Episode Description
When one of your closest friends dedicates 20 years of his life to a project, it's going to come up from time to time in conversation.
And when that project relates to something that you're passionate about too, then you know those conversations are going to be powerful.
AND when that good friend just happens to be Curtis Mitch, Co-Editor of the new Ignatius Press Study Bible, and that conversation takes place on the Art of Catholic podcast...
...it makes for an episode you're definitely not going to want to miss!
In today's podcast, Curtis and I dive into one of the most mysterious, misunderstood, and controversial books in the Bible - the Book of Revelation.
With the same brilliance you'll find in his commentary for the new Ignatius Press Study Bible, Curtis explains how we as Catholics are to interpret the image of the Woman Clothed with the Sun - and you might just be surprised at his take on it.
Our conversation also explores topics such as:
- The Vision of the Woman Clothed with the Sun
- The Multi-layered identity of the Woman in Revelation 12
- The very first prophecy about Our Lady
- The significance of the 12 stars crowning Mary in Revelation
- How Revelation describes the "rebirth" of Christ's humanity in heaven
- And much more!
After 20 years of eating, sleeping, and breathing God's Word, Curtis has a depth of insight on these topics that is unrivaled.
Enjoy the episode and God bless,
Matthew

| 0:04.6 | I'm holding this Bible up and like my arms are flexing as I do. |
| 0:09.4 | But I was looking at this and I was thinking to myself, |
| 0:14.1 | imagine if Striper threw these things out during one of their concerts, |
| 0:19.1 | you know how they would take their little pocket new testimists with the songs |
| 0:22.4 | and the problems like whipping them out in the crowd. |
| 0:24.8 | And I'm ashamed and also proud of them. |

| 0:37.6 | Like the only place people ever fight over the Bible. |
| 0:40.2 | Right? |
| 0:41.2 | It's a striper concert. But man, there would be some serious slain in the spirit of people who are within these things around. |
| 0:50.0 | This is the art of Catholic. |
| 1:00.2 | Welcome to the art of Catholic. I'm Matthew Leonard and I've got a treat for you guys today because we're gonna talk about the woman clothes with the sun in Revelation chapter 12 |
| 1:09.7 | So obviously this is gonna be a show that involves the Blessed Virgin Mary a great deal |
| 1:14.6 | Not just our lady, but she plays a huge role in this |
| 1:18.0 | But we're gonna talk about this and talk about her a little bit differently than most conversations |
| 1:24.1 | For the last 20 plus years, my buddy Curtis Mitch has been working on the Ignatius Catholic study |
| 1:31.0 | Bible. He's been basically writing the commentary. And certainly other people have helped with the |
| 1:36.6 | project, but he really did the vast majority of the work. And this thing is incredible. This is |
| 1:41.5 | the Bible that I always recommend when people ask me what Bible they should buy |
