New podcast: Inside the so-called Apocrypha—what they are, who they’re for, and why anyone should care these days. Who will love it? Apocrypha fans, Apocrypha-curious, and those who’d rather read Leviticus but have a spare 30 minutes.
I was asked on my grad school application, Why are you studying Bible here are Catholic University? And I answered: Love of the Deuterocanonicals.
But every time I see a non-Catholic parent with a child that died from lack of medical care (because they were relying on Faith) I think of Sirach
Sickness and Medicine
38 Give doctors the honor they deserve, for the Lord gave them their work to do.[a] 2 Their skill came from the Most High, and kings reward them for it. 3 Their knowledge gives them a position of importance, and powerful people hold them in high regard.
4 The Lord created medicines from the earth, and a sensible person will not hesitate to use them.
