Underpinned with a delicate balance of smoke and sweet vanilla from the ex-American oak casks, this single malt has spent just 5 years in contact with fresh first fill wood. The presence of peat on the palate is huge, and yet is incredibly balanced with clean fruit and floral notes. Distilled in 2014 from the 2013 harvest of 100% Scottish barley then filled into active ex-American oak, this high provenance, high peat single malt is a fitting embodiment of how quality ingredients demand less time to reach maturity.About our gear:<a href="https://thecatholicmanshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/in-tune-with-the-world.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="https://thecatholicmanshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/in-tune-with-the-world-194x300.jpg" height="300" width="194"></a>In this stimulating and still-timely study, Josef Pieper takes up a theme of paramount importance to his thinking – that festivals belong by rights among the great topics of philosophical discussion. As he develops his theory of festivity, the modern age comes under close and painful scrutiny. It is obvious that we no longer know what festivity is, namely, the celebration of existence under various symbolsPieper exposes the pseudo-festivals, in their harmless and their sinister forms: traditional feasts contaminated by commercialism; artificial holidays created in the interest of merchandisers; holidays by coercion, decreed by dictators the world over; festivals as military demonstrations; holidays empty of significance. And lastly we are given the apocalyptic vision of a nihilistic world which would seek its release not in festivities but in destruction.Formulated with Pieper's customary clarity and elegance, enhanced by brilliantly chosen quotations, this is an illuminating contribution to the understanding of traditional and contemporary experience.About the Topic:- Festivals can only arise from a working day (fast before the feast).- It has to be leisurely - a realm of activity that is meaningful in itself.- Ingredients of a festival: - Play or leisurely - Contemplation (“the simple intuition of reason. The mind’s eye resting on whatever manifests itself.”) - Phenomenon of wealth (Existential richness - aka abundance) - Affirmation - (Pieper says affirmation is the substance of festivity.) Festivals are impossible to the “naysayers”. The more money he has, and above all the more leisure, the more desperate is this impossibility to him. - Joy (Joy is the response of a love receiving what he loves). A festival becomes a true festivity only when man affirms the goodness of his existence by offering a response of joy.&nbsp; - In concrete form. In reality. - Public in nature; affairs of the communityQUOTES FROM THE BOOK:“A festival can arise only out of the foundation of a life whose ordinary shape is given by the working day.”“Man understands the work and accepts it for what it really is, namely, the “tilling of the field” which always includes both happiness and toil, satisfaction as well as sweat of the brow, joy as well as the consumption of vital energy. If one element in these pairs is suppressed, the reality of work is falsified and festivity is ruled out.”“To celebrate a festival means to do to do something which is in no way tied to other goals, which has been removed from all “so that” and “in order to.” True festivity cannot be imagined as residing anywhere but in the realm of activity that is meaningful in itself.”“In fact a real festival can scarcely be conceived unless the ingredient of play has entered into it.”&nbsp;“The concept of festivity is inconceivable without an element of contemplation. This does not mean exerting the argumentative intellect, but the simple intuition of reason; not the unrest of thought, but the mind’s eye resting on whatever manifests itself."“This is that life above all others which man should live, in the contemplation of divine beauty; this makes man immortal.” - Plato“A festival is essentially a phenomenon of wealth; not, to be sure, the wealth of money, but of existential richness.”“Festivity is joy and nothing else.” “Where love rejoices, there is festivity.” - both quotes from Chrysostom.“Joy is the response of a lover receiving what he loves.”&nbsp;On Memorial Days:“Memorial Days are not in themselves festival days. Strictly speaking, the past cannot be celebrated festively unless the celebrant community still draws glory and exaltation from that past, not merely as reflected history, but by virtue of a historical reality still operative in the present.”“Nevertheless, it remains the sole foundation for festivity, no matter what happens to be celebrated in concerto. An as the radical nature of negation deepens, and consequently as anything but ultimate arguments becomes ineffectual, it becomes more necessary to refer to this ultimate foundation. By ultimate foundation I mean the conviction that the prime festive occasion, which alone can ultimately justify all celebration, really exists; that to, reduce it to the most concise phrase, at bottom everything that is, is good, and it is good to exist. For man cannot have the experience of receiving what is loved, unless the world and existence as a whole represent something good and therefore beloved to him.”“Festivity is impossible to the naysayer. The more money he has, and above all the more leisure, the more desperate is this impossibility to him.”“Festivity lives on affirmation. Even celebrations for the dead, All Souls and Good Friday, can never be truly celebrated except on the basis of faith that all is well with the world and life as a whole.”“A festival becomes true festivity only when man affirms the goodness of his existence by offering the response of joy.”“Strictly speaking, however, it is insufficient to call affirmation of the world a mere prerequisite and premise for festivity. In fact it is far more; it is the substance of festivity. Festivity, in its essential core, is nothing but the living out of this affirmation.”&nbsp;“To celebrate a festival means to live out, for some special occasion and in an uncommon manner, the universal assent to the world as a whole.”Broken up in 3 parts:1. There can be no more radical assent to the world than the praise of God, the lauding of the Creator of this same world.2. The ritual festival is the most festive form that festivity can possibly take.3. There can be no deadlier, more ruthless destruction of festivity than refusal of ritual praise.&nbsp;“In order for a festival to emerge out of human efforts, something divine must be added, which alone makes possible the otherwise impossible.”When a festival goes as it should, men receive something that it is not in human power to give. This is the by now almost forgotten reason for the age-old custom of men wishing one another well on great festival days….but the real thing we are wishing is the “success” of the festive celebration itself, not just its outer forms and enrichments, bot the trimmings, but the gift that is meant to be the true fruit of the festival: Renewal, transformation, rebirth. Nowadays, to be sure, all this can barely be sensed behind the trite formula: “Happy Holidays.”“Festivals are public by nature; they are affairs of the community" The Catholic Woodworker:Check out The Catholic Woodworker’s&nbsp;<a href="https://catholicwoodworker.com/collections/home-altars" target="_blank">home altars</a>.

