44. Intellect, Faith, and Money

Aug 10

Video Version

In this episode Nick De La Torre invites to the show Edita Krunic, Founder, Manager, and President of Select International Tours.

Edita shares her life story as a young girl emigrating from Communist Yugoslavia to the United States and her appreciation for her strong family faith, being raised Christian Orthodox. Years later, in 1986, she went back to Yugolsavia and had an experience in the village of Medjugorje where she felt God calling her, through Mary, to completely alter her life. This began the incredible journey toward founding the first Christian Pilgrimage Tour Company to bring pilgrims to the site of Marian apparitions in Medjugore. An amazing company that now brings pilgrims to several significant Christian sites around the world.

In this “Catholic Weird Stuff” segment we learn about baptism! Why do Catholics baptize infants? What are the qualifiers for a proper baptism? What is the significance of baptism and what scripture supports it?

Episode Description

In this fascinating broad-topic episode Nick interviews hosts of the New Polity podcast, Marc Barnes and Jacob Imam. The three discuss everything from personal journeys to the faith, the relationship between intellect and “knowing” someone, to having a debate on the value of crypto currency. Find out what makes Marc and Jacob the perfect guests for today’s show and why their podcast is worth checking out.

In this Catholic Weird Stuff Segment we discuss usury. We define what it is and why the Catholic Church has always opposed it. Should we still be against lending and borrowing for the purpose of gaining interest? And how do we move away from something that has become a cornerstone of Western society?
