First, where the heck did summer go???  Jeez o man, we cannot believe the leaves are starting to turn already!  You'll probably find this show a little more 'raw' when compared to a typical show.  In the interest of time, we've decided to keep some of the 'screw ups' that we would have otherwise edited out...  hope it isn't terribly distracting!  We hope you agree this is a great show, it's packed with your emails and our responses...  this was truely a listener inspired show, thank you!!!Here's the link to Sarah's eBay storeOn another note, let us never forget 9/11 (a very moving clip at the end of the podcast titled 'Silent Night 9-11'

Hey Gang - Inspiration has struck...  Sarah and I decided to do something a little different this time. We recorded this show using GarageBand on her MacBook outside.  Hopefully the sound quality is acceptable and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that those are frogs in the background.  Honest, we have no clue!  Thanks to everyone who has posted on the web site and sent emails.  As we mentioned a few shows ago, it's your questions and thoughts that are going to shape the show and determine how often they come out for the most part!  Below is an Amazon link to the book recommended by Jason as part of his email on favorite Saints...

Listen Now:

Hey Gang - thanks for sticking with us.  This was a fun show to produce as we worked our way through a couple emails and ended up spending a good amount of time talking about one perticular email of a couple in the early stages of working out this religion thing...  it brought back a ton of memories!Also in this show, I mentioned video podcast Mormon Cast.  It's a weekly video podcast that presents a variety of topics from cooking to LDS movies...  well produced.  Check out the website at www.mormoncast.org **CALL FOR CONTENT***For shows planned in July, we're looking for you to contribute in a couple specific topics.  The first will deal with Patron Saints.  Who is your Patron Saint and why?  Tell us a little about this person and why they are so special to you.  The second topic will deal with the topic of Exorcism.  Not sure how deep or where this one will go, but it should be interesting!!!Thanks to all who visit the website and have voted for us at Podcast Alley!

Although I'm sure some of you have already seen this video from our website, I thought it would be nice to share with all and the timing couldn't be better, right?Sarah and I are so happy on this day when those of you who have walked the long journey through the RCIA classess with curiosity, excitement, perseverance and prayer. TODAY IS THE BIG PAYOFF!In this video, you see Sarah come into the Catholic Church along with several of the friends we came to know so well during the classes. Although the shots don't really show her face too often, you can sorta figure it out. She took on the name 'Anne'. Father Tom presided over the Mass (and married us as a little side note).Please share your experience with us!!! If you were received into the church this year, tell us about your experience, was it what you had hoped it would be? How did you feel receiving Our Lord during Communion for the first time? We REALLY want to hear what it was for you...send pictures...voice mails...emails...anything. Welcome Home...

Here's a special CMP that I had to get out to everyone. Ray provided a wonderful reversion story and I accidently didn't include it in April's show. It's good... real good and something that anyone who has gone down the road of a mixed faith relationship can associate with. The original text of his story can be found HERE. As I mentioned in the beginning, I tried my best to translate his post for ease of reading in the show (and I hope I did a good job).After listening to this show, you'll understand the picture a little better, but it is just one of many examples of how Sarah is a little more laid back than Rob.

Listen Now:

Hey Gang we hope you enjoyed this month's conversion stories and we're really looking forward to the feedback we (hopefully) will receive to the many LDS questions we presented throughout the podcast. In this show we also mentioned two new Catholic podcasts that we subscribe to and really enjoy. They are:The Catholic Adventurer Podcast and The Catholic Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses Podcast Music played during the conversion story was provided by the Podsafe Music Network. Many thanks to Jim Farley for his beautiful songs Silver and New Beginnings. Jim's website can be found HERE

This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands, but Sarah is unable to assist in putting a show together. After watching this (assuming it works), I'm sure you will understand why we prefer the audio format. I've got a face for radio... Anyway, thanks for indulging me as I play around for a couple minutes.

Yep, it's a bonus CMP cast filled with your emails, discussion on the US Supreme Court and our thoughts regarding a fellow CMPer's situation at work.Two web sites were mentioned in this podcast:HERE is the link to Julie's Happy Catholic Blog.

Listen Now:

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers as we stood by Alan and his Friend. It's hard to understand why things happen when they do. Our faith in God props us up when we feel weak. Plans known only to Him slowly become revealed to us over time. No one can say why things happen in the moment, but over time the answers become clear in most all cases.Please pray for the soul of Alan's Friend as he has come home to Our Lord and witnessed the face of God.