WOF 308: Understanding Genesis: Adam, Eve, and the Fall

Bonus #MarchForLife episode (responding to BAD pro-choice "arguments")

Whether there is a Purgatory after this life? Objection 1. It would seem that there is not a Purgatory after this life. For it is said (Apocalypse 14:13): "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors." Therefore after this life no cleansing labor awaits those who die in the Lord, nor those who do not die in the Lord, since they cannot be cleansed. Therefore there is no Purgatory after this life. Reply to Objection 1. The authority quoted is speaking of the labor of working for merit, and not of the labor of suffering to be cleansed. It is said (2 Maccabees 12:46): "It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." Now there is no need to pray for the dead who are in heaven, for they are in no need; nor again for those who are in hell, because they cannot be loosed from sins. Therefore after this life, there are some not yet loosed from sins, who can be loosed therefrom; and the like have charity, without which sins cannot be loosed, for "charity covereth all sins" [Proverbs 10:12]. Hence they will not be consigned to everlasting death, since "he that liveth and believeth in Me, shall not die for ever" [John 11:26]: nor will they obtain glory without being cleansed, because nothing unclean shall obtain it, as stated in the last chapter of the Apocalypse (verse 14). Therefore some kind of cleansing remains after this life. ST. Appendix 2. A 1.

In this engaging conversation, Sean Lynn and Father Deacon Andrew Bennett explore themes of brotherhood, faith, and the role of young men in the church. They discuss Father Andrew&#39;s journey from academia to politics, his work in promoting religious freedom, and the challenges of pluralism and moral relativism in contemporary society. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of robust discussions, the role of St. Joseph as a model for fatherhood, and the need for Christians to actively engage in their communities.

Wokeness and Catholicism w/ Seamus Coughlin

In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help. To help men understand Virtue and Vice and take concrete action, <a href='http://everycathoicman.com/'>EveryCathoicMan.com</a> has developed the Litanies of Virtue.<a href='https://everycatholicman.com/overview-of-vice-virtue-and-the-holy-spirit/'>To learn more about Vice, Virtue and the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit, go to EveryCatholicMan.com.</a> <a href='https://everycatholicman.com/litany-of-temperance-against-gluttony/'>To see a written  version of the Litany of Temperance go to EveryCatholicMan.com</a>.

LITANIES OF VIRTUE SERIES - The Litany of Temperance (Against Gluttony )

To rise with Christ, we must die with Christ: we must "be away from the body and at home with the Lord." In that "departure" which is death the soul is separated from the body. It will be reunited with the body on the day of resurrection of the dead. Deacon Harold kicks off this week's theme of "The Four Last Things" talking death and looking at Soulful Psalm 30.

Why a Former Protestant Left Shrooms and New Age Practices Behind and Found New Life in Christ

95: Why does every atheist misunderstand your 5 proofs for God's existence?

