False gods continue to sneak in the back door throughout the Old Testament. The Israelites continue to forfeit their relationship as children of Yahweh and choose to be slaves of Baal, or Satan under the guise of an Egyptian god. On this episode of The Road to Emmaus, Scott Hahn explains how God repeatedly saves His people from making themselves slaves of the devil.

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief.
Questions Covered:
- 06:35 - The translation 1 Tim. 3:15 seems to change based on the version of Scripture you use. Which is correct?
- 14:15 - How long did Joseph and Mary live in Egypt before Herod died?
- 19:50 - How can I answer my Protestant friend who says that God predestined us to heaven or hell because he is all-knowing, even before He creates us?
- 24:11 - I am in RCIA but the coronavirus is messing up the schedule for me to become Catholic. Is there any way for me to become Catholic in an emergency rite?
- 29:33 - What is the best way to dive into the catechism for the first time?
- 33:33 - Can you tell me more about the blessing of religious items? What is the purpose of this?
- 38:34 - I don’t understand where we find penance in Scripture. In the Bible, Jesus forgives but does not ask for anything. Why do priests give penance?
- 48:42 - Should the Bible be taken literally?

Virtue of Humility
Adam goes off the deep end in the topic so we had to extend the episode.
The book we discussed is only $5.65 currently on Amazon.
"Humility of Heart" by Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo
“In Paradise, there are many Saints who never gave alms on earth: their poverty justified them. There are many Saints who never mortified their bodies by fasting, or wearing hair shirts: their bodily infirmities excused them. There are many Saints too who were not virgins: their vocation was otherwise. But in Paradise, there is no Saint who was not humble.” – Fr. Cajetan Mary da Bergamo
Twelve Steps of Humility
Step 1. A first step is taken when one consciously obeys all of God’s commandments, never ignoring them but always holding within himself a fear of God in his heart.
Step 2. The second step is achieved when one thinks not about pleasing himself but instead follow the injunction of the Lord.
Step 3. The third step is reached when out of love of God, one obediently submits to a superior in imitation of the Lord.
Step 4. The fourth step is achieved when one, under obedience, patiently and quietly endures all thing that are inflicted on him. It should make no difference whether the trials are painful, unjust or even completely beyond his understanding; he should neither tire nor give up.
Step 5. The fifth step is reached when one humbly discloses to his superior all the evil thoughts in his heart, as well as those faults and evil acts he has actually committed.
Step 6. To achieve the sixth step one must without qualms accept all that is crude and harsh; at all times he considers himself a poor and worthless workman.
Step 7. The seventh step is attained when one not only confesses that he is an inferior and common wretch, but believes it to his very core. He must be willing to humble himself.
Step 8. One reaches the eighth step of humility when he does only that which is demanded by the common rule of his seniors.
Step 9. The ninth step can be achieved when one, practicing silence, only speaks when asked a question.
Step 10. The tenth step is climbed when one restrains himself from undue laughter and frivolity.
Step 11. To reach the eleventh step one must speak gently, without jests, but simply, seriously, tersely, rationally and softly.
Step 12. The final step is attained only when one can at all times show humility not only in his appearance and actions, but also in his heart.

It has been a while since I have been to confession. And without getting God's forgiveness weekly, like normal, I almost feel like I am blocking His love and grace.

Go beneath the surface with Paul Murano to find out how we humans are a believing species, and to examine what is meant by the all-important word 'faith', without which there is neither sanity nor salvation.
