The Tangent on Veritas Catholic Network

Fr. Sam and Matt discuss the virtues of fraternity and patriotism exemplified at the Winter Olympics. They also dig into what it takes to have a "successful" Lent. 

Dr. Dan Schneider is an Adjunct Professor of Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville who has been involved in teaching and evangelization in the Catholic Church for nearly twenty years. A former amateur boxer, U.S. Army helicopter pilot and Gulf War veteran, Dan has also worked for many years in the Catholic apostolate of deliverance and exorcism both at the diocesan level and as a founding member of Liber Christo, a movement in conjunction with Fr.

the reality of Spiritual warfare
the importance of recognizing the difference between power and authority in the spiritual life

Making reparation in spiritual warfare
generational sin and curses.