"The breath of the Almighty gives me life." - Job 33:4 | The only way we are able to live a life of faith, a life full of love, peace, joy, and power is by the Holy Spirit. We see this most clearly in the lives of the Apostles. They had every advantage in being with Jesus and hearing him preach and seeing the many miracles that he had done, and yet, even with that advantage, they were frightened men living their faith life in a locked room before they received the Holy Spirit. What took place in the upper room changed the lives of these men and women and would change the course of human history. This experience of the Holy Spirit is an encounter available to everyone; it is not reserved for a select few. Pentecost and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit is the theme of this segment.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>

Every now and then, articles and surveys pop up suggesting that religious people are, by whatever criteria, dumber than then general population—or at least dumber than atheists. Today Bishop Barron responds to this and the charge that religion has a “smart-people problem.” A listener asks about new ecclesial movements in the Church.

WOF 091: Does Religion Have a Smart-People Problem?

<h3>Dr. Michael P Foley, Drinking with the Saints: The Sinner’s Guide to a Holy Happy Hour</h3>
This saintly marauder found a way to celebrate Saints with the water of life. Startin with a dram of the finest from a bottle of Redbreast 12 year old single malt Irish Whiskey, Sean responds like the Governor-General of &nbsp;la Nouvelle France, but not with his cannons and muskets but with a dram of one of his favourites: a dram of Glendalough Double Barrel Irish Whiskey. &nbsp;Sean tips over St. Kevin not just in honour of his guest and his daughter.
Enjoy this casual conversation of new found friends as they journey from Scotland to Waco Texas, to Pincher Creek Alberta and back, uncovering some of the finest Whisky and Catholic monuments, never steering far off from the Church.

A Dram with Dr Michael Foley

Rediscovering a Catholic imagination means rediscovering the possibility of seeing things in a new way. How do we view the day to day work that we do?  Do we look at it from below according to our perspective or from above according to God’s? In this series on the spirituality of work I want us to learn to look at things through God’s eyes.

DGT Episod 27 - Laborem Exercens - The Spirituality Of Work Part 7

Jesus willingly enters into His Passion for the salvation of mankind. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by building the Virtue of Gratitude so he can recognize and give thanks that Jesus died to save him personally and by building the Virtue of Hope so he can avoid despair and pray for the souls of those who commit suicide.

Episode 159B - The Passion of the Lord - Sunday March 24, 2024 - Mk 14:1-15:47

Every baptized Christian is supposed to multiply and make more disciples. How does our parish prepare people for this mission and then send them out to accomplish it? Tim discusses all of these critical points in this chapter.

Evangelizing Without Being Weird with Nick Meyer

There are only two options that you can take in this world. There is no divide or alternative option and you must choose. We hear politicians, preachers, self-help gurus, and influencers use the term “red-pill" all the time to refer to finally being awake to reality. But, perhaps we are not as awake and woke as we think we are. What if most of us are actually taking the blue pill daily? In today’s episode, John, Devin, and Sam will discuss how to know if you are liberated from the matrix or conditioned and placated by it.We also answer a listener's question about handling his wife's emotions.🔴 Get this and watch the entire 1h 30mins of episode 162 here - https://catholicgentlemanplus.com (Today we go into 3 additional ways that will lead to failure, like always being right.)﻿✅ If you have any questions that we can answer on the show, please, send your questions to us at podcast@catholicgentleman.com.

Today, John and Sam are excited to announce a new host to our show, Devin Schadt. He will be joining us weekly to answer the tough questions that men face and add to the depth of knowledge and discussion. This week we talk about warning signs that your wife is not feeling loved. We open up about what we have each learned about truly loving our wives and the many ways that we have failed. We then go into the importance of this topic and how by understanding the nature of women, we can be the husbands they need and the husband God is calling us to be. Finally, each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a father about how to be present to his kids after a long and exhausting day at work. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to <a href="mailto:podcast@catholicgentleman.com">podcast@catholicgentleman.com</a>.

Warning Signs Your Wife is Not Feeling Loved

This time of year is filled with thoughts of change and renewal. Men take upon themselves resolutions to better their lives, however, the majority of these resolutions fail. Why do they fail and what purpose of resolutions is lacking that keeps men from moving forward in the active life? We turn to a great priest and expert in the Desert Fathers, Fr. David Abernethy, to guide us in what dispositions of the mind, intent of the will, and practices we must foster on a regular basis to find frequent growth from sin to holiness.🔴 SPONSOR - Exodus 90 - 90 Days before Easter Starts on January 9th - Sign-up today - <a href="https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman">Click Here</a>Previous Episode with Fr.

