<div></div>
<div class="field-item even">The new bourbon is described as a blend of Kentucky Owl 4-year-old wheat and high-rye bourbons, along with 5 ½-year and 8 ½-year-old Kentucky-sourced bourbons.</div>
<div></div>
<div>“The Wiseman Bourbon is an artful balance of soft wheat and spicy high-rye that provides a smooth but complex bourbon designed to drink neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail,” said John Rhea, Kentucky Owl master blender, in a prepared statement. “The product leads with a beautiful caramel flavor and aroma followed by notes of allspice, citrus fruit and a nudge of oak.”</div>

Today's guest is Chris Bruno, the founder of the Restoration Project which is an initiative to help men experience healing and become whole through it. We discuss his book, "Sage: A Man's Guide Into His Second Passage," and the 6 stages of the masculine journey. Chris shares his testimony, about his family life, and his writing process which included a pilgrimage to Ireland! This conversation was deep and we hope it blesses you, whether you're journeying through your own manhood or helping your son journey through his.

The Stages of the Masculine Journey w/ Chris Bruno

This is the Every Catholic Man Gospel Devotional, where a man can draw closer to Jesus Christ, learn the Catholic faith and grow in happiness by becoming a better Catholic Son and Catholic Father Today we hear Jesus, the Son of the Almighty Father, speak directly to fathers and reveal that the Almighty Father’s love of His children is greater than even an earthly father’s love of his son. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to strive to build the virtue of orderliness so he can build the skills and discipline to have an active daily prayer life. We’ll also consider the importance of for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Perseverance so he can always persist in prayer when it seems that God is not answering his prayers.

WOF 131: Does the Bible Still Matter?

All of us want to be influential in our lives.  We want to be successful parents, great business leaders, powerful leaders in our community and we know that all of our influence flows from our actions and all of our actions flow from our intentions and desires.  But intentions are not good enough.  Great leaders know how to build on good intentions and make effective plans to really hit the mark.  Our Catholic faith shows us this in many ways and our faith can provide a priceless tool as we fight for vision.

The Cruelty of Gaslighting

Objection 1. It would seem that the use of wine is altogether unlawful. For without wisdom, a man cannot be in the state of salvation: since it is written (Wisdom 7:28): "God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom," and further on (Wisdom 9:19): "By wisdom they were healed, whosoever have pleased Thee, O Lord, from the beginning." Now the use of wine is a hindrance to wisdom, for it is written (Ecclesiastes 2:3): "I thought in my heart to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I might turn my mind to wisdom." Therefore wine-drinking is altogether unlawful. On the contrary, The Apostle says (1 Timothy 5:23): "Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake, and thy frequent infirmities"; and it is written (Sirach 31:36): "Wine drunken with moderation is the joy of the soul and the heart." I answer that, No meat or drink, considered in itself, is unlawful, according to Matthew 15:11, "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man." Wherefore it is not unlawful to drink wine as such. Yet it may become unlawful accidentally. This is sometimes owing to a circumstance on the part of the drinker, either because he is easily the worse for taking wine, or because he is bound by a vow not to drink wine: sometimes it results from the mode of drinking, because to wit he exceeds the measure in drinking: and sometimes it is on account of others who would be scandalized thereby. ST II-II, Q. 149, A 3. --- Drunkenness may be understood in two ways. First, it may signify the defect itself of a man resulting from his drinking much wine, the consequence being that he loses the use of reason. On this sense drunkenness denotes not a sin, but a penal defect resulting from a fault. Secondly, drunkenness may denote the act by which a man incurs this defect. This act may cause drunkenness in two ways. On one way, through the wine being too strong, without the drinker being cognizant of this: and in this way too, drunkenness may occur without sin, especially if it is not through his negligence, and thus we believe that Noah was made drunk as related in Genesis 9. On another way drunkenness may result from inordinate concupiscence and use of wine: in this way it is accounted a sin, and is comprised under gluttony as a species under its genus. For gluttony is divided into "surfeiting [Douay:,'rioting'] and drunkenness," which are forbidden by the Apostle (Romans 13:13). ST II-II, Q. 150, A. 1. --- Objection 1. It would seem that drunkenness does not excuse from sin. For the Philosopher says (Ethic. iii, 5) that "the drunkard deserves double punishment." Therefore drunkenness aggravates a sin instead of excusing from it. On the contrary, According to Augustine (Contra Faust. xxii, 43), Lot was to be excused from incest on account of drunkenness. I answer that, Two things are to be observed in drunkenness, as stated above (Article 1), namely the resulting defect and the preceding act. on the part of the resulting defect whereby the use of reason is fettered, drunkenness may be an excuse for sin, in so far as it causes an act to be involuntary through ignorance. But on the part of the preceding act, a distinction would seem necessary; because, if the drunkenness that results from that act be without sin, the subsequent sin is entirely excused from fault, as perhaps in the case of Lot. If, however, the preceding act was sinful, the person is not altogether excused from the subsequent sin, because the latter is rendered voluntary through the voluntariness of the preceding act, inasmuch as it was through doing something unlawful that he fell into the subsequent sin. Nevertheless, the resulting sin is diminished, even as the character of voluntariness is diminished. Wherefore Augustine says (Contra Faust. xxii, 44) that "Lot's guilt is to be measured, not by the incest, but by his drunkenness."

