Do you have an inner life and can you develop it?

Joe Heshmire is next.

Hello and welcome again to Catholic Answers Focus.

I am Cy Kelle it, your host.

In a practical sense, the interior life is under attack

because life is so full of distractions and entertainments.

But in an intellectual sense, the interior life

has been under attack for a long time with many skeptics now saying the interior life is

Nothing but illusion and many Christians even ignoring the interior life because it seems unrelated to their view of salvation.

In this episode we dive into questions about the interior life and its relevance.

Our guest is shameless papist, Joe Heshmire.

Joe's been involved...

How you doing?

Hi Joe.

Is that a correct description of you, shameless papist?

I think that's a pretty accurate one.

As I was going to say, you've been involved in the world of Catholic apologetics for a long time since at least 10 years.

He's the founder of the blog Shameless Popry.

He has been a seminarian, is now a married man, and does all kinds of work

for the School of Faith, which provides formation for Catholics and mentoring for those.

Well, maybe you describe the School of Faith a little bit, Joe.

Sure, so it's really simple.
