About this episode

Fr. Casey Jones discusses various questions related to Catholic practices and beliefs, including the appropriateness of Tai Chi for Catholics.

Father Casey Jones is a priest of the Diocese of Venice, Florida. He currently serves as the pastor of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish and school in Naples, Florida. In Today's Show: Is smoking tobacco a sin? When we pray hard for something that never happens, how do we not lose hope? How does the Catholic Church differ from the Anglican Ordinariate? Is it okay to prefer the Jesus prayer over the Hail Mary? Can a Catholic practice Tai Chi? Can we distance ourselves from our parents if they are causing us harm? Is a clover a sufficient symbol to explain the Trinity? So we say “begotten, not made in not made” what does that mean exactly? And more.
