Blessed Fulton Sheen: Who Was the Man Behind the TV Screen? w/ Dr. Cheryl Hughes
This Thursday, Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be beatified so we are joined by Dr. Cheryl Hughes, a Sheen scholar, to talk about his life and work. Get Your Copy of Fulton J. Sheen: God’s Great Communicator: https://ignatius.com/fulton-j-sheen-fjslip/?searchid=0&search_query=fulton Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen: Conver Maker: https://ignatius.com/archbishop-fulton-j-sheen-afsp/?searchid=0&search_query=fulton Blessed Fulton Sheen was beloved by Catholics and non-Catholics alike, and his teachings and lectures were widely viewed on both ratio and TV. But his personal life and upbringing are often overlooked. So today, Dr. Hughes talks about the personal side of Fulton Sheen—his childhood, education, and daily life. She details how he got his name, his life as a farmer, what he ate, his time as an altar server, and much more. In many ways, he is an example of an ordinary man that God worked through to do extraordinary things for Christ, His Church, and even America at large.

Receiving God’s Mercy After Performing Abortions w/ Dr. Bruchalski
Dr. Bruchalski is an ex-abortionist, but more than, that he is a son of God the Father, and he joins us today to talk about sin, God’s mercy, and the future of the pro-life movement. Get Your Copy of “Two Patients” Here: https://ignatius.com/two-patients-tpp/?searchuuid=632eed35-1b58-42da-91d9-87e7242f0b57&search_query=two+patients A repeat visitor to the Ignatius Press Podcast, Dr. Bruchalski is a well-known doctor who serves women of all ages through Tepeyac OBGYN. He has written an amazing book “Two Patients” where he describes his history as an OBGYN who performed abortions, but then later reverted to Catholicism and her authentic teachings on faith and morals. However, today we will focus less on his own personal story which was the subject of our last episode with him, and instead zero in on what he learned from his conversion and years in the medical field. He and Ben Eriksen discuss his reasons for joining the medical field and how the devil slowly tempted him and misinformed him. They also discuss what parents should do when their children fall astray and what doctors should do when their patients seek immoral treatments. Finally, they examine the future of the prolife movement after the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. This is an enlightening discussion which demonstrates the mercy God offers to all of us.

St. Augustine’s Recently Discovered Homilies Highlight Why Everyone Must Read Him w/ Mike Aquilina
This year, two of St. Augustine’s homilies were discovered, and while the details have not yet been publicly shared, Mike Aquilina argues that they highlight the unique Augustine moment that the Church is currently experiencing. Get Your Copy of: Aquilina’s “Rabbles, Riots, and Ruins” https://ignatius.com/rabbles-riots-and-ruins-rrrp/ St. Augustine’s “Confessions” https://ignatius.com/the-confessions-saint-augustine-of-hippo-7cp/?searchuuid=e147758e-c4e3-4308-9060-b26c58678b8c&search_query=confessions Watch “Restless Heart” here https://ignatius.com/restless-heart-rhrtm/ St. Augustine is quoted in the catechism more than any other theologian; the newly elected Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian; and now two of St. Augustine’s homilies are discovered. We are truly living through an Augustinian moment, and so we are delighted to have Mike Aquilina back on the podcast to discuss this Father of the Church as we celebrate his feast day and the end of August. In this episode. Mike and Andrew discuss why everyone should read St. Augustine, where to begin with his works, and why his writings are so relevant for us today. Mike beautifully captures the heart of St. Augustine, and Mike’s passion for this great saint is infectious to all who listen. We highly recommend this episode and Mike’s books for those who know little about St. Augustine or for those who are lifelong devotees and want to learn more.
