Reading Insights from Catholic Underground

I don't know if any of you are familiar with Catholic Underground's podcast. Two priests and two layman get to get together to talk about faith and technology. Trying a new format, Fr. Ryan Humpheries heads this show. He talks about the Pope Benedict XVI's new encyclical Caritas in Veritate as well as a very popular book called The Death of a Pope by Pierce Paul Reid. Fr. Humphries gives a great explanation on Benedict's idea of the continuity and unity of Catholic teaching. He also warns people of the problems of Pierce Paul Reid's book. I personally have not heard all of the hooplah over this novel, but according to Fr. Humphries it's been the book to talk about in Catholic circles. Nonetheless, it also deals with the continuity and unity of Catholic teaching or lack thereof. Check it out.
