Faith Questions

We are always interested in hearing your questions about the Catholic faith. Feel free to call us and ask about any question you have. We will do our best to answer it and will try to find some experts we can interview who will help us find the best answer to your question.

Please feel free to call in with any sort of question. In fact, the question you have may also be a question that many of the other listeners have as well. If you call us with your question, you’ll be helping us and all the other listeners get to know our faith even better.

Episode #30 – Creative Catholics

Feeling creative? Our guest this week is Fr. Jim Tucker, the host of the Catholic Creativity Podcast. The Catholic Creativity Podcast attempts to melt popular culture and theology for use in the living the Gospel out in the world. We share a ton of feedback, discuss the SQPN Giving Campaign, and in the news Nick tells us about a new iPhone app called Airlock.

To start off the show, we have some great lines to use, including one about loving shortnin’ bread. For the news, we talk about a great new piece of software that Nick found called Airlock and Wired Magazine’s contest to name the new earth-type planet that was found this week.

Episode #29 – Holiday Deliciousness

Let’s learn about some delicious holiday food! We have Jeff Young, the Catholic Foodie on the show to talk about Christmas cooking and yummy food. Jeff shares some recipies and some thoughts about bringing your family together at the table for Christmas. We also discuss our favorite holiday movies, along with some exciting SQPN news and the SQPN Giving Campaign.

After the 3 J’s we talk about the What’s My Line segment. Nick and Pat forgot to fit in Barb in Nebraska’s land Greg from Kentucky’s lines from last week… Jeff helps us out with fitting them in while Nick goes a little crazy with the bell and the buzzer.

In the news we discuss the SQPN Giving Campaign! To keep SQPN.com being an amazing successful network we’re asking for your support. Please prayerfully consider donating to SQPN. We also talk about some cool iPhone happenings as well.

Episode #28 – Affluenza

Have you ever caught yourself “keeping up with the Joneses?” It’s something that happens to the best of us. We have Bill Scholl, the social justice consultant for our archdiocese, on the show to talk to us about “affluenza” and how it affects our society. We feel that it is a very important topic as we move into the holiday season.

To start off the show, we have Bill give us a re-cap of his booth at the National Catholic Youth Conference. For the thematic park, he put together a monopoly board to help high school students realize the faults in the immigration system. Learn more by visiting the NCYC virtual pilgrimage.

Episode #27 – NCYC 2009

Have you heard of CFCA? It stands for the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. In this episode, Pat interviews a representative of the CFCA at the National Catholic Youth conference in Kansas City. This past week, along with Paul Camarata of the Saintcast, we represented SQPN at NCYC 2009.

To start off the show, we run through our three J’s and have two Thanksgiving-themed lines to fit into the show. We’ve got a few creative ideas on how to fit in the phrases. In our news section, we talk a little bit about NCYC and have some great feedback from Fr. James Tucker of the Catholic Creativity podcast and from Greg and Jennifer Willits, of Rosary Army.

Finally, to round out the episode, we have a special Catholic challenge for you this week and then a piece of feedback on Thanksgiving traditions from one of our listeners.
