The Sacred Heart Devotion: Ancient Origins

Support My Work & Bonus Content: Patreon.com/AnthonysTongue Ghosts are integral to Catholic spirituality, however, we rarely emphasize it. Though, turning to things like the theology of Thomas Aquinas, but even more powerfully also communion of saints and spiritual warfare and the holy mass, we see the power and necessity of spirits in our faith. Join me as we discuss how saints from heaven, hell and purgatory can visit the faithful, intertwined with stories detailing ghosts in Catholic spirituality. Further Reading: Purgatory Explained: Fr.

Here are a few of the topics we'll be discussing: Do we "have" to believe in the supernatural elements of Catholicism? Why would God give the stigmata? Why is the stigmata through the palms rather than the wrist? How do we know if the mystics and saints weren't just suffering from mental illness? Are supernatural experiences demonic?! Is it always demons?! Should we strive for experiences in prayer? & more! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stanthonystongue/support