Listen Now:

OK, short and sweet on the show notes. We share a few thoughts as a result of the posts and emails for November's conversion cast.Sarah has a few interesting observations on the types of responses and a little challenge of her own to all of us as we head into the Christmas Season. Finally, below is an Amazon link to a Little People Nativity set that we bought our children last Christmas. We loved using this toy as a tool to teach our kids about this special time of year and wanted to bring it to your attention. Thanks again for staying subscribed to the show and please email or send us an audio comment with your family traditions for this special time of year. ...oh yea, one more thing - Don't forget to VOTE for the CMP!

Update - 11/17/2005First, I'd like to thank everyone who stood by us in prayer as we prayed for Alan's friend. It is with a heavy heart that I pass along the news that his friend has been called home to Our Lord. Additional details will be be given in an upcoming podcast, but I know many of you are checking here frequently for any type of update.Please keep the soul of Alan's friend in your prayers and feel free to share any additional thoughts on this blog entry.This podcast is an appeal to all the CMP listeners, Catholic Podcasters and the general Christian community for your prayers. After listening to the emails I read in this roadcast, you have to agree with me that Alan's friend is a very special person - people like this are rare in the world today and he needs our help.Please mark November 14th on your calendar and keep his friend in your prayers that day.Additionally, please post a comment, thought, reaction or whatever else you feel compelled to do here on the blog for all to see.OK, I think I may have screwed up the posting of this show a little. In iTunes, it appears that there are two Roadcast #2 shows...one is only the first 6:04 of the show and the second appears to be the full installment. The name of the good show is 'Roadcast #2 - Appeal to the CMP Community' Please not that this one does NOT have the word 'An' toward the beginning...oh boy...what a mess. Anyone know how to remove a failed iTunes entry??? Please email me and I'll be happy to fix this - catholicmormon@gmail.com Thanks and sorry... --rob

Just a quick link from this showHERE is the link sent to us regarding Fatherly blessings given to children.Please add your pin to our CMP world map using the 'Where are we?' banner link toward the top left of our home page and VOTE for the CMP at Podcast Alley if you're enjoying what you hear. Those two activities really are the best ways to repay Sarah and I for pulling the show together.Many thanks to those who have been with us for a long time and a HUGE welcome to any new listeners we may have picked up in the past week.Let's make this the best religious podcast out there...

Listen Now:

Two podcasts in one day? What??? Well, as we kinda expected, the emails are flooding in regarding the Christian debate and how that term should be defined and applied. I really needed to put together this short Sarah's Corner podcast to make sure that our basis for stating that Mormons are not Christian is clear. Hopefully after listening, you'll agree that it has nothing to do with the use of the name 'Jesus Christ' or the purpose for which he was sent...Secondly, it's time that the show move on to other interesting topics and stories. We've spent a lot of time on this debate and I think we're all better for having talked about this difference.Everyone is welcome to continue this discussion, but please use our blog as the means to state your opinion. We appreciate the emails, but think that by keeping the thoughts, questions, responses, challenges, or whatever on the blog everyone can benefit.Thanks for staying with me on this one and I'm ready to move on to other topics...how 'bout it? Sarah

Listen Now:

Finally, back-to-back weekends of new shows!!!Did anyone out there happen to watch Mtv's Real World New Orleans back in 2000? If so, you may recall one of the 'real people' - Julie. She was LDS and at the time, Sarah looked amazingly like Julie - to the point that people would actually stop us to make that very comment (maybe hoping for an autograph if it were true?) You be the judge...We hope you find this to be another great and thought provoking CMP as we continue the discussion on the meaning, form and authority required for a Baptism to be considered valid in the Catholic Church. Please be sure to check out Fr. Finelli's podcast iPadre which can be found HERESticking with the theme of Baptism and in an effort to invite you into our life a little more, Sarah and I thought you may be interested in actually seeing Sarah's Baptism into the Catholic Church. She was received in Easter 2002. This is a BIG FILE to download and I wouldn't even think of trying to watch it without a high speed internet connection, but I think most people these days should be OK. As I mentioned in the podcast, I have edited the full ceremony to only hit the high points and when Sarah is involved. Hope you enjoy!Watch Sarah's Baptism HEREFinally, we would like to thank everyone for voting for us at Podcast Alley and for staying subscribed. If you haven't voted for October, please do so...we're slipping! Thanks again and please post your thoughts on the blog and get those conversion / reversion stories in to us for November! Peace, --rob

Listen Now:

