What We're Dealing With Catholic Podcast

We take a break from the cloffice and set up in the living room for a (somewhat) deep dive into the actual definition of fasting and a conversation about whether giving up other things (like television or video games) constitutes actual fasting. We discuss how fasting keeps us spiritually awake, counteracting autopilot behavior, and how fasting constitutes one of the two wings of prayer that makes our prayers (and penance) even more efficacious.

The gang pontificates on how important it is to read original church documents, especially in the light of the changes the church has seen since the Second Vatican Council.  

We discuss this in light of the recognition that the language is often dense and difficult to understand.  These documents call us to a greater and deeper holiness.

Hosted by Greg and Jennifer Willits from the Adventures in Imperfect Living Podcast and Mac and Katherine Barron from the Catholic in a Small Town Podcast.