4 Temptations Every Man Faces and How To Defeat Them

Please support Pints With Aquinas here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> See full transcript of today's who at: http://pintswithaquinas.com/podcast/aquinas-advice-on-how-to-order-your-life/ The prayer we read from today: Prayer for the Wise Ordering of One's Life (Written by Thomas Aquinas, tranlated by Paul Murray OP, from his excellent book Aquinas at Prayer: The Bible, Mysticism, and Poetry.) O merciful God, whatever is pleasing to you, may I ardently desire, wisely pursue, truly recognize, and bring to perfect completion. For the praise and glory of your name put order into my life, and grant that I may know what it is you require me to do, and help me to achieve whatever is fitting and necessary for the good of my soul. May my way, Lord, be yours entirely, upright and perfect, failing in neither prosperity nor adversity so that, in prosperity, I give you thanks, and in adversity serve patients, neither exalted in the former not dejected in the latter. May I not rejoice in anything unless it leads me to you, nor be saddened by anything unless it turns me from you. May I not desire to please or fear to displease anyone but you. May all passing things become worthless to me on your account, and all things that are yours be dear to me, and you, God, above all things. May all joy without you leave me tired and weary, And may I not desire anything apart from you. May all work that is done for you delight me, Lord, and all repose not centered on your presence be wearisome. Let me, my God, direct my heart to you often and let me grieve over my failure with determination to change. Make me, my God, humble without pretense, cheerful without frivolity, sad without dejection, mature without heaviness, quick-witted without levity, truthful without duplicity. Let me fear you without despair, and hope in you without presumption. Let me correct my neighbor without hypocrisy, and without pride edify him by word and example: obedient without contradiction, patient without murmuring. Give me, dearest God, a vigilant heart which no distracting thought can lure away from you. Give me a noble heart which no unworthy desire can ever debase. Give me an unconquered heart which no tribulation can fatigue. Give me a free heart which no violent temptation can enslave. Give me an upright heart which no perverse intention can hold fast. Grant me, Lord my God, intelligence in knowing you, diligence in seeking you, wisdom in finding you, conversation pleasing to you, perseverance in confidently waiting for you, and confidence in finally embracing you. Grant that as penance I may be afflicted with your hardships, As grace, make use along the way, of your favors, as glory, delight in your joys in the fatherland. amen 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.

Today, American Ninja Warrior and Catholic evangelist, Sean Bryan, discusses how his life has brought him to the peak of physical performance and how it is all done through the Holy Spirit.

Sean received his Bachelor’s of Arts at UC Berkeley, where he studied physics and was on the men’s gymnastics team. He completed his Master of Arts in Theology with a Salesian Studies concentration at the Dominican School of Philosophy &amp; Theology. His Masters thesis analyzed the ecclesiology inherent to documents of the Second Vatican Council, and proposes the Scriptural notion of liturgy as an interpretive lens that elucidates the relationship between formal ritual worship and its integrated expression in everyday life. His exploration led to practical applications geared toward the animation of the faithful in the Church’s mission, including the Lay Mission Project: an in-depth disciple-community formation experience that enables the laity to live the faith in their daily lives, foster strong relationships, and transform your world. In his spare time, Sean co-founded Traverse Fitness, a ninja warrior gym that trains the current, and next generation of obstacle course racers, many of whom are underprivileged kids whose memberships are discounted and subsidized through donations.

Does Being A Father Ruin Your Life?

Robert Tunmire from Heroic Men is back for a bonus episode about ensuring we get up each day and put in our 10% to match the 90% that comes through the Holy Spirit. Joining forces with Tim Grey and the Augustine Institute team, Robert helped launch an incredible ministry to men resource called <a href="https://www.heroicmen.org">Heroic Men</a>. Robert explains why they use the term “ministry to men” rather than “men’s ministry” to avoid the possessive and inclusive nature of a “men’s ministry.” To finish the show, Robert and the Dudes pray the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance Prayer.*********Robert has more than 44 years of experience in the franchising industry and is widely known for his ability to grow companies. He served as Executive Vice President of Neighborly (formerly The Dwyer Group) from 1998 to 2019. For seven years, he was the President of Glass Doctor, a 30-year-old company. He also served as President and CEO of Neighborly/The Dwyer Group and President of Mr. Rooter Corporation, one of Neighborly’s companies. In 1975, as a very young man, he opened his first franchise for Rainbow International Carpet Dyeing &amp; Cleaning, a Neighborly company. After buying and selling four franchises, all for a handsome profit, he joined the home office in 1982. He began working for Rainbow International, which was to become Neighborly's flagship company. Until his retirement, Robert led the Franchise Development team in recruiting all new franchisees across the brands at Neighborly. He also took an active role in training new franchisees and had a gift for building long-term relationships with franchisees. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/">Undivided Life</a> <h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a> BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Resolutions Ordered to the Good: A Thomistic Guide to the New Year

