Logos Podcast

Why does the Cross, a symbol of suffering and death, stand at the center of the Catholic faith? In this episode of Logos Podcast, we explore the power of the Cross through Catholic theology and philosophy. From St. Paul’s bold claim that “we preach Christ crucified” to the insights of St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Anselm to Pope Benedict XVI, we uncover how the Cross reveals the deepest truths about love, justice, sacrifice, and redemption. Whether you’re seeking spiritual insight or philosophical depth, this episode will challenge you to see the Cross not as defeat, but as divine wisdom and ultimate victory.Timecode:0:00 - Life update7:00 - Context of the Cross11:00 - The Foolish King21:40 - Death is Life29:10 - Why the Cross?37:05 - The Pattern of the Cross48:00 - Experiences with The Cross52:00 - The Tree of LifeSupport the show
