The Confessor

1. No priest can give absolution who has not received the faculties for hearing confessions from the bishop of the diocese.
2. Priests who are duly authorized to hear confessions have not power to absolve from all sins, since there are certain sins which the Pope or the bishop has reserved to himself for judgment. (Council of Trent, 14, 11).
3. In the confessional the priest stands in the place of God; therefore the penitent is bound to yield him obedience.
4. Under no possible conditions may the priest repeat anything out of the confessional,
5. Every Catholic is perfectly free to choose his own confessor.

The Nature and the Necessity of Penance.

1. In the Sacrament of Penance the repentant Christian con fesses his sins to a duly authorized priest, who, standing in the place of God, pronounces the absolution by means of which they are forgiven.
2. The Sacrament of Penance is indispensably necessary for those who have fallen into sin after Baptism, for without this sacrament they are unable to recover the justice they have lost (Council of Trent, 14, 1; 6, 29).
3. Let no one be deterred by a feeling of shame from confess ing his sins ; the priest dare not, under any pretext, reveal what is said in the confessional, and he is ever ready to receive the contrite sinner kindly.
4. He who from a sense of shame conceals a mortal sin in confession, does not obtain forgiveness, but only adds to his other sins that of sacrilege; and exposes himself to the grave risk of dying impenitent.

1. We must make a suitable preparation of body and soul be fore receiving holy communion.
2. The manner in which we should prepare our soul is this: We must cleanse our souls from mortal sin by confession, perform good works, and adorn ourselves with the virtues.
3. To receive holy communion when one is conscious of having committed a mortal sin, is to incur the guilt of sacrilege.
4. Our body must be prepared for holy communion by fasting from midnight; by dressing in a neat and suitable manner, and by a reverent deportment at the time of communion.

Holy communion acts spiritually, as bread and wine act materially.

1. By holy communion we are united most closely to Christ. Our Lord says : " He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood, abideth in Me, and I in him " (John vi. 57) .
2. Holy communion imparts actual graces, and also maintains and increases sanctifying grace in the soul.
3. The force of evil concupiscence is lessened by holy communion, and we are freed from venial sin by means of it.
4. Holy communion often affords much refreshment to the soul.
5. Holy communion sanctifies the body, and implants in it the germ of a future glorious resurrection.

The Necessity of Holy Communion.

1. The Holy Sacrament of the Altar is the nourishment of our souls.
2. We are bound under pain of mortal sin to communicate at least once a year, and that at Easter; also in case of dangerous illness. It is, moreover, the wish of the Church that the faithful should, if possible, receive holy communion on Sundays and holydays.

Today, we begin to discuss the Eucharist.  The Eucharist is the living heart of Catholicism and the main thing that differentiates us from protestant denominations.  We will spend a few shows on this most important subject

Institution and Nature of the Holy Eucharist.

1. The body of Christ under the appearance of bread, and the blood of Christ under the appearance of wine, is called the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
2. The presence of the body and blood of Christ under the ap pearance of bread and wine is a mystery, because our feeble reason cannot comprehend it.
3. It is most true that under the species of bread, as also under the species of wine, Christ is present, God and man, whole and entire.
4. Our Lord is present in every particle, however minute, of the consecrated bread and wine.
5. Christ is present in the consecrated elements as long as the accidents of bread and wine remain.
6. The duties of the Christian in regard to the Holy Sacrament of the Altar are these: He ought to visit it frequently, to adore it, and to receive it.

Today's show is a bit different. We take a break from the Catechism and remember the life of Charlie Kirk, his assacsination, and those who died on the 9/11/01;  I discuss the evil in our nation and how we can combat it.

1. This is what takes place at Baptism: Water is poured upon the head of the person to be baptized, and at the same time the words appointed by Our Lord are repeated; the person is thereby cleansed from original sin and all other sins, he is gifted with habitual and sanctifying grace, and becomes a child of God, an heir of heaven, and a member of the Church.
2. Baptism acts spiritually as water does materially.
3. Baptism is indispensably necessary to salvation.
4. Hence it follows that parents ought to have their children baptized immediately after their birth.
5. In case of necessity any one can administer baptism, and without the usual ceremonies.
6. If baptism by water is impossible, it may be replaced by the baptism of desire, or by the baptism of blood, as in the case of those who suffer martyrdom for the faith of Christ,
7. In the early ages of the Church solemn Baptism was ad ministered on three days of the year: Holy Saturday, the eve of Whitsunday, and in the East on the eve of the Epiphany.
