Part 2 of my Bible series with Cardinal Burke is focused on the New Testament. In this conversation, we get into some of the biggest questions in the New Testament. Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Why did the Messiah have to come? We also discuss the return of Christ, the end times, and what the Bible says comes after death.

You're watching the official preview for what we covered on Thursday, the new testament.

A non-Catholic has been spending too much time around Catholics. 😂

He has observations.

Unfortunately, they are extremely accurate.

Watch this.

Friends, for the wokeist philosophy that dominates today, empathy—feeling the feelings of the other and not harming those feelings—is treated as a supreme value. But while empathy is perfectly good and decent, the Bible teaches that love, not empathy, is the supreme value. And love does not mean, primarily, feeling the feelings of the other or not hurting those feelings; it means willing the good of the other—and that can be, as Dostoevsky said, “a harsh and dreadful thing.”

A journey through time: the incredible baldachin and apse of Santa Maria Maggiore. ⛪️

In the heart of Rome stands one of the four papal basilicas, a jewel that holds centuries of history, art, and devotion: the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Often described as the most beautiful church dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the world, this basilica enchants visitors with its architectural magnificence and artistic treasures. One of the most breathtaking views is undoubtedly that of the high altar, framed by a monumental baldachin and surmounted by the apse.

The image captures the eye with the imposing baldachin dominating the high altar area. Supported by four majestic red porphyry columns, wrapped in golden vines, the baldachin is a masterpiece of sculpture and engineering. This structure, attributed to Ferdinando Fuga (although some elements suggest the influence of Gian Lorenzo Bernini), serves as a visual focal point, drawing attention to the most sacred area of ​​the church. The coffered roof, richly decorated with gold, adds further depth and splendor to the space, reflecting light and creating an atmosphere of divine solemnity.

But the true gem of this vision is the apse behind the baldachin. The apse is entirely covered in gold mosaics, a work of art dating back to the 5th century and remarkably well preserved. These mosaics, commissioned by Pope Sixtus III, are not merely decorative; they are visual narratives of biblical scenes. The central image shows a majestic depiction of the Coronation of the Virgin, with divine figures surrounded by an infinite amount of detail, angels, and saints. The light filtering through the windows below enhances the glow of the gold, creating an almost mystical effect.

Santa Maria Maggiore is more than just a church; it is a living museum spanning millennia. Its walls have witnessed centuries of pilgrims, artists, and historical figures.

Today (August 27) we celebrate Saint Monica, a model of Christian motherhood whose persistent prayer, patience, and unwavering faith led to the conversion of her family and son, Saint Augustine.

Quick facts every Catholic should know about Saint Monica:

Her extraordinary life reminds us never to despair when praying for loved ones who have fallen away from the faith. Saint Monica shows that quiet perseverance, tears, and trust in God's mercy can soften even the hardest of hearts. May her intercession give strength to all mothers and spouses today, guiding their families toward the love and truth of Christ.

@laralogan Yea. That’s a weak minded idea. Why don’t you renounce your catholic faith because Judas sold out Jesus? Don’t shy away from the fight. We are being tested and need God and each other!
