Dr. James Dobbins Catholic Apologetics

Welcome to Catholic apologetics, led by Dr. Jim Dobbins, Author of Take My Hand: A personal retreat companion. This is a podcast of classes we hold each Sunday at our parish, St. William of York, in Stafford, Virginia. Just finished an RCIA program? This is the next stop on your faith journey. In these classes we look at the different truths of Catholic doctrine and why we know they are true. We also discuss apologetics, spiritual growth, examine the liturgy of the Catholic Mass and do scripture studies. Please encourage your friends to listen. I also encourage you to leave a comment about our podcasts. If you want the slides or any other documents for any class, just e-mail me at jhdphd@gmail.com and I will reply with the documents attached. If yo wish, I will also add you to the class materials distribution list so each time I send anything out for the class you will get it. If you are getting the class files from iTunes and would like to see the full set of available classes for download, you can see and download them all at http://yorked.podomatic.com We ask you to also consider going to http://yorked.podomatic.com and become a subscriber. It is free, helps our ratings, and thus helps us reach and help more people. We have begun a new series on various topics in Apologetics. Before we took our Summer break, I asked people to send in Apologetics topics they would like us to address. I received many topics and in this new series we address those topics. We are currently discussing the new book, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, by Dr. Brant Pitre. As we go through this class, you may have many questions. Please feel free to send them to us through Podomatic, or directly to me at jhdphd@gmail.com. I also recommend you get a marvelous CD titled Welcome to the Catholic Church, from Harmony Media. This CD can also be ordered from Ignatius Press, the 101 Foundation, or from your local Catholic book store (ex: http://realcatholic.com/ in Richmond, Va). This CD is a huge treasure trove of material on the Catholic Church, including two searchable bibles, the Catechisms, Council documents, and many, many other documents. I highly recommend it, and it is a genuine bargain. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is a particular topic you would like to see addressed.

This lesson is one I did during our Christmas break. We are doing a seres on the Diache, and this is a small diversion from that series so you have some spiritual food until our series resumes. I hope you enjoy learning about the Flame of Love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I also recommend you get a marvelous CD titled Welcome to the Catholic Church, from Harmony Media. This CD can also be ordered from Ignatius Press, the 101 Foundation, or from your local Catholic book store (ex: http://realcatholic.com/ in Richmond, Va). This CD is a huge treasure trove of material on the Catholic Church, including two searchable bibles, the Catechisms, Council documents, and many, many other documents. I highly recommend it, and it is a genuine bargain. Please let me know if you have any questions or if there is a particular topic you would like to see addressed.
