The Deus Vult Podcast

It should be made known that this episode was recorded well before the news broke about the passing of Pope Benedict XVI. It is simply Divine Providence that this episode has as one of its primary reference texts His Holiness's work.   One hope of your co-hosts in producing this show each week is to encourage many to pursue "real culture" in the truest sense of the term. Listen to this episode to fully understand what is meant by that. Certainly, this goal of "real culture" is something that Pope Benedict understood and pursued, not only for himself, but for the whole Church during his service to her mission.  For the record, although this show has already produced one episode about Pope Benedict, entitled God's Rottweiler, it is the hope of the co-hosts to soon produce another episode as a tribute to the man who shepherded so many souls to the Lord.Pope Benedict XVI Requiescat in pace. Dec. 31, 2022

The 12th Installment of the Screwtape Series. Demons, in their mission to encourage us to apathy, don't make us hate God all at once. Rather they slowly entice us first by the temptations of goods which are lesser than God and then by the banal, things which are neither good nor evil. In other words, they try and at times succeed to tempt us with nothing!
