McGuire, assistant pastor of St. Gertrude the Great Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio and priest to many mission chapels across the United States, about the upcoming season of the Liturgical Year and these two great saints in the Roman Canon.

The Liturgical Year, Episode 7: Septuagesima, Saints Perpetua and Felicity

Before the great crescendo of Lent in the Holy Triduum — Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday — the Church acts out the Gospel for Passion Sunday on that same day: "They took up stones, therefore, to cast at him. But Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the Temple." (John 8:59). This season within a season, Passiontide, commemorates the events of our Lord's sacred Passion, but does so with our Lord hidden. The crucifixes, veiled in violet, along with images of our Lady and the Saints, hide as He did. Join us in this month's episode of "The Liturgical Year" to learn how, during this two-week period of Passiontide, the sights and sounds in the churches make clear that day by day we are drawing ever closer to Calvary.

We also explore the life of the patron saint of Nigeria, St. Patrick, who also happens to be the apostle of Ireland, an island nation off the west coast of Europe. St. Patrick's rapid evangelization of Ireland and his successors' warding off a return to paganism, led the "Isle of Saints and Scholars" to be responsible not only for maintaining much of Western Civilization (when much of Western Civilization could not be bothered with doing so), but for the eventual missionary conquest for Christ of much of western and northern Europe. And to think that St. Patrick wasn't even Irish...

Finally, we take a look at what is required for the bread and wine ("the species") used in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. How did missionaries, in lands far away from the wheat-growing and vine-tending corners of the world — like Nigeria or Ireland — provide for valid and licit matter for the Holy Eucharist?

Join us as host Joshua Gunsher talks with Fr. Charles McGuire of St. Gertrude the Great Roman Catholic Church in West Chester, Ohio, as well as priest to many mission chapels across the United States, about this upcoming season within a season, a saint, and the species.

The Liturgical Year, Episode 8: Passiontide, St. Patrick, And Valid Matter

New for Season 4 of Restoration Radio, Stephen Heiner will sit down with His Excellency, Bishop Donald Sanborn and discuss a number of encyclicals from the time of Pope Gregory XVI all the way to Pope Pius XII.

While not intended to be a comprehensive analysis of each encyclical, nevertheless each episode will examine important points of each encyclical both within the context in which they were written and what pertains to us in our present time.

But before we can examine these encyclicals, in the introductory episode the Bishop explains to us how encyclicals originated, to what degree(s) they are considered infallible, and who should study them (hint: you!).

While this series will be subscriber-only, meaning, a la carte downloads will not be available, this episode, as is the case with all "zero" origin episodes, is free as a way of previewing the show for the season.  Enjoy!

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 0: Introduction

When asked to name 2-3 of his "favorite" encyclicals to be covered this season, with an exception for Pascendi, Bishop Sanborn named Mirari Vos. Coincidentally, it is also the first encyclical we will examine this season.

In writing Mirari Vos, Pope Gregory XVI was dealing with the ongoing fallout of the French Revolution and the "restorations" that had happened superficially, but had not gone down to the root. He addresses many errors prevalent at the time that are simply part of what we live with today: so-called "freedom of conscience," "freedom of the press," and the error of indifferentism: that any religion can save you.

Enjoy His Excellency's timely and relevant commentary on timeless Magisterial writing.

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 1: Mirari Vos

After a bit of absence due to a sickness, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn returns to the airwaves to discuss the next encyclical in this series, His Holiness Pope Pius IX's Quanta Cura and the accompanying Syllabus of Errors. Bishop Sanborn begins by discussing the reign of the Pope in broad strokes and then sets the encyclical within a historical context. He also goes on to discuss its infallibility before digging into the text.

Join host Stephen Heiner as he walks through this important Catholic document with the Bishop and goes over a number of condemned propositions...propositions accepted by both the world and the Novus Ordo Sect.

Topics covered include:

So-called "Liberty of Conscience" and VII's Dignitatis Humanae
The need and the right for the Church to have property and temporal power
Evolution of dogma
Indifferentism
The Absolute State
The necessity for the Roman Pontiff to reconcile himself to "progress" among other things.

Enjoy His Excellency's timely and relevant commentary on timeless Magisterial writing.

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 2: Quanta Cura and the Syllabus

Do today's Catholics really have a proper sense of “right government”? While the secular world of today and the Vatican II sect in the last 50 years have done much to destroy order, the sense and reasons behind governance, and the proper and Catholic attitude of obedience, all such issues were addressed in 1881 by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII in Diuturnum Illud.

Listen as His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn guides listeners through this masterful encyclical, discussing the roles and duties of rulers, the Church’s positions on forms of government and elections, where power truly lies (hint: not with the people), a reflection on the Holy Roman Empire, and a reminder that the Church has no ambitions to rule temporally, only to ensure temporal safety and happiness en route to the most important goal of this life: eternal life with God.

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 3: Diuturnum Illud

"Liberty" is the theme of the encyclical covered in this month's episode of Popes Against the Modern Errors. This is a masterful teaching encyclical by His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII, this longest of the writings we have covered this season. His Holiness explains the definition of liberty, its relationship to good and evil, the relation of the intellect and the will to liberty, and all the implications that follow not just for good society and government, but the importance of the relationship of Church and State for a harmonious society.

Host Stephen Heiner walks through the encyclical with Bishop Donald Sanborn, the regular guest for this series, and relates the timeless points of this work to the timely questions of today.

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 4: Libertas Praestantissimum

In this first of two episodes, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn discusses the first half of this great encyclical on the use of capital and labour.

Written to counter the rise of socialism all over Europe and in the United States, Rerum Novarum reads like a text book in moral theology for both employers and employees alike.

The show discusses the encyclical in both its historical and contemporary context and goes some way to explain the governmental and economic system under which the world currently toils.

Popes Against Modern Errors, Episode 6: Rerum Novarum (Part 2)

In this first episode on Pascendi Dominici Gregis of Pope St Pius X, His Excellency Bishop Donald Sanborn joins us to provide a commentary on this most significant of Papal encyclicals.

Written to expose and condemn the doctrines of the modernists at the start of the 20th century, this encyclical is the defining document of this great Pope Saint’s life and perhaps the most important document to have proceeded from the Vatican in hundreds of years. It served as an alarm call and a condemnation of those most pernicious adversaries of the Church who seek to utterly overthrow Christianity itself.

This show is the first of a total of 3 shows to be recorded on Pascendi. There is much more to follow.
