A Tale of Two Thomases

In this episode, Madeline chats with Fr. Alexander Millar, a priest of the Diocese of Peoria who was (at the time of recording) one of the chaplains of St. John's Catholic Newman Center at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and is currently studying for a licentiate in sacred theology at Boston College with a specialization in medical ethics. During their conversation, they discuss his family’s unique faith situation growing up, how he ended up at UIUC for undergrad, his saint friends, different liturgical rites and the history of their standardization, receiving people as they are, a look into diocesan administration and the beatification process, Illinois martyrs, and so much more.

During the course of their conversation, they make many references which you can explore. Some of these references include episodes 2 and 29 of this podcast Fr. Kartje, Fr. Steven, the Liturgy Guys podcast, and Fide et Ratio.
