Dr. Rudolf Allers, a Catholic Psychologist, earned his M.D. at the University of Vienna. He was a field physician during World War I, which led him to study the effect of head trauma on human personality and behavior. In his study of psychology, he was one of the last students of Sigmund Freud, though he would later criticize Freud's theory from both scientific and religious perspectives. Allers emigrated to the United States due to his ousting by the Third Reich and took professorships at both The Catholic University of America and Georgetown University. He was well versed in Psychology, Philosophy, and Morals, writing articles and books about self improvement from a Catholic outlook, especially encouraging a growth in virtue in the development of one's personality. This episode honors the work of Dr. Allers and encourages, contrary to social stigma, the use of therapy as a valid form of medicine when paired with a Catholic anthropology.

"Thinking is hard." -Owen Phelan, Ph.D. Mankind has been given the gift of intellect, but The Fall has left us with a crippled ability in its application.

Topping. Sophia Institute Press, 2012.

Among the sacramentals of the Church, some which attract much attention, or perhaps raise the most eyebrows among those who do not understand them, are relics. The personal effects and earthly remains of the saints housed in golden shrines are indicative to us of the closeness of the heavenly kingdom, the nearness of the saints.

How to make a good confession.
Conversion of heart toward the Divine Will is something which happens continually through life, but new converts, or Christians who newly realize their call to holiness, often find that the Church isn't the glorious thing they expected. Uncle Screwtape sets his young apprentice-nephew to work to exploit that dissatisfaction.
One of the most important things priests do apart from the Sacraments themselves is preaching. In fact, the preaching of clerics in the Church has sometimes been called the 8th Sacrament because of the essential underlying work of the Lord in the words of the man at the ambo. In this episode, Father Stephen and Deacon Dan converse about their experience of preaching as they begin their active ministry in the Church.
Deacon Dan draws attention to the vestments of the priest using the traditional 'vesting prayers' as the jumping-off point. This is the first installment of a continuing series entitled "The Sense of the Sacred."