How to Avoid Failure at Your New Year’s Resolutions

For many Christians business is a challenge.  After all it is about making a profit.  It’s driven by coefficients of productivity and therefore moves much more according to justice than to mercy.  And yet at the same time business is an essential part of life as is the world of work.  How did St. Paul interrelate with the world of business and what does that teach us about our own way of looking at it?

WOF 355: How to Make a Holy Hour

Session 6: Fortitude
There’s no getting around it: pilgrimages are hard. We need fortitude, not just for a short moment of courage, but for the strength to push on through pain and challenges. Thankfully, Father Kapaun is a great example of fortitude, and so are our fellow pilgrims. (10 minutes)

Episode 6 - Fortitude

Friends, today we share Fr. Mike Schmitz’s keynote talk from the recent Good News Conference in Orlando, Florida. As Fr. Mike explains, joy is a choice, just like love. We can either chase the feeling or choose the reality. Joy comes from the fact that you know that God is here and that you are known and loved by him. The Christian life is a pursuit of the One who loved us first, the One in whom we find our true joy.

WOF 364: Joy is the Gigantic Secret of Christians w/ Fr. Mike Schmitz

In today's episode we'll take a look at the following questions: Is it possible to hate God? Is hatred of God the greatest of sins? Is hatred of one's neighbor always a sin? Is hated a deadly sin? If not, from what deadly sin does hatred arise? We'll also be reading a lot from Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground. <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Underground-Vintage-Classics-Fyodor-Dostoevsky/dp/067973452X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here</a>'s the edition I have and recommend. --- Please support my work --&gt; https://pintswithaquinas.com/donate/ --- Here's the main article we look at from Aquinas in today's episode: Whether it is possible for anyone to hate God? Objection 1. It would seem that no man can hate God. For Dionysius says (Div. Nom. iv) that "the first good and beautiful is an object of love and dilection to all." But God is goodness and beauty itself. Therefore He is hated by none. Objection 2. Further, in the Apocryphal books of 3 Esdras 4:36,[39] it is written that "all things call upon truth . . . and (all men) do well like of her works." Now God is the very truth according to John 14:6. Therefore all love God, and none can hate Him. Objection 3. Further, hatred is a kind of aversion. But according to Dionysius (Div. Nom. i) God draws all things to Himself. Therefore none can hate Him. On the contrary, It is written (Psalm 73:23): "The pride of them that hate Thee ascendeth continually," and (John 15:24): "But now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father." I answer that, As shown above (I-II:29:1), hatred is a movement of the appetitive power, which power is not set in motion save by something apprehended. Now God can be apprehended by man in two ways; first, in Himself, as when He is seen in His Essence; secondly, in His effects, when, to wit, "the invisible things" of God . . . "are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made" (Romans 1:20). Now God in His Essence is goodness itself, which no man can hate—for it is natural to good to be loved. Hence it is impossible for one who sees God in His Essence, to hate Him. Moreover some of His effects are such that they can nowise be contrary to the human will, since "to be, to live, to understand," which are effects of God, are desirable and lovable to all. Wherefore again God cannot be an object of hatred if we consider Him as the Author of such like effects. Some of God's effects, however, are contrary to an inordinate will, such as the infliction of punishment, and the prohibition of sin by the Divine Law. Such like effects are repugnant to a will debased by sin, and as regards the consideration of them, God may be an object of hatred to some, in so far as they look upon Him as forbidding sin, and inflicting punishment. Reply to Objection 1. This argument is true of those who see God's Essence, which is the very essence of goodness. Reply to Objection 2. This argument is true in so far as God is apprehended as the cause of such effects as are naturally beloved of all, among which are the works of Truth who reveals herself to men. Reply to Objection 3. God draws all things to Himself, in so far as He is the source of being, since all things, in as much as they are, tend to be like God, Who is Being itself. - ST II-II, Q. 34, A. 1 SPONSORS EL Investments: <a href= "https://www.elinvestments.net/pints">https://www.elinvestments.net/pints</a> Exodus 90: <a href= "https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/">https://exodus90.com/mattfradd/</a>  Hallow: <a href= "http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a>  STRIVE: <a href= "https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a>  GIVING Patreon: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.
