Summary: Welcome to Catholic apologetics, led by Dr. Jim Dobbins, Author of Take My Hand: A personal retreat companion. In these lessons 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. We have begun our 2008 Summer program, a study of John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. We are using the actual homilies of John Paul II given during his Wednesday audiences. Each is fairly short and we will cover multiple teachings in each lesson. You can download the homilies of John Paul II by going to http://www.EWTN.com, and doing a document library search on Theology of the Body. There are a total of 128 homilies. You can also find the documents on 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. Please also take time to explore our new blog, God and Politics, at http://drjimphdesq.blogspot.com/ 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.
