How do we understand Paul’s doctrine of matrimony and marital roles when he writes:
- Saint Paul: “For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the Church” (Eph 5:23)
- Saint Paul: “Let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands (Eph 5:24).
Listen and find out! It’s actually very beautiful and encouraging for both husbands and wives.

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).

Taylor is also the Editor of Christian and American at: www.christianandamerican.com. 
Where is episode 12? It was promised 3-4 months ago but as far as I can see there is no such thing on the website.
As for marriage as a sacrament, Paul certainly gives a doctrinal basis, but it seems doubtful that he himself believed in marriage as a sacrament in the later theological meaning. His mysterion is more naturally rendered “mystery” or “secret”, and the idea of marriage as sacrament comes only centuries later… but as I said there is a basis in Paul for a sacramental element to marriage.. even in 1 Cor 7 marriage brings holiness to the family..
All apologies. There are several more podcasts on the Catholic Perspective on Paul, but since Episode #11, the semester started, I started teaching at the university, The Crucified Rabbi was published, and alas, the podcasts fell by the wayside. However, I’ll get them going again – maybe over Christmas break.
I need a techie assistant to help me with editing, etc. since the podcasts can take up a lot of time. If anyone has the ability/time, I’d greatly appreciate it.
