The Catechism in a Year – Day 275 – Superstition, Idolatry, and Magic

Superstition, idolatry, divination, and magic are all things we can encounter in our daily lives, and, with Fr. Mike, we unpack how they break the First Commandment. Fr. Mike reiterates that superstition represents an “excess of religion” and can affect the worship we offer to God. He points out that we can be superstitious even in our Catholic practices. He also explains that idolatry consists of divinizing anything that is not God. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2110-2117.

The Bible in a Year – Day 162 – Rehobo′am Seeks Counsel

Fr. Mike explains why it’s better to seek counsel from those who don’t necessarily always agree with us, using the experience of Rehobo′am as an example. He also touches on the failed leadership of Jerobo′am as he leads his people into false places of worship and idolatry. Today’s readings are 1 Kings 12, 2 Chronicles 10-11, and Song of Solomon 1.
