You're listening to a podcast on Catholic Saints.

This podcast is produced by the Augustine Institute, an apostolate helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.

Hello, and welcome to Catholic Saints, the podcast about the lives of the saints and their legacy for the church and for us.

I'm your host, Dr. Elizabeth Klein, and I'm joined today by my colleague, Dr. Ben Acres, to talk about St. Carlo Acuteus.

Dr. Acres, thanks for joining us.

Thanks for having me.

Before we jump into things, I thought I would make some small talk as directed by asking you, what are you teaching this term in the graduate school? So I'm teaching a class, is an elective class called Teaching Scripture for the New Evangelization. That sounds like a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun. I really love it, so I have some students that are on campus and we have some students that are distance education that are taking it. And what we do in the

class is we look at scripture, what it is, but then also how to pray through it with Lexington.

And then we really spend a lot of time on pedagogy of how do we imitate in the classroom

God's pedagogy with Israel, with us in the church.

And so we get to examine the divine plan.

There's no greater teacher than God, and he slowly disclosed himself and his plan for our lives.

And so we get to study that.

It's been great.

Awesome.

That's a lot of fun. So accept this as a plug for the graduate school.

If you're interested in learning to teach like God from Dr. Akers, can join us. I wouldn't put myself in the Facebook. We're just studying how God has taught. We're trying to glean what we can. I don't know.

That's wonderful.

Well, I'm very excited to be talking about,

uh, St.

Carlo Acutus,

um, newly canonized saint.
