Robert Nixon says, “We need this caution, and prudence, and restraint, in order to keep ourselves focused on what really matters.”This episode of The Commentaries dives into The Imitation of Christ Book One, Chapters 6-11.GET THE BOOK - USE COUPON CODE COM25 FOR 25% OFF:<ul><li>The Imitation of Christ Deluxe Edition: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/44C8ymi">https://bit.ly/44C8ymi</a></li><li>TAN Classics Deluxe Set: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/41iTlUh">https://bit.ly/41iTlUh</a></li><li>The Imitation of Christ Paperback Edition: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/41ayCC9">https://bit.ly/41ayCC9</a></li><li>The Imitation of Christ Zipper Edition: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3LHzHvm">https://bit.ly/3LHzHvm</a></li><li>My Imitation of Christ Pocket Edition: <a rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://bit.ly/3NMXyMK">https://bit.ly/3NMXyMK</a></li></ul>The Commentaries is a podcast series from TAN in which you’ll learn how to read and understand history’s greatest Catholic works, from today’s greatest Catholic scholars.

Like most things we take for granted, the Catholic Creeds have an amazing story—actually a lot of stories. What seem a simple prayers or statementa of faith have fascinating origins. And there is a reason each Creed is so precisely worded the way it is, each word having been fought over with great passion: the Creeds had to be worded just right. This little book is an introduction to the struggles and heresies concerning the truth, as well as the men who fought to hand it down to us. The Catholic Faith: An Introduction to the Creeds discusses important questions like these: Why are they called "Creeds," and how were they used in the early Church?What were the fights, debates and struggles involved in hammering out the Creeds?Why do Christians have a formal statement of their beliefs when other world religions dont?Are the words and concepts of the Creeds found in Scripture, and if so, where?What is the one most crucial, fought-over, and non-biblical word in the Nicene Creed?What are the four important ;marks; of the true Church that distinguish it from sects and denominations?What is the significance of the Creeds' emphasis on the bodily resurrection?Also included are fascinating facts, historical development, arguments for defending the faith, a biblical summary, and much more! Knowing the story behind the Creeds brings to life our fascinating history and beliefs. This book introduces the Creeds as both a prayer and a personal commitment. Here you have the summary of Catholic doctrine in a nutshell: easy to read, memorize, and practice.

Host Conor Gallagher sits down with Dr. Rob Warren, a retired IRS investigator and current professor of accounting at Radford University. With decades of experience in forensic accounting, Dr. Warren is a leading expert in uncovering financial misconduct—particularly within religious institutions, including the Catholic Church.Through gripping real-life cases, Dr. Warren unpacks the mechanics of fraud, the mindset behind it, and the financial blind spots in many parishes. They delve into The Fraud Triangle, analyze shocking scandals like those of Fr. John Mattingly and Cardinal McCarrick, and tackle tough questions: Should priests return to ministry after financial misconduct? Does clerical privilege exist in the courtroom?But this isn’t just about scandal. As Dr. Warren explains, the goal is redemptive: to strengthen the Church, ensure accountability, and protect its mission.This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with transparency, financial integrity, and the future of the Church.CHAPTERS<ul><li>(0:00) Coming Up / Introduction</li><li>(4:14) Rob Warren’s Background</li><li>(6:24) How Did You Get Into This?</li><li>(14:16) Why Talk About This?</li><li>(16:51) The Fraud Triangle</li><li>(21:15) Priests’ Salaries and Allowances</li><li>(24:56) Pressure in the Parish</li><li>(36:46) Examples and Stories</li><li>(40:51) Why Do They Do It?</li><li>(58:46) Is the Court System Easier or Harder on Priests?</li><li>(1:10:52) Sexual Scandals</li><li>(1:18:21) Young Man Defends His Pastor</li><li>(1:23:37) The Curious Case of Fr.

St. Philomena is perhaps the most extraordinary Saint in the history of the Catholic Church. When the relics of this 13-year-old virgin martyress were discovered in the Roman Catacombs in 1802, she became almost overnight one of the most popular saints in the Church, earning the nickname of "the Wonder-Worker" because of the countless remarkable favors that she sent to those who prayed to her. For a century and a half there was a worldwide Catholic devotion to St. Philomena, approved by many Popes. But amazingly, since the 1960s, she has been almost forgotten.This little book by beloved TAN mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan gives the fascinating story of St. Philomena. Fr. O'Sullivan tells of her martyrdom, her miracles, her relics, her partnership with the Curé of Ars, and the great miracle involving Pauline Jaricot, as well as recounting many other true stories of "the dear Little Saint's" generous answers to those who invoke her.God obviously wishes to give out His gifts and favors through the hands of St. Philomena, and it is His will that that we ask her for them. These pages will give new hope to all who need a special friend in Heaven to answer their prayers.May this little book help to open up the floodgates of heavenly gifts so that once again this sweet young Saint will become known by that beautiful title: "Saint Philomena the Wonder-Worker!"

