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).

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.
This is very good stuff. Will episode 12 be made available? There seems to be a dangerous lie going around that divorce is not a “grave” sin. Rather, only the “remarriage” is a grave sin. Divorce, as defined by the glossary of our Catechism, ” The CLAIM that the indissoluble bond… has been broken” is a “grave” sin. Where, a CIVIL divorce may be permitted, IF thee are NO OTHER options AND AFTER seeking permission from the bishop. However it is NEVER morally licit to claim in one’s heart that they are no longer married to the spouse of one’s youh. Just hopeful that your message 12 covers some of this! God bless your work…I have learned so much
…Thank you!

LOVE SO AMAZING
planning to buy your own spa unit for your home, then there are certain things which you should take into account. First of all, you must decide how many
Together with almost everything that appears to be developing inside this specific subject material, all your points of view are actually rather radical. On the other hand, I am sorry, but I can not give credence to your whole theory, all be it exciting none the less. It seems to everybody that your commentary are generally not entirely justified and in reality you are yourself not really completely confident of the assertion. In any case I did appreciate reading it.
Thank you for this series of podcasts. As an evangelical with more than a little interest in Catholicism, these talks are changing the way I understand a lot of the New Testament and contributing to my understanding of Catholicism. The comment you made in the last episode on Hebrews 13:10-15 was quite enlightening. And I will never be able to read Romans 12:1 in the same way again. At this rate, I will be a Catholic by next Easter