Today I chat with Fr. Chris Pietraszko about the sin of sloth. Please support me and all my work at PintsWithAquinas.com/Donate Here's the texts we read: I answer that, Sloth, according to Damascene (De Fide Orth. ii, 14) is an oppressive sorrow, which, to wit, so weighs upon man's mind, that he wants to do nothing; thus acid things are also cold. Hence sloth implies a certain weariness of work, as appears from a gloss on Psalm 106:18, "Their soul abhorred all manner of meat," and from the definition of some who say that sloth is a "sluggishness of the mind which neglects to begin good." Now this sorrow is always evil, sometimes in itself, sometimes in its effect. For sorrow is evil in itself when it is about that which is apparently evil but good in reality, even as, on the other hand, pleasure is evil if it is about that which seems to be good but is, in truth, evil. Since, then, spiritual good is a good in very truth, sorrow about spiritual good is evil in itself. And yet that sorrow also which is about a real evil, is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds. Hence the Apostle (2 Corinthians 2:7) did not wish those who repented to be "swallowed up with overmuch sorrow." --- Objection 2. Further, a capital sin is one to which daughters are assigned. Now Gregory (Moral. xxxi, 45) assigns six daughters to sloth, viz. "malice, spite, faint-heartedness, despair, sluggishness in regard to the commandments, wandering of the mind after unlawful things." Now these do not seem in reality to arise from sloth. For "spite" is, seemingly the same as hatred, which arises from envy, as stated above (II-II:34:6); "malice" is a genus which contains all vices, and, in like manner, a "wandering" of the mind after unlawful things is to be found in every vice; "sluggishness" about the commandments seems to be the same as sloth, while "faint-heartedness" and "despair" may arise from any sin. Therefore sloth is not rightly accounted a capital sin. Reply to Objection 2. Gregory fittingly assigns the daughters of sloth. For since, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. viii, 5,6) "no man can be a long time in company with what is painful and unpleasant," it follows that something arises from sorrow in two ways: first, that man shuns whatever causes sorrow; secondly, that he passes to other things that give him pleasure: thus those who find no joy in spiritual pleasures, have recourse to pleasures of the body, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. x, 6). Now in the avoidance of sorrow the order observed is that man at first flies from unpleasant objects, and secondly he even struggles against such things as cause sorrow. Now spiritual goods which are the object of the sorrow of sloth, are both end and means. Avoidance of the end is the result of "despair," while avoidance of those goods which are the means to the end, in matters of difficulty which come under the counsels, is the effect of "faint-heartedness," and in matters of common righteousness, is the effect of "sluggishness about the commandments." The struggle against spiritual goods that cause sorrow is sometimes with men who lead others to spiritual goods, and this is called "spite"; and sometimes it extends to the spiritual goods themselves, when a man goes so far as to detest them, and this is properly called "malice." On so far as a man has recourse to eternal objects of pleasure, the daughter of sloth is called "wandering after unlawful things." From this it is clear how to reply to the objections against each of the daughters: for "malice" does not denote here that which is generic to all vices, but must be understood as explained. Nor is "spite" taken as synonymous with hatred, but for a kind of indignation, as stated above: and the same applies to the others.

146: The unnamed evil of our times (and how to overcome it) With Fr Chris Pietraszko

This is a short meditation written by St. Thomas Aquinas for Good Friday. Music by Fairuz. <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIdHzQhCwic">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIdHzQhCwic</a> ---

A Meditation for Good Friday

Today, John, Sam, and Devin have decided to delve into the two archetypes that shape every one of us and profoundly impact our existence. We have chosen these two archetypes due to the intricate interplay between them and how they mutually support and complete each other. God has created men to be a wellspring of power and positive change for the world, but that same power can also be harnessed for evil. Let's focus our attention on how these Christ-like images within us influence our lives and how we can harness them to triumph in life.QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Each week we are going to answer one of your questions during the podcast. This week we have a question from a listener who wants to know how to bring more fathers to Holy Mass and if the success of our churches depends on it. If you have any questions, please, record yourself on your phone and send us the audio clip to podcast@catholicgentleman.com. Or just send us your question and we will read it on air.🔴 Watch all 1h 25 mins of episode 137 on Catholic Gentleman Plus: https://catholicgentlemanplus.comHelp Support the Catholic Gentleman by either signing up for CG+ https://catholicgentlemanplus.com or https://catholicgentleman.com/support Learn more about your ad choices.

115: Tell us about your argument from motion

Dolphins Make Me Cry

The first and more manifest way is the argument from motion. It is certain, and evident to our senses, that in the world some things are in motion. Now whatever is in motion is put in motion by another, for nothing can be in motion except it is in potentiality to that towards which it is in motion; whereas a thing moves inasmuch as it is in act. For motion is nothing else than the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality. But nothing can be reduced from potentiality to actuality, except by something in a state of actuality. Thus that which is actually hot, as fire, makes wood, which is potentially hot, to be actually hot, and thereby moves and changes it. Now it is not possible that the same thing should be at once in actuality and potentiality in the same respect, but only in different respects. For what is actually hot cannot simultaneously be potentially hot; but it is simultaneously potentially cold. It is therefore impossible that in the same respect and in the same way a thing should be both mover and moved, i.e. that it should move itself. Therefore, whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another. If that by which it is put in motion be itself put in motion, then this also must needs be put in motion by another, and that by another again. But this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover, and, consequently, no other mover; seeing that subsequent movers move only inasmuch as they are put in motion by the first mover; as the staff moves only because it is put in motion by the hand. Therefore it is necessary to arrive at a first mover, put in motion by no other; and this everyone understands to be God. ST 1. Q2.

Fatherhood with Dr. Edward Sri

This past year we witnessed the passing of Alice von Hildebrand, Catholic philosopher and author, and wife of one of the foremost theologians and philosophers of the 20th century, Dietrich von Hildebrand. In this podcast episode we share portions of an interview with Alice conducted by Mario Costabile several years ago, as a tribute to this amazing and influential Catholic woman. Alice discusses her concerns about the state of education, the breakdown of the family and the contemporary attacks on the family, and the crucial role that women play in the plan of God. She also shares her view that the key to building a culture of life, as well as strong marriages, is personal holiness.-- About Alice von HildebrandAlice von Hildebrand was a Belgian-born American Catholic philosopher, theologian, author, and professor. She taught philosophy at Hunter College for 37 years and became an internationally beloved figure through her many books and articles and numerous radio and television appearances. She is the widow of the famous Catholic philosopher, Dietrich von Hildebrand, whose work she developed and made her own, making important contributions especially to the Catholic understanding of marriage and of femininity. Despite misogyny and anti-Catholicism at every turn, Alice von Hildebrand was a professor of philosophy for nearly 40 years in New York City. In a climate of relativism, she championed the objectivity of truth. Some students on the verge of despair found a reason for living; many, despite the fact that she never mentioned religion, converted to Catholicism. Alice von Hildebrand passed into eternal life on January 14, 2022, leaving behind wisdom found in her many books including The Privilege of Being a Woman, Man and Woman: A Divine Invention, and her autobiography Memoirs of a Happy Failure. -- Host: Mario CostabileVisit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

