Godsplaining

What will our bodies be like after the resurrection? Will we still experience pain, suffering, or physical limitations? And why does Jesus still bear the wounds of His crucifixion in His glorified body?

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick , and Fr. Gregory explore the mystery of Christ's resurrected body and the four gifts of the glorified body according to St. Thomas Aquinas: impassibility, subtlety, agility, and clarity.

From Christ's appearances after the Resurrection to the promise of our own bodily resurrection, the friars unpack what these extraordinary gifts reveal about heaven, the human person, and God's ultimate plan for our salvation.

What's the difference between Dominicans, Franciscans, Jesuits, Benedictines, and other Catholic religious orders? And is one religious order better than the others?

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Joseph-Anthony and Fr. Bonaventure compare the different religious orders of the Catholic Church, exploring their unique charisms, traditions, and missions.

From the contemplative life of monks to the active apostolates of religious priests and brothers, the friars explain why the Church has so many forms of consecrated life and how each reveals something beautiful about following Christ.

They also discuss the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, share their personal experiences of discerning the Dominican Order, and offer advice for anyone considering a religious vocation.

Could the Shroud of Turin provide scientific evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, welcomes Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ, President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith, to explore one of Christianity's most fascinating mysteries: the Shroud of Turin.

Believed by many to be the burial cloth of Jesus, the Shroud has fascinated scientists, historians, and believers for centuries. But what does the scientific evidence actually reveal? Fr. Spitzer examines the controversial 1988 carbon dating, the mysterious three-dimensional image, the bloodstains that appear to correspond to the Gospel accounts of Christ's crucifixion, and theories about how the image may have formed.

Together, they explore whether the Shroud points beyond natural explanations and what it might tell us about the Resurrection. Join us for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of science, history, faith, and reason.

Is it okay to be sad as a Christian? If we have faith in God, shouldn't we always be joyful?

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Gregory and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore the relationship between sadness, Christian joy, and holiness. Drawing on the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas, they discuss why sadness isn't necessarily a bad thing, how to respond to sorrow, and why experiencing difficult emotions doesn't make you a bad Christian.

From grief and disappointment to persistent sadness, the friars offer practical and spiritual insights on finding peace through friendship, patience, prayer, and the presence of Christ.

What happens when a society abandons objective moral truth? C.S. Lewis warned that the consequences could be far greater than we imagine.

In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis argues that when we reduce morality to personal feelings and treat human nature as something we can reshape at will, we risk losing the very qualities that make us human.

In this episode of Godsplaining, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Bonaventure unpack Lewis’ influential work and explore its implications for modern education, moral relativism, natural law, and human freedom.

What books or films do films would you like the friars to unpack next? Tell us in the comments.
