“Mere Christianity” should lead quite naturally to “Mere Catholicity.” Pentecost marked the un-babeling of the world. In the Church, fragmented humanity is put back together by the power of the Spirit. So we must be about the business of putting the Church back together. If Christianity embraces “one Lord, one faith, and one baptism,” then we must …

For many Protestants, October is "Reformation Month." How should we regard that period? What good, if any, can come from a 500 year old protest movement?

A rejection of creeds and confessions leads to popery; a multiplied million little popes scurrying about with their own private interpretations, adjudicated by a magisterium of one. In such a state, one risks becoming…

In this inaugural episode, we consider the tradition that formed us and the ways in which God’s command to “honor our fathers” has led us to where we are now. When “leaving loud and proud” seems to be the order of the day, we explore a humbler, more honorable way.
