Episode 32: Happy Feast of St. Joseph! New Discoveries Finally Tell Us the Age of St. Joseph!

The Catholic Nerds have a special nerd-out session for the Feast
of St. Joseph! We share newly discovered Biblical evidence on the
age of St. Joseph - this comes from Dr. Brant Pitre's new series
on St. Joseph, The Hidden King: The Jewish Roots of St. Joseph.
PLUS, there's an extra bonus: Scott confirmed with Dr. Pitre a
way to deepen this argument through Luke's background as a
physician. 


Not only that! We also cover Santo Anello, Mary and Joseph's
wedding ring; the Holy House of Loreto; the Miraculous Staircase
of Loretto; AND the anti-communist origins of St. Joseph the
Worker! 


Here is the full article from Scott's blog if you would like to
follow along: Was St. Joseph an Old Man or a Young Man? How Old
was St. Joseph When He Married Mary? The Bible Tells Us St.
Joseph's Exact Age.    


ANNOUNCEMENT: Co-Host Scott Smith is also about
to be a Co-Author with Fr. Donald Calloway, author of the now
world-famous, Consecration to St. Joseph. Together, Fr. Calloway
and Scott have co-authored a Consecration to St. Joseph for
Children and Families, which is due out this
Summer!   


The Catholic Nerds also dig into Mary and St. Joseph's wedding
ring, Santo Annello. Here's the article on that if you would like
to follow along: Mary and Joseph's Wedding Ring: Santo Anello and
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich's Visions.


There's also a quick nerd-out about St. Joseph the Worker, which
feast day is coming up, as well. Here's the article if you would
like to "hammer" into this subject: St. Joseph, Hammer of
Communists: The Anti-Communist Origins of the Feast of St. Joseph
the Worker.
