Can Catholics Eat Pork?

Why is there such controversy regarding this topic? What does the Bible say about eating pork? Doesn't the Old Testament forbid certain foods? On this week's episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Joseph-Anthony dive into Leviticus and explain the Old Testament view of forbidden foods and explain whether or not modern Christians can validly consume pork. Why does God forbid foods at all? The friars answer these questions and more on this week's episode of Godsplaining!

Are Statues and Images Idols?

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Bonaventure and Fr. Gregory dive into the topic of statues and images to answer the question, is veneration of these sacred images idolatry? After sharing their personal experiences (and some laughs) the friars look seriously at the topic in the context of natural experiences before shifting into the supernatural. They round out the conversation by looking to how the Early Church answered this question at the Second Council of Nicea. Subscribe to our channelhttps://www.youtube.com/c/GodsplainingSupport the PodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/godsplainingShop our NEW merch store: https://godsplaining.org/store/Shop Books Written by the FriarsSt. Dominic's Way of Life: https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Dominics-Way-Life-Knowing/dp/1681929392Prudence: Choose Confidently, Live Boldly: https://www.amazon.com/Prudence-Choose-Confidently-Live-Boldly/dp/1681927322/Connect on Social MediaFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/godsplaining/Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/godsplaining/Follow us on X: https://x.com/godsplainingTo learn more about the Province of St. Joseph visit: www.opeast.orgTo support the Province of St. Joseph visit: www.dominicanfriars.org
