"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
I don’t think it’s news that the Catholic Church is in a mess at the moment. This prompts many non-Catholics to ask: why are you still Catholic. Listen to Joe Heschmeyer and Chloe Langr from The Catholic Podcast give their answer by clicking on the image below:
Today I will be discussing theosis with Joe Heschmeyer from Holy Family School of Faith. He writes at Shameless Popery and is also on The Catholic Podcast. Earlier in the year, Joe came to San Diego and gave a presentation on the subject of theosis, so I invited him onto the podcast to help give us a clear Biblical basis for this doctrine which Lewis discussed at great length in Mere Christianity.

Since I gave up listening to podcasts for Lent, I haven’t been able to listen to Joe Heschmeyer‘s new podcast, “The Catholic Podcast”. Listen to it for me and tell me what you think?
This past Friday, Joe Heschmeyer was on Catholic Answer Live, the audio of which is available here. Joe was talking about one of my favourite subjects, Church History. In particular he was talking about how many of the early controversies in the Church can’t really be explained from within a Protestant framework.
For example, in the Early Church there was a breakaway group in AD 311 called the Donatists. These were rigorists who insisted that the sacraments administered by clergy who had been compromised during persecution were invalid. This was a major issue within the Church of the Early Fourth Century…but it’s an argument that makes no sense within most Protestant frameworks.
If you are interested, the article where he draws out these ideas is available below:
Recently my friend Joseph Heschmeyer from Shameless Popery was on the radio programme at Catholic Answers. He had previously been on the show once before, talking about Where we got the Bible.
This time he was on the show speaking about The Eucharist in the Early Church. The episode came to the attention of my favourite (and I do mean that!) anti-Catholic apologist, Dr. James White. Bravo Joe 😀
Tune in to watch live or watch the maiden voyage of The Catholic Five Talk Show. It’s a great panel of faithful Catholics have an insightful conversation about various and timely aspects of Catholicism and Christian Living relative to our faith and world. Among The Catholic 5 crew there are some names which should be familiar to any reader of this blog:
Katrina R. Fernandez: The Crescat at Patheos Catholic Channel
David L. Gray: DavidLGray.INFO
Joe Heschmeyer: Seminarian and Writer at Shameless Popery
Brantly Callaway Millegan: Founder and Editor of Church POP
Kevin M. Tierney: Associate Editor of Catholic Lane
The topics are going to include the recent Planned Parenthood scandal, Pope Francis’ recent encyclical, as well as the recent SCOTUS ruling. The show will begin in less than three hours:

My friend Joe is studying at the North American College in Rome, where he’s surrounded by brilliant English-speaking Catholics from around the globe: classmates, professors, and various luminaries who pass through their halls while doing more important things. Together with some of his classmates, they’ve decided to take advantage of this fact and create a regular Catholic podcast: interviewing experts in liturgy, theology, Church history, and several other fields.
The result is Catholic Bytes podcast (CatholicBytesPodcast.com): it’s designed to be frequent (once or twice a week), short (under 10 minutes), clear (we’ve got multiple reviewers doing quality control), and orthodox. Oh, and the first episode got released today…enjoy 🙂
