Catechism of the Catholic Church: A Sure Guide Cardinal Arinze

For anyone that really has no clue or very little clue or wants a better understanding of what the Catechism is and how should we use it and where did it come from then this talk is for you.  Cardinal Arinze did a wonderful job of unpacking the subject and it gave me a real thirst to get much better acquainted with the CCC which I now know means Catechism of the Catholic Church.  I guess that is a "Duh" but not for me.  This accent is a little thick but still very easy to understand.  Also, the bonus preview talk from Scott Hahn about the Pope was awesome too.

Francis Cardinal Arinze energetically draws from his experience to help us see the practical value of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) today, which was given as a guide to living our daily lives in accordance with Holy Scripture and the Sacred Traditions that have been passed down to the Church through the Apostles. The CCC is intended for use by all Christian faithful, and Pope John Paul II declared it to be "...a sure norm for teaching the faith"- Fidei Depositum.

Called to be Saints Relevant Radio

This was a very nice collection of different radio interviews about some of our Saints.  One of the interviewees actually spent time with Mother Teresa.  One of the last interviews was about some of our Saints that are Incorruptible.  I seem to always forget we have over 300 Saints that were found this way.  This interview alone was worth the listen.  Then at the end there was a very nice talk and a very good reminder about "New Evangelization" that Pope John Paul II spoke internationally about.  Another great talk as well.

Building Better Families Matthew Kelly

This is a must order for any parent raising a family.  The 5 key points of this CD were just pure Genius.  I am going to do my best to read my notes from this talk and start living them.  One statistic alone blew me a way.  The couple that prays together have a 1 in 2000 chance of getting a divorce compared to 1 in 2 of ones that don't.  That one thought is just the tip of the iceberg.  I am sorry this is not a download but is truly worth the order.

Wow I had no idea about what a great Man Blessed Pier was.  A truly great story of a modern day future Saint. It also made me take a second look at our eight Beatitudes that I overlook way to much.  Also, the bonus story on Brian Walch was a big eye opener to me and it make me believe there is hope for all of us after listening to this bonus story.

Thank you so much for this talk! This has provided me the encouragement and assurance that a poor sinner like me truly can become a saint. Jeremy - Haubstadt, IN
Wow! I now have a new understanding of the word 'saint' Cecelia - Cincinnati, OH




Born in 1901 in Turin, Italy into a family of wealth and status, Pier Giorgio enjoyed good friends, hiking and skiing, museums and music, and was involved in political action, He found that deep prayer, service to the poor, and a passion for bringing others to Christ led to a life of purpose, peace, and happiness. Pier Giorgio died at the age of 24 on July 4, 1925. He was beatified on May 20, 1990 by Pope John Paul II who referred to him as a "man of the beatitudes".

BONUS: As a teenager, Brian Walch had everything the world tells us we should want. While still immersed in our modern culture, he had a radical deepening of his Catholic Faith which led him to his martyrdom for Christ in 1975. His cause for canonization has been opened.

Click here to Download or Purchase CD

This was gut wrenching listen to what happened in Mexico and what happened to so many Catholics in defense of our faith less than 100 years ago.  I learned things about Freemasonry and much much more about Church History.  It left me with more respect and Love for Mexico and more understanding of our Catholic roots.  Wow came into my mind many times during the talk.


In this vivid and eye-opening presentation, Patrick Madrid explores the history of the systematic persecution of the Catholic Chuch in Mexico in the 1920's. With a thorough review of the historical facts, he recounts how many thousands of Catholics, priests and laity alike, were willing to endure terrible sufferings and martyrdom for their fidelity and love for Christ and their Catholic Faith. This is an important talk for all Catholics to hear and consider.

Dr Sri did a great job on explaining how we are changing the Mass and why.  I highly recommend getting this one and play it as many times a possible before November.  The booklet is very hand as well with a sheet included to take to mass.  The talk gave me much to ponder and really helped be focus on some awesome parts of the Mass I had not thought about before.



Dr. Edward Sri, Professor of Scripture and Theology at the Augustine Institute, provides a fascinating explanation of the new English translation of the Mass which will soon be put into practice. This is truly a great opportunity for Catholics to enter more deeply into the biblical and theological richness found in the liturgy, and to better worship God with our whole heart.
