Patrick Madrid

You are in for a treat this week, as I will be gone!  Barbara will fill in and would like to introduce you to one of our favorite apologists, Patrick Madrid.  He has a marvelous blog, often linked on the NewAdvent home page, and is one of the most forceful, quick thinking, convincing of our group of modern Catholic speakers.  I say quick thinking because he is one of a handful who have CDs of actual live debates with Protestants.  These are wonderful and challenging to hear.  I hope you will enjoy this week's session.  We are off next week so no class on April 25.  We will resume on May 2 and that may be our last session of the year.

Fr. John Corapi

We are drawing to a close for the year!  Class tomorrow, April 18, May 2 and May 16.  Not to taxing a schedule I trust.
This week we will have a look at and a listen to Fr. John Corapi.  Many of you are already familiar with him, as he is on EWTN every Sunday evening at 8pm with his long running series on the Catechism.  I will be bringing the corresponding audio CD set to class to show to you, and we will be listening to one of his CDs on SCANDAL!.  Please do not miss it....he is a very powerful, indeed a fiery speaker and is not to  be trifled with!  If time permits we also have some video of him that we can explore.  He has been to Chattanooga for a retreat and is in high demand.  I have placed a link to his website vis his name above and also on our links page.  He has a subscription web site as well that you might want to explore.  We have had his powerful conversion story in our CD case, and I can provide a copy to you should you wish to hear it.  An amazing story to be sure.