Daily Bread Discernment with Sr. Josephine Garrett

What is sin? Are all sins created equal? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Jack Garno and Dr. David Hajduk dive deep into the Catholic Church’s teaching on sin—original sin, mortal sin, venial sin, and the consequences of sin in Christian theology. We explore what the&nbsp;Bible&nbsp;says about sin, how&nbsp;moral theology&nbsp;helps us understand&nbsp;grave sin, and why the&nbsp;sacrament of reconciliation&nbsp;is essential to healing. You’ll hear insights on&nbsp;faith,&nbsp;penance, and the Church’s role in helping souls return to God. We also address the modern resistance to the idea of sin, especially regarding sexual morality, and whether the Church is "too obsessed" with sin. Can you receive&nbsp;communion&nbsp;if you're in a state of sin? Do you need a priest to be forgiven? This conversation unpacks timeless&nbsp;spiritual&nbsp;truths and sheds light on how&nbsp;Christianity,&nbsp;religion, and&nbsp;Catholic Church&nbsp;teaching still matter deeply in today's world. Don’t forget to&nbsp;like, comment, and subscribe&nbsp;for more Catholic conversations that inspire hope and deepen your faith. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4btLSYF" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Magnificat</a>&nbsp;- A simple way to transform the way you pray.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Scapulars.com</a>&nbsp;- Divine protection in life and death with the most durable, comfortable scapulars ever made. -Support Our Mission-<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/donate" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast</a>Instagram:&nbsp;<a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast</a>YouTube:&nbsp;<a href="https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast" target="_blank" style="color: blue;">https://youtube.com/@R4HPodcast</a> ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:13 Start of Interview 03:09 Different Types of Sin16:06 Original Sin 20:03 Reordering Disordered Desires 27:09 Does it take formation to know what Sin is? 32:39 What Sin Will Send Me to Hell? 37:36 The Eucharist and Sin 45:52 More differences between Mortal + Venial Sin 47:47 Partial vs. Plenory Indulgences 51:19 The Need for Confession

Are All Sins Created Equal?

Today Sam and John discuss how men can embrace, deepen their commitment, and constantly grow in love with Christ in the Eucharist.

How the Early Church Led a Protestant to the Eucharist

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John are joined by a Catholic gentleman and psychiatrist of incredible wisdom and experience, Dr. Kevin Majeres. Kevin guides us in how to embrace our anxiety and challenges head-on as an opportunity for our sanctification provided by God. As GK Chesterton stated, "An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered; an adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered." However, as nice as that sounds, it is in this episode that we learn how to practically use these challenges as God’s will to help us become saints.In this Episode We Discuss:<ul>
<li>Reframing to Embrace Your Suffering</li>
<li>Accepting the Challenges We Face and Growing in Sanctification</li>
<li>The Cross is the Cure</li>
<li>Complaining is a form of practical atheism</li>
<li>And More</li>
</ul> Dr. Kevin Majeres MD - Born and raised in Minnesota, Kevin attended college at the University of Dallas in Irving, Texas, and then stayed in Dallas for medical school and residency training at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. After graduation, he completed a fellowship with the Beck Institute of Cognitive Therapy and Research in Philadelphia, and became a certified affiliate of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. He is also a member of the Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapists.He is currently on the faculty of Harvard Medical School, where he teaches a weekly class on cognitive-behavioral therapy to psychiatrists-in-training at Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center.He is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (i.e., board certified in psychiatry).Optimal Work - https://www.optimalwork.com/Professional Website - https://drmajeres.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Embracing the Cross and Overcoming Anxiety (w/ Dr. Kevin Majeres)

Sometimes it can feel like we just need to get through Lent as easily as we can. But if we succumb to the temptation to take the easy route, we are losing an opportunity to become a better man and a better Christian. That’s why Victor and I sat down to talk about how to make this Lent really worth your time and sacrifice by finding the “one thing” that is most harmful to your relationship with the Lord. Once you know what is standing between you and God, you can get rid of it. That’s what Lent is for.

In this episode you’ll learn:
- What Lent is really about, and why we give things up.
- Why we need to suffer during Lent.
- How to pick something that’s really going to make you a better man.
- How Jesus helps us in our sufferings.
- And more!

Today I chat with Aquinas about the third commandment, Keep holy the sabbath day. Before I share Aquinas's text, a big thanks to the following awesome people who are supporting Pints With Aquinas on Patreon: Jack Buss! ... You're the man, Jack. Tim Davolt, Chris Reintjes, Tom Dickson, David Young, Andrew Kener, Desirae Sifuentes, and Sean McNicholl.

