Carolina Catholic learns about Catholic women and modern fashion
For our third November show, we talk to Catholic author, Catherine Rose, about her book, A Return to Beauty: Ancient Catholic Wisdom and Modern Fashion. In this book, Catherine explains how when in Eucharistic Adoration in 2011, she saw a vision of a crowd of people with a woman wearing a lovely dress, and she heard these words: "You go and accomplish this." Because of her deep love of Jesus, she sought to do His will, and thus, she began to wear dresses every day; this began her 13 year journey to do God's will and share her story talking to women about being beautiful for God. Her book highlights the opportunity of every woman to dress in a lovely way, through which she can evangelize culture, elevate her vocation, and transform her interior sense of self.

November's Teaching Moment
A Doctor of the Church is an official designation, bestowed by the Pope, and refers to those whose teaching on faith has been deemed sound and of benefit to the church through their writing, study, or research. To be designated as a doctor requires a high degree of sanctity, so all church doctors are also canonized saints. Lastly, a pope or ecumenical council may proclaim this title on a saint.
This month, Pope Leo XIV has named St. John Henry Newman the next Doctor of the Church. This saint is a convert from the Anglican Church, and his conversion cost him everything losing his job, friends, and the influence he had on Anglicans throughout England. He pioneered what became official Catholic teaching at Vatican II: the development of Christian doctrine. He showed that there is a solid theological foundation for the development of Christian doctrines in general like the Immaculate Conception. Newman didn’t prove the Immaculate Conception using the Bible alone. Instead, he points us to Scripture to show that this doctrine was there in its rudiments from the very beginning. Newman will be the thirty-eighth person given this illustrious title in 2,000 years. “May this day mark the start of a new and fresh insight into Catholicism for the world.”

Carolina Catholic chats with two authors about Hell and the Temperment of the Saints
For our first November show, we chat with two Catholic authors. We speak first to Monsignor Charles Pope, pastor at Holy Comforter - St. Cyprian Parish in Washington, DC, about his newest book, The Hell There is: An Exploration of an Often-Rejected Doctrine of the Church. In this book, we hear the words from Sacred Scripture and from Jesus Himself as He taught us repeatedly by warning us about the reality many face of going to hell. We also speak to Rosemary McGuire Berry, a lifelong Catholic reader, storyteller, writer, traveler, and homeschooling mom, about her book, Piety and Personality: The Temperaments of the Saints. This beautiful book helps us orient our unique personalities towards perfection in Christ with the guidance of saints.
