Making Sense Out Of Suffering, Evil, & Death w/Dr. Peter Kreeft

If God is all-good, all-loving, and all-powerful, why would He allow such tragic suffering in our world, especially the suffering of the innocent? Why does God permit evil? Why are some people cured of severe illnesses, and others are cured? Why does God seem to perform a miracle for some but not for others?

His HoliMess, Fr. Paul Houlis, interviews one of the greatest Catholic philosophers of the new millennium, Dr. Peter Kreeft, about the very meaning of suffering, evil, and death, on the anniversary of the murder of the most innocent man who ever lived, Good Friday.

About the Podcast

A Holy Mess
With His HoliMess Father Paul
Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess.
Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life!
So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him.
Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast.

Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history.
Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.