You can support Pints With Aquinas here: Patreon.com/pwa --- Okay, here's what Aquinas wrote: THE THIRD COMMANDMENT = "Remember to Keep Holy the Sabbath Day." This is the Third Commandment of the law, and very suitably is it so. For we are first commanded to adore God in our hearts, and the Commandment is to worship one God: "You shall not have strange gods before Me." In the Second Commandment we are told to reverence God by word: "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain." The Third commands us to reverence God by act. It is: "Remember that you keep holy the Sabbath day". God wished that a certain day be set aside on which men direct their minds to the service of the Lord. Reasons for this commandment There are five reasons for this Commandment. The first reason was to put aside error, for the Holy Spirit saw that in the future some men would say that the world had always existed. "In the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts, saying: Where is His promise or His coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they are willfully ignorant of, that the heavens were before, and the earth out of water, and through water, created by the word of God" [2 Pet 3:3-5]. God, therefore, wished that one day should be set aside in memory of the fact that He created all things in six days, and that on the seventh day He rested from the creation of new creatures. This is why the Lord placed this Commandment in the law, saying: "Remember that you keep holy the Sabbath day." The Jews kept holy the Sabbath in memory of the first creation; but Christ at His coming brought about a new creation. For by the first creation an earthly man was created, and by the second a heavenly man was formed: "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision is worth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature" [Gal 6:15]. This new creation is through grace, which came by the Resurrection: "That as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, so shall we also be in the likeness of His resurrection" [Rm 6:4-5]. And thus, because the Resurrection took place on Sunday, we celebrate that day, even as the Jews observed the Sabbath on account of the first creation. The second reason for this Commandment is to instruct us in our faith in the Redeemer. For the flesh of Christ was not corrupted in the sepulchre, and thus it is said: "Moreover My flesh also shall rest in hope" [Ps 15:9]. "Nor will You let your holy one see corruption" [Ps 15:10]. Wherefore, God wished that the Sabbath should be observed, and that just as the sacrifices of the Old Law signified the death of Christ, so should the quiet of the Sabbath signify the rest of His body in the sepulchre. But we do not now observe these sacrifices, because with the advent of the reality and the truth, figures of it must cease, just as the darkness is dispelled with the rising of the sun. Nevertheless, we keep the Saturdays in veneration of the Blessed Virgin, in whom remained a firm faith on that Saturday while Christ was dead. The third reason is that this Commandment was given to strengthen and foreshadow the fulfillment of the promise of rest. For rest indeed was promised to us: "And on that day God shall give you rest from your labor, from your vexation, and from the hard bondage, to which you had been subjugated" [Is 14:3]. "My people shall dwell in a peaceful land, in secure accommodation, and in quiet places of rest" [Is 32:18]. We hope for rest from three things: from the labors of the present life, from the struggles of temptations, and from the servitude of the devil. Christ promised this rest to all those who will come to Him: "Come to Me, all ye that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up My yoke upon you, and learn of Me, because I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest to your souls. For My yoke is sweet and My burden light" [Mt 11:28-30] However, the Lord, as we know, worked for six days and on the seventh He rested, because it is necessary to do a perfect work: "Behold with your eyes how I have labored a little, and have found much rest to Myself" [Sir 51:35]. For the period of eternity exceeds the present time incomparably more than a thousand years exceeds one day. Fourthly, this Commandment was given for the increase of our love: "For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul" [Wis 9:15]. And man always tends downwards towards earthly things unless he takes means to raise himself above them. It is indeed necessary to have a certain time for this; in fact, some do this continually: "I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall ever be in my mouth" [Ps 33:2]. And again: "Pray without ceasing" [1 Thes 5:17]. These shall enjoy the everlasting Sabbath. There are others who do this (i.e., excite love for God) during a certain portion of the day: "Seven times a day I have given praise to You" [Ps 118:164]. And some, in order to avoid being entirely apart from God, find it necessary to have a fixed day, lest they become too lukewarm in their love of God: "If you call the Sabbath delightful... then shall you delight in the Lord" [Is 58:13-14]. Again: "Then shall you abound in delights of the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God" [Job 22:26]. And accordingly this day is not set aside for the sole exercise of games, but to praise and pray to the Lord God. Wherefore, St. Augustine says that it is a lesser evil to plough than to play on this day. Lastly, we are given this Commandment in order to exercise works of kindliness to those who are subject to us. For some are so cruel to themselves and to others that they labor ceaselessly all on account of money. This is true especially of the Jews, who are most avaricious. "Observe the day of the Sabbath to sanctify it... that your man-servant and your maid-servant may rest, even as thyself" [19]. This Commandment, therefore, was given for all these reasons. From what we should abstain on the Sabbath "Remember that you keep holy (sanctify) the Sabbath day." We have already said that, as the Jews celebrated the Sabbath, so do we Christians observe the Sunday and all principal feasts. Let us now see in what way we should keep these days. We ought to know that God did not say to "keep" the Sabbath, but to remember to keep it holy. The word "holy" may be taken in two ways. Sometimes "holy" (sanctified) is the same as pure: "But you are washed, but you are sanctified" [1 Cor 6:11]. (that is, made holy). Then again at times "holy" is said of a thing consecrated to the worship of God, as, for instance, a place, a season, vestments, and the holy vessels. Therefore, in these two ways we ought to celebrate the feasts, that is, both purely and by giving ourselves over to divine service. We shall consider two things regarding this Commandment. First, what should be avoided on a feast day, and secondly, what we should do. We ought to avoid three things. The first is servile work. Avoidance of Servile Work.—"Neither do any work; sanctify the Sabbath day" [Jer 17:22]. And so also it is said in the Law: "You shall do no servile work therein" [Lev 23:25]. Now, servile work is bodily work; whereas "free work" (i.e., non-servile work) is done by the mind, for instance, the exercise of the intellect and such like. And one cannot be servilely bound to do this kind of work. When Servile Work Is Lawful.