Join us as we examine the origin of the Eucharist in Old Testament typology. Saint Paul deeply understood this continuity and speaks of the Lord’s Supper and the “table of the Lord” with sacrificial language. We’ll also take a look at how the Council of Trent examined specific passages in the epistles of Paul with respect to transubstantiation and the Real Presence.
Taylor was an Episcopal priest in Fort Worth, Texas before being received into the Catholic Church by Bishop Kevin Vann of Fort Worth.
Taylor was also formerly the Assistant Director of the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., located three blocks north of the White House, where he lectured regularly. He was served under Archbishop John J. Myers and Msgr. William Stetson for the Pastoral Provision of John Paul II, the canonical structure by which Anglican clergy are received into the Catholic Church and then go on to pursue Holy Orders in the Catholic Church.
He is a graduate of Westminster Theological Seminary (M.A.R. Theology), Nashotah Theological House (Certificate in Anglican Studies), and University of Dallas (M.A. Philosophy). He is currently a Ph.D. student in Philosophy at the University of Dallas where he studies the Natural Law theory of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae Ia Iaa qq. 94-108). Taylor and his wife live in Dallas, Texas with their five children. He is the author of The Catholic Perspective on Paul (forthcoming).

Ryan,
Sorry about. Let me see what I can do.
I just subscribed via iTunes, and episode 8 is downloading now.
Taylor,
I want to thank you for these podcasts, and also for making it possible to listen to them directly from the site, as sometimes that is really the most convenient way to listen.
I have listened to three thus far, and have found each of them to be excellent, and very helpful. Please keep them coming.
Do you have written transcripts of these podcasts available at this time?
Blessings and peace.
Kevin
The podcast is now up at iTunes.
I think that there may be a slight delay before iTunes picks up the latest podcast (24 hours?). I’ll be sure to ping iTunes as soon as I publish Episode #9 (Paul on the Priesthood) here at the site.
Kevin,
Thank you for the encouragement. Ad majorem Dei gloriam.
The text version will be published as a book, The Catholic Perspective on Paul, in 2010 (God willing).
Greg,
Cool avatar!!! Would you call that an Aquinatar?
This one was pretty good. But the argument from Hebrews wasn’t given its full weight. How do we deal with 10:2 – if the Mass purports to be a propitiatory sacrifice, and an efficacious one, why do we need to go to Mass again and again and why do we still have sins to be forgiven of? Doesn’t this make the Mass as bad as the OT sacrifices?
Emil,
Those are great questions and I’ve struggled with them ever since I became Catholic. I gave a talk on this problem for Dr. Hahn’s Letter and Spirit seminar last year. It was recorded and I have a copy of it. I’ll try to put it up.
Taylor
Is that talk up yet?
Not yet. Mea culpa. I’m finishing up at the University and then I’ll work on getting it up.
God is great praise him!
Thanks. I have struggled with this constantly this whole year in RCIA. So many people have knocked themselves out to help me get it. Finally, they shrug and say, “I guess you’d have to grow up Catholic to understand.” This is the “missing link” that allows the full jump from the Protestant to the Catholic mind for anyone serious about grasping everything from the mass to the Divine Mercy Chaplet.
read John chapter 6 about as many times as needed (50 times or so) to understand the true meaning. And ask Jesus to explain it to you. then you will see that the “Mass” is not needed nor was it taught by Jesus, Paul or any Apostles.
