God and Caesar | 61

Lee Benson sits down with Fr. Jonathan Torres to discuss and comment on the readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A. This episode discusses the unlikely hero and peculiar figure of King Cyrus and his importance in salvation history; how God works through history and the political and how He uses non-Israelites to bring about the kingdom; the theological virtues in the midst of suffering; the importance of not confusing God and politics; What it means to render to God what belongs to God.

But first, the Sacred and the Profane: Saint Luke, the North American Martyrs and the weather finally growing cold.