—We ought to know, however, that servile work can be done on the Sabbath for four reasons. The first reason is necessity. Wherefore, the Lord excused the disciples plucking the ears of corn on the Sabbath, as we read in St. Matthew (xii. 3-5). The second reason is when the work is done for the service of the Church; as we see in the same Gospel how the priests did all things necessary in the Temple on the Sabbath day. The third reason is for the good of our neighbor; for on the Sabbath the Saviour cured one having a withered hand, and He refuted the Jews who reprimanded Him, by citing the example of the sheep in a pit ("ibid."). And the fourth reason is the authority of our superiors. Thus, God commanded the Jews to circumcise on the Sabbath [Jn 7:22-23]. Avoidance of Sin and Negligence on the Sabbath.—Another thing to be avoided on the Sabbath is sin: "Take heed to your souls, and carry no burdens on the Sabbath day" [Jer 18:21]. This weight and burden on the soul is sin: "My iniquities as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me" [Ps 37:5]. Now, sin is a servile work because "whoever commits sin is the servant of sin" [Jn 8:34]. Therefore, when it is said, "You shall do no servile work therein,"[Lev 3:25]. it can be understood of sin. Thus, one violates this commandment as often as one commits sin on the Sabbath; and so both by working and by sin God is offended. "The Sabbaths and other festivals I will not abide." And why? "Because your assemblies are wicked. My soul hates your new moon and your solemnities; they are become troublesome to me" [Is 1:13] Another thing to avoid on the Sabbath is idleness: "For idleness has taught much evil" [Sir 33:29]. St. Jerome says: "Always do some good work, and the devil will always find you occupied" [Ep. ad Rusticum]. Hence, it is not good for one to keep only the principal feasts, if on the others one would remain idle. "The King's honor loves judgment" [Ps 98:4 Vulgate], that is to say, discretion. Wherefore, we read that certain of the Jews were in hiding, and their enemies fell upon them; but they, believing that they were not able to defend themselves on the Sabbath, were overcome and killed [1 Mac 2:31-38]. The same thing happens to many who are idle on the feast days: "The enemies have seen her, and have mocked at her Sabbaths" [Lam 1:7]. But all such should do as those Jews did, of whom it is said: "Whoever shall come up against us to fight on the Sabbath day, we will fight against him" [1 Mac 2:41] Do what on the Sabbath? "Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day." We have already said that man must keep the feast days holy; and that "holy" is considered in two ways, namely, "pure" and "consecrated to God." Moreover, we have indicated what things we should abstain from on these days. Now it must be shown with what we should occupy ourselves, and they are three in number. The Offering of Sacrifice.—The first is the offering of sacrifices. In the Book of Numbers (18) it is written how God ordered that on each day there be offered one lamb in the morning and another in the evening, but on the Sabbath day the number should be doubled. And this showed that on the Sabbath we should offer sacrifice to God from all that we possess: "All things are Yours; and we have given You what we received from your hand" [1 Chron 29:14]. We should offer, first of all, our soul to God, being sorry for our sins: "A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit" [Ps 50:19]; and also pray for His blessings: "Let my prayer be directed as incense in your sight" [Ps 140:2]. Feast days were instituted for that spiritual joy which is the effect of prayer. Therefore, on such days our prayers should be multiplied. Secondly, we should offer our body, by mortifying it with fasting: "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice"[Rm 12:1], and also by praising God: "The sacrifice of praise shall honor Me" [Ps 49:23]. And thus on these days our hymns should be more numerous. Thirdly, we should sacrifice our possessions by giving alms: "And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifice God's favor is obtained" [Hb 13:16]. And this alms ought to be more than on other days because the Sabbath is a day of common joys: "Send portions to those who have not prepared for themselves, because it is the holy day of the Lord" [Neh 8:10]. Hearing of God's Word.—Our second duty on the Sabbath is to be eager to hear the word of God. This the Jews did daily: "The voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath" [Acts 13:27]. Therefore Christians, whose justice should be more perfect, ought to come together on the Sabbath to hear sermons and participate in the services of the Church! "He who is of God, hears the words of God" [Jn 8:47]. We likewise ought to speak with profit to others: "Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but what is good for sanctification" [Eph 4:29]. These two practices are good for the soul of the sinner, because they change his heart for the better: "Are not My words as a fire, says the Lord, and as a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?" [Jer 23:29]. The opposite effect is had on those, even the perfect, who neither speak nor hear profitable things: "Evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake, you just, and do no sin" [1 Cor 15:33]. "Your words have I hidden in my heart" [Ps 118:11]. God's word enlightens the ignorant: "Your word is a lamp to my feet" [Ps 118:105]. It inflames the lukewarm: "The word of the Lord inflamed him" [Ps 114:19] The contemplation of divine things may be exercised on the Sabbath. However, this is for the more perfect. "O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet" [Ps 33:9], and this is because of the quiet of the soul. For just as the tired body desires rest, so also does the soul. But the soul's proper rest is in God: "Be for me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge" [Ps 30:3]. "There remains therefore a day of rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into his rest has also rested from his works, as God did from His" [Hb 4:9-10]. When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her" (i.e., Wisdom) [Wis 8:16]. However, before the soul arrives at this rest, three other rests must precede. The first is the rest from the turmoil of sin: "But the wicked are like the raging sea which cannot rest" [Is 57:20]. The second rest is from the passions of the flesh, because "the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh" [Gal 5:17]. The third is rest from the occupations of the world: "Martha, Martha, you art careful and art troubled about many things" [Lk 10:41]. And then after all these things the soul rests peacefully in God: "If you call the Sabbath delightful... then shall you delight in the Lord" [Is 58:13-14]. The Saints gave up everything to possess this rest, "for it is a pearl of great price which a man having found, hid it, and for joy went off and sold all that he had and bought that field" [Mt 13:44-46]. This rest in truth is eternal life and heavenly joy: "This is my rest for ever and ever; here will I dwell, for I have chosen it" [Ps 131:14]. And to this rest may the Lord bring us all!

