Summary: Welcome to Catholic apologetics, led by Dr. Jim Dobbins, Author of Take My Hand: A personal retreat companion. This is a podcast of class we hold each Sunday after the 5:00PM Mass at our parish, St. William of York, in Stafford, Virginia. Just finished an RCIA program? This is the next stop on your faith journey. In these classes we look at the different truths of Catholic doctrine and why we know they are true. We also discuss spiritual growth, examine the liturgy of the Catholic Mass and do scripture studies. Please encourage your friends to listen. I also encourage you to leave a comment about our podcasts. I post any related document files, such as slides or other documents, which can be downloaded from our web site at http://yorked.podomatic.com. We are now discussing the Diary of St. Faustina. Because the Diary is too large to really do a complete study, we will use the Concordance to pick topics and discuss what the Diary says about those topics. You can order the Diary of St. Faustina and the Concordance from the Divine Mercy Center in Stockbridge, MA, or from an on-line Catholic Book Store like the one for which a link is provided in the next paragraph. I also recommend you get a marvelous CD titled Welcome to the Catholic Church, from Harmony Media. This CD can be ordered from Ignatius Press, the 101 Foundation, or from your local Catholic book store (ex: http://realcatholic.com/ in Richmond, Va). This CD is a huge treasure trove of material on the Catholic Church, including two searchable bibles, the Catechisms, Council documents, and many, many other documents. I highly recommend it, and it is a genuine bargain. Please invite your friends to join us. I also invite you to visit Meg Jaworowski's bible study class which can be found at http://www.catholicbiblebootcamp.com and http://catholicbiblebootcamp.podomatic.com. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is a particular topic you would like to see addressed.