This is a great show and we thank everyone for continuing to spend a little time with us. Please continue to post your thoughts and thanks for staying subscribed! In it, Sarah talks about becoming a saint and asks the question of whether or not you think certain people should have a fast track to sainthood - such as the case with Pope John Paul II.HERE is the link to a fellow CMP listener who mentioned the show (Thanks!)Below are the scripture references Rob did not read during the show from Eric:We pray to the Father in Jesus' name. This is evident when we begin our prayers with "Our Heavenly Father" or "Our Father in Heaven" and close in the name of Jesus. This doctrine is founded in scripture. Jesus taught "pray to thy father... after this manner... Our Father who art in Heaven." (See Matthew 6:6-9, 3 Nephi 13:6-9). Why do we pray to God, the Father, and close in the name of his son, Jesus? Because Jesus is the great mediator. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6.) Christ was the great exemplar and the first to be resurrected and exalted. He went before showing us the way to follow to obtain salvation. His mediating relationship is also evident from what the apostle John taught -- that "we have an advocate with the Father... Jesus Christ." (1 John 2:1) He knows each who come unto him. Said he: "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." (John 10:14.) As our advocate he will at the last day judge us and present us before the father to plead our case that we did have faith in him and repent, keep his commandments, and were cleansed through his atoning blood. (See John 5: 22, Rom. 14: 10, 3 Ne. 27: 16.)And finally, here is the amazon link to the book The Hiding Place which was recommended by Sam

OK, so I'm going to get my feet wet with a roadcast. Needless to say, the audio quality isn't on par with our 'studio' at home, but I tried my best and will continue to look at alternative mobile recording solutions - that don't cost a lot of $$$.I won't be offended if you don't listen to this entire show, it's just a few of my thoughts from the road.

Listen Now:

At the request of a listener, I share my experiences and thoughts on reversion (coming back, even though I never left) to the Catholic Church. Several topics including my childhood understanding of the mystery of the Trinity, how I felt when Sarah and I started going to church and some experiences while working with high school aged young adults are brought up in this episode.Thanks again to everyone for the letters of encouragement we have received over the past couple weeks and the votes we receive at Podcast Alley!Please let us know if you think a 'Rob Cast from the Road' is something you are willing to give a try. I can't tell you how many times I've said to myself that I wish I had a recorder to capture a thought or feeling I have at random times during the day.Please keep in your prayers those walking the long and winding road of religious exploration and especially those attending RCIA!

Listen Now:

So you're probably wondering what the heck this show is about? Let's just say that this one is a little unusual as we work our way through listener email, talk about a few recent events and share our feelings on how information about the Mormon church is given to those who are potential converts into the faith.Topics in this show include: A visit to our home by Mormon Missionaries A little more detail on obtaining the highest degree of the Celestial kingdome Eternal progression and why it didn't sit well with Rob A 1997 Time magazine interview with the current Mormon President and Prophet Gordon B. Hinckley Response to the 'King of the Couch Challenge"As we post this show, we suspect there will be very mixed feelings about the content and will probably 'stir the pot' a little, but this is probably the most candid show recorded to date. Thanks again to everyone for staying subscribed, voting for the CMP at Podcast Alley and giving your thoughts to our show.

Listen Now:

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by Hurricane Katrina this past week. Sarah and I will be donating all money given to the Catholic Mormon Podcast from now until at least the end of October. Please keep these people in your prayers and if you have the means, please consider making a donation of time, materials or money to help those in need. HERE is a link to The American Red CrossThis is the link to the magazine mentioned during the podcast regarding the differences between the Roman and Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches.

We'll plan on recording the second half of the show later this week.Considering that it's Mother's Day weekend, we thought a show dedicated to Mary, Mother of Jesus was in order. This is a really interesting show that focuses on the virgin birth and how each church interprets this event. Talk about differences!!!

Ok, This is the first 'hot bed', 'button pushing' podcast that we're going to do and we're certain that it will not be the last.

Thanks for stopping by. Sarah and I put together a great show and continue to work on improvements. A special thanks to Dan Tripp at outchurched.com for assisting us with a gmail account. Check out his podcast when you have a chance, they have a interesting concept by realizing that one of the largest Christian groups are those that don't actively practice their faith. Please feel free to contact us at: catholicmormon@gmail.com Send us an mp3 comment or drop us a line to let us know how to make the show even better.

The Catholic Mormon Podcast is a show where the largest Christian faith is crossed with one of the fastest growing religions in the world. Sarah (a former Mormon) and Rob (a cradle Catholic) have had tremendous experiences during their conversion / reintroduction to their faiths. Although this was a very personal journey, we believe there are thousands of you out there who are walking a similar path. Our intent with this show is to say that we've been there, done that, got the shirt to prove it. Although we are both Catholic and believe the Catholic Church to be the 'true Church' for all, pounding that message is not really the purpose for this show. We want you to make decisions and want to share our decision making experiences with you. Ultimately, we want to show that open, honest communication and a truely loving relationship can defy all the odds. After listening, please send us your feedback in an e-mail or even attach a brief MP3 audio file that we can include in a future podcast - catholicmormon@gmail.com Thank you, good luck with your personal journay and always keep your heart open to God's will. --Sarah and Rob
