Two Edge Talk

Christianity 101: just what IS a Christian, anyway?

Let's get down to foundational basics: what does it mean when a person declares himself to be a "Christian"? According to wikipedia.com, a Christian is:

"...a person who adheres to Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, who Christians believe is the Messiah (the Christ in Greek-derived terminology) prophesied in the Old Testament Hebrew Bible, and the Son of God".

OK- there's a mouthful, but does it really tell us what makes one a Christian? In this day and age, can modern society even agree on a definition of who is truly a member of the "Christian" community? This week's podcast begins to tackle this question.

Visions of Mary- It's All About the Message!

How would you feel if you wrote a heartfelt letter to loved ones, and they seemingly ignored the content of the letter and focused on the type of stationery you had selected?

This may be how our Blessed Mother feels in the wake of some of her appearances on earth (often referred to as "Marian Apparitions").  Mary is believed to have revealed herself to us on many occasions throughout the centuries (for example, at Guadalupe, Fatima, Lourdes, and many other places).  All too often, we have been so fixated on the signs and wonders that we have neglected to take to heart the message being delivered.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and ... Ralph?

In this week's podcast, Cyndi and Deacon Tim share some personal thoughts about the Holy Family (Jesus, Mary and Joseph). Deacon Tim also give some provocative thoughts about the Holy Family through the unlikely lens of a book by Ralph Nader (yes, the famous consumer protection advocate with a tendency to run for president)!
