Introduction to ”Spe Salvi” by Dr. Michael Bolin
The 2022 Wyoming School of Catholic Thought featured readings on the topic “Mortality and Eternity” including Pope Benedict XVI's 2007 encyclical Spe Salvi. “The belief that love can reach into the afterlife,” wrote Pope Benedict, “that reciprocal giving and receiving is possible, in which our affection for one another continues beyond the limits of death—this has been a fundamental conviction of Christianity throughout the ages and it remains a source of comfort today.” Dr. Michael Bolin gave the 2022 Wyoming School of Catholic Thought participants this introduction to Spe Salvi.

St. Josephine Bakhita and how to Reframe
St. Josephine Bakhita (1869-1947) was from Sudan, she was canonized by Pope John Paul II in 2000. She was sold as a slave and beaten frequently, but eventually she found her way to Venice where she discovered a new master, kind and forgiving, Christ, the true "paron", the "master" who knew her and loved her. She was able to make her scars into an opportunity to love. Today we call this reframing.

The Josias Podcast, Episode XXII: Love, Hope, and Integralism in the New Testament
The encyclicals Deus caritas est and Spe salvi raise two opposite objections against Christianity: Christian love seems too altruistic, opposed to one’s own happiness; while Christian hope seems too egoistic, opposed to proper concern for temporal society. The editors discuss these objections with New Testament scholar John Kincaid. They argue that a true understanding of the New Testament demands a full understanding of the common good (showing that love is neither altruism nor egoism, but communion in the good), and a deep understanding of the relation of the temporal and the eternal (showing that hope for eternal happiness and p...

Hope - Spe Salvi
Tony and Chris discuss Pope Benedict's second encyclical Spe Salvi (In Hope We are Saved). The Holy Father in this letter called his flock to reflect upon the hope that we have as Christians because of Jesus our Lord. However, this hope must move beyond just a head knowledge or "informative" but it must show up in our actions thus becoming "performative". Therefore, if our hope in Christ is evident in our actions then it will be a light to the world to bring others to Christ. "It is never to late nor is it ever in vain to touch...