71: What's the point of the sabbath? (Leisure vs Vegging)

Hey! Today I chat with Emily Sullivan about the marital debt! And no, we're not talking about money. ... Do not listen if you have kids around. Here's a little of what Aquinas had to say about the marital debt. Click the link below to get the full context: On the contrary, As the slave is in the power of his master, so is one spouse in the power of the other (1 Corinthians 7:4). But a slave is bound by an obligation of precept to pay his master the debt of his service according to Romans 13:7, "Render . . . to all men their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due," etc. Therefore husband and wife are mutually bound to the payment of the marriage debt. Further, marriage is directed to the avoiding of fornication (1 Corinthians 7:2). But this could not be the effect of marriage, if the one were not bound to pay the debt to the other when the latter is troubled with concupiscence. Therefore the payment of the debt is an obligation of precept. I answer that, Marriage was instituted especially as fulfilling an office of nature. Wherefore in its act the movement of nature must be observed according to which the nutritive power administers to the generative power that alone which is in excess of what is required for the preservation of the individual: for the natural order requires that a thing should be first perfected in itself, and that afterwards it should communicate of its perfection to others: and this is also the order of charity which perfects nature. And therefore, since the wife has power over her husband only in relation to the generative power and not in relation to things directed to the preservation of the individual, the husband is bound to pay the debt to his wife, in matters pertaining to the begetting of children, with due regard however to his own welfare.

A Dram with Deacon Mike Daly

Today we're joined around the bar table by Father Thomas Joseph White to discuss predestination. Learn more about the Hillbilly Thomists here: <a href="https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/">https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/</a> Here's a couple of excerpts from Thomas on predestination from the Prima pars: Here's some of what Aquinas had to say on predestination: It is fitting that God should predestine men. For all things are subject to His providence, as was shown above (I:22:2). Now it belongs to providence to direct things towards their end, as was also said (I:22:1 and I:22:2). The end towards which created things are directed by God is twofold; one which exceeds all proportion and faculty of created nature; and this end is life eternal, that consists in seeing God which is above the nature of every creature, as shown above (I:12:4). The other end, however, is proportionate to created nature, to which end created being can attain according to the power of its nature. Now if a thing cannot attain to something by the power of its nature, it must be directed thereto by another; thus, an arrow is directed by the archer towards a mark. Hence, properly speaking, a rational creature, capable of eternal life, is led towards it, directed, as it were, by God. The reason of that direction pre-exists in God; as in Him is the type of the order of all things towards an end, which we proved above to be providence. Now the type in the mind of the doer of something to be done, is a kind of pre-existence in him of the thing to be done. Hence the type of the aforesaid direction of a rational creature towards the end of life eternal is called predestination. For to destine, is to direct or send. Thus it is clear that predestination, as regards its objects, is a part of providence. --- God does reprobate some. For it was said above (Article 1) that predestination is a part of providence. To providence, however, it belongs to permit certain defects in those things which are subject to providence, as was said above (I:22:2). Thus, as men are ordained to eternal life through the providence of God, it likewise is part of that providence to permit some to fall away from that end; this is called reprobation. Thus, as predestination is a part of providence, in regard to those ordained to eternal salvation, so reprobation is a part of providence in regard to those who turn aside from that end. Hence reprobation implies not only foreknowledge, but also something more, as does providence, as was said above (I:22:1). Therefore, as predestination includes the will to confer grace and glory; so also reprobation includes the will to permit a person to fall into sin, and to impose the punishment of damnation on account of that sin.

A Christian Leap from the 19th Century to the 1st Century

Pints With Aquinas is fully fan funded. If you'd like to support PWA, click <a href="https://www.patreon.com/pwa">here</a> now. Thank you for your support. Here's the text from today's meditation: That Christ should die was expedient. 1. To make our redemption complete. For, although any suffering of Christ had an infinite value, because of its union with His divinity, it was not by no matter which of His sufferings that the redemption of mankind was made complete, but only by His death. So the Holy Spirit declared speaking through the mouth of Caiaphas, It is expedient for you that one man shall die for the people (John xi. 50). Whence St. Augustine says, "Let us stand in wonder, rejoice, be glad, love, praise, and adore since it is by the death of our Redeemer, that we have been called from death to life, from exile to our own land, from mourning to joy." 2. To increase our faith, our hope and our charity. With regard to faith the Psalm says (Ps. cxl. 10), I am alone until I pass from this world, that is, to the Father. When I shall have passed to the Father, then shall I be multiplied. Unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die itself remaineth alone (John xii. 24). As to the increase of hope St, Paul writes, He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? (Rom. viii. 32). God cannot deny us this, for to give us all things is less than to give His own Son to death for us. St. Bernard says, "Who is not carried away to hope and confidence in prayer, when he looks on the crucifix and sees how Our Lord hangs there, the head bent as though to kiss, the arms outstretched in an embrace, the hands pierced to give, the side opened to love, the feet nailed to remain with us." Come, my dove, in the clefts of the rock (Cant. ii. 14). It is in the wounds of Christ the Church builds its nest and waits, for it is in the Passion of Our Lord that she places her hope of salvation, and thereby trusts to be protected from the craft of the falcon, that is, of the devil. With regard to the increase of charity, Holy Scripture says, At noon he burneth the earth (Ecclus. xliii. 3), that is to say, in the fervour of His Passion He burns up all mankind with His love. So St. Bernard says, "The chalice thou didst drink, O good Jesus, maketh thee lovable above all things." The work of our redemption easily, brushing aside all hindrances, calls out in return the whole of our love. This it is which more gently draws out our devotion, builds it up more straightly, guards it more closely, and fires it with greater ardour. Learn more about your ad choices.