Saint Philomena: The Wonder-Worker

Our heart is too small to contain two loves; being made only for divine love, it finds no rest in any other.Filled with such wisdom, the Thoughts and Sayings of St. Margaret Mary—short quotes extracted from the 3-volume Life and Writings of St. Margaret Mary—is a gem that will become one of the reader's all-time favorite Catholic books. Far from being a mamby-pamby, sweet and simple person, St. Margaret Mary displays in these short sayings that she was an intrepid and redoubtable soul, filled not only with total love of God, but also with absolute courage and constancy—as well as with the greatest humility and complete maturity in the spiritual realm.When a great saint speaks, there is wisdom for everyone. No reader of these thoughts will remain unprovoked or unchallenged—there is something in here for literally everyone! She is especially penetrating on devotion to the Sacred Heart, but she also manifests a world of Catholic wisdom on a host of other topics. The reader will peruse these pages with great profit and interest and will refer to them again and again!

Further Up &amp; Further In: Understanding Narnia by acclaimed Catholic author Joseph Pearce invites readers to return with the eyes of an adult to C. S. Lewis&rsquo;s magical land entered through that most important wardrobe in literary history. Beloved by generations of readers, The Chronicles of Narnia are thought erroneously by some to be &ldquo;mere children&rsquo;s stories.&rdquo; In this volume, Pearce thoroughly debunks the error as he skillfully explains why there is nothing &ldquo;mere&rdquo; about such stories. Rather, the Narnia books contain profound insights concerning the human condition. Pearce, however, goes beyond even that and illuminates the deeper riches and profound truths found therein&mdash;the highest truths, in fact: those concerning God. Join Pearce as he explores the &ldquo;grown-up&rdquo; themes that are so important for a proper understanding of Lewis&rsquo; magnificent creation, including the deep and profound Christian symbolism, extensive literary allusions, and the constant theme of temptation, sin, and redemption. The author of numerous literary works and an authority on the writings of Lewis, Chesterton, and Tolkien, Pearce is uniquely qualified to examine the deeper theological, philosophical, and historical dimensions of the Chronicles. With Pearce as your guide, &ldquo;return to Narnia,&rdquo; and come to understand in new and profound ways that place which has so marked the imaginative landscape of so many. Rediscover your love for Narnia, because &ldquo;wardrobes are for grown-ups too.&rdquo;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

"I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.; (John 6:51-52)There is no greater gift that God has given his Church than this: that the Eucharist is a visible sign of the self-sacrificing love that continues to save the world from sin. On many occasions throughout the history of the Catholic Church, God has provided us with visible proof of the reality of the Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.In Eucharistic Miracles, Joan Carroll Cruz documents 36 miracles that occurred from 800 A.D. to the present day. This book tells of consecrated Hosts that have turned to human flesh, bled, levitated, and have become hard as flint when received by a person in mortal sin. It details the official investigations that have been made into these miracles by scientists throughout the world, as well as the locations of the miracles that can still be venerated today. Eucharistic Miracles also recounts miraculous Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of saints: saints who lived with only the Eucharist for sustenance, experienced raptures, ecstasies, levitations, visions, locutions, and much more&hellip;Photographs of the miracles, the churches they took place in, the art they inspired, and the people involved are included—these add the final touch to a comprehensive, detailed, and extraordinary overview of these Eucharistic miracles.Eucharistic Miraclesis a superb compilation of God's visible testimony of the truth of the Catholic Faith, proving the reality of one of its loftiest mysteries: the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence

Amidst the backdrop of World War II, the great Fulton Sheen wrote Preface to Religion, his first book published after the war ended. As the world was recovering from death, destruction, and despair, Sheen’s timely work tackles the most salient questions pertaining to happiness and sanity. With simplicity and frankness, Sheen declares, “If you do not worship God, you worship something, and nine times out of ten it will be yourself. If there is no God, then you are a god.” Throughout this work, Sheen addresses the perennial subjects of fallen nature, forgiveness, the four last things, how God remakes us, the role of religion in the process, and the gift of second chances.Contrary to the modern world, God does not give us what “we want for our pleasure” but “what we need for our perfection.” Preface to Religion reminds us of education’s primary purpose, which is to train the mind to use freedom rightly. God chose to make a moral universe, but morality is impossible without freedom. And therefore, the reader will see that the body must always serve the soul.Finally, Sheen writes on faith, that “the modern man who is not living according to his conscience wants a religion without a Cross, a Christ without a Calvary, a Kingdom without Justice,” and a pastor “who never mentions hell to ears polite.” For anyone seeking to find true happiness and true freedom, Preface to Religion will be your guide.

Preface to Religion

St. Teresa discusses our Lord’s presence in the very center of our souls, mortal sin, Trinitarian theology, and the distinction between spiritual betrothal and spiritual marriage. At this stage, Teresa says the soul “is far more active than before in all that concerns God’s service” and is even more attentive to avoid offending God in any way.Episode 17 focuses on The 7th Mansions, Chapters 1 &amp; 2.LEARN MORE - USE COUPON CODE COM25 FOR 25% OFF:<ul><li>The Interior Castle (Deluxe Edition): https://bit.ly/42oGlwW</li><li>TAN Classics Deluxe Set: https://bit.ly/3MTGBOz</li><li>The Interior Castle (Paperback Edition): https://bit.ly/3CbAAbe</li><li>The Autobiography of St. Teresa of Ávila: https://bit.ly/43sanBo</li><li>St. Teresa of Ávila: Reformer of Carmel: https://bit.ly/3qpKVOa</li></ul>The Commentaries is a podcast series from TAN in which you’ll learn how to read and understand history’s greatest Catholic works, from today’s greatest Catholic scholars.
