Homily | June 5, 2026 | Cutting Down Idols | (Episode 148)

Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

We remember Saint Boniface and the startling courage it takes to tear down idols rather than simply decorate life with religious language. We connect his martyr’s clarity to Paul’s warning about persecution, Paul’s teaching on inspired Scripture, and Jesus’ question that reveals his divine identity. 
• Saint Boniface leaving comfort behind to evangelize hostile territory 
• The sacred oak of Thor as a picture of fear-based idolatry 
• Modern idols that compete for God’s place in the heart 
• Paul’s warning that faithful Christian life brings resistance 
• “All Scripture is inspired by God” as a foundation for Catholic faith and Catholic apologetics 
• Jesus as more than a political savior, revealing himself as Lord 
• Why martyrs prove Christianity is truth that changes everything
