Radio Interview: Exploring the Nicene Creed – Part Two July 8, 2025By Catholic Review Staff Catholic Review Filed Under: CR Radio, Feature, Local News, News, Radio Interview In honor of the 1,700th anniversary of the establishment of the Nicene Creed, we have been taking a closer look at what the creed says and means. Last week, we explored the historic circumstances surrounding the creation of the creed and it’s declarations regarding God the Father. On today’s episode, we look at what the creed has to say about God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Our first guest is Father Justin Gough, chaplain of Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg. Father Gough is a Baltimore native, ordained to the priesthood in 2020. Father Gough, a former associate pastor of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Homeland and St. Thomas Aquinas in Hampden, holds a licentiate in dogmatic and fundamental theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas (the Angelicum) in Rome and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Providence College. The guest in our second segment is Deacon Frederick “Fritz” Bauerschmidt, a theology professor at Loyola University Maryland in Baltimore who serves as a permanent deacon assigned to the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Homeland and the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Baltimore. Deacon Bauerschmidt was raised in South Carolina, and studied theology at Yale Divinity School and Duke University. He is the author of numerous books and was the recipient of the 2023 Michael Ramsey Prize for Theological Writing, awarded by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Special thanks to James J. Richardson, a musician and singer, who provided the chant of the Nicene Creed featured on this program. Learn more at psallitedomino.com. Click play below to listen to the full episode.