A Good Friday meditation by Thomas Aquinas

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss the blessing in disguise this present time of uncertainty and desolation can be for us as Catholics.

Uncertainty

In my first talk since our country was shut down by COVID, I address the students at Franciscan University of Steubenville about porn and Aquinas's remedies for lust and sorrow. We tackle: <ul> <li> Aquinas's underwhelming, yet vitally necessary, remedies for lust</li> <li>Why Aquinas's remedies for sorrow are essential in the struggle against porn</li> <li>Students' questions and Aquinas's answers for beating porn addiction</li> </ul> The texts I'll be drawing from can be found here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/41347207">https://www.patreon.com/posts/41347207</a> Learn more about my new 7-part Augustine Series here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/7-part-course-on-41416872">https://www.patreon.com/posts/7-part-course-on-41416872</a> 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.

How @The Cordial Catholic Converted to Catholicism

You know the numbers. Twelve apostles. Forty days in the desert. Seven sacraments. Seven days of creation. You know they mean something but do you know why? And what happens when you start pulling the thread?Fr. Robert Nixon returns to The Manly Catholic to unpack his latest translation, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-mystical-meaning-of-numbers-in-sacred-scripture/?srsltid=AfmBOopDAjLSF_eoibOoEcH2IEKq5GsfxKkSLsUWf7_6AsAxcNYXvojC" target="_blank">The Mystical Meaning of Numbers in Sacred Scripture</a>, by St. Isidore of Seville. Numbers may seem boring on the service, but this book is a window into how the greatest minds in Church history understood the universe and why the numbers embedded in Scripture are not decoration but design.Fr. Nixon walks through who St. Isidore actually was (patron saint of the internet!) and breaks down why the ancient world treated mathematics as a form of mystical philosophy. 🎯 Key TakeawayIntroduce numbered order into your prayer life this week deliberately. Pray the Angelus three times a day at 6 a.m., noon, and 6 p.m. Add the five decades of the Rosary. Let the numbers themselves become an act of faith. You are not just organizing your schedule but tapping into the same divine order that holds the universe together.📚 References &amp; Resources Mentioned:<ul><li><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tanbooks.com/products/books/the-mystical-meaning-of-numbers-in-sacred-scripture/?srsltid=AfmBOopDAjLSF_eoibOoEcH2IEKq5GsfxKkSLsUWf7_6AsAxcNYXvojC" target="_blank">The Mystical Meaning of Numbers in Sacred Scripture</a> by St. Isidore of Seville, translated by Fr.

Discerning the Priesthood? Watch This! (Edem Kabasa) | Ep. 372

I answer that it must be said that gifts of grace are added to those of nature in such a way that they do not destroy the latter, but rather perfect them; wherefore also the light of faith, which is gratuitously infused into our minds, does not destroy the natural light of cognition, which is in us by nature. For although the natural light of the human mind is insufficient to reveal those truths revealed by faith, yet it is impossible that those things which God has manifested to us by faith should be contrary to those which are evident to us by natural knowledge. In this case one would necessarily be false: and since both kinds of truth are from God, God would be the author of error, a thing which is impossible. Rather, since in imperfect things there is found some imitation of the perfect, though the image is deficient, in those things known by natural reason there are certain similitudes of the truths revealed by faith. Now, as sacred doctrine is founded upon the light of faith, so philosophy depends upon the light of natural reason; wherefore it is impossible that philosophical truths are contrary to those that are of faith; but they are deficient as compared to them. Nevertheless they incorporate some similitudes of those higher truths, and some things that are preparatory for them, just as nature is the preamble to grace If, however, anything is found in the teachings of the philosophers contrary to faith, this error does not properly belong to philosophy, but is due to an abuse of philosophy owing to the insufficiency of reason. Therefore also it is possible from the principles of philosophy to refute an error of this kind, either by showing it to be altogether impossible, or not to be necessary. For just as those things which are of faith cannot be demonstratively proved, so certain things contrary to them cannot be demonstratively shown to be false, but they can be shown not to be necessary. Thus, in sacred doctrine we are able to make a threefold use of philosophy: 1. First, to demonstrate those truths that are preambles of faith and that have a necessary place in the science of faith. Such are the truths about God that can be proved by natural reason—that God exists, that God is one; such truths about God or about His creatures, subject to philosophical proof, faith presupposes. 2. Secondly, to give a clearer notion, by certain similitudes, of the truths of faith, as Augustine in his book, De Trinitate, employed any comparisons taken from the teachings of the philosophers to aid understanding of the Trinity. 3. In the third place, to resist those who speak against the faith, either by showing that their statements are false, or by showing that they are not necessarily true. --- Read Fides et Ratio here http://w2.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_jp-ii_enc_14091998_fides-et-ratio.html --- Follow Emma Fradd here! <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EmmaFradd/">https://www.facebook.com/EmmaFradd/</a> 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.

5 Hacks The Experts Got From Catholics

In this episode, we hear from Catholic convert, priest, author and blogger Fr. Dwight Longenecker. We hear about his journey from an Evangelical Protestant to Anglican priest to the Catholic Church and Catholic priesthood. We learn about Fr. Longenecker's love for literature and for writing, and in particular his books commenting on our current secular age riddled with atheism and materialism. We also hear about how St. John Paul II understood the false ideas that underlie our current cultural crisis and how he sought to correct them.-- About Fr. Dwight Longenecker "I was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. After graduating from the fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a degree in Speech and English, I went to study theology at Oxford University. Eventually I was  ordained as an Anglican priest and served as a curate, a school chaplain in Cambridge and a country parson on the Isle of Wight.""Realizing that the Anglican Church and I were on divergent paths, in 1995 I and my family were received into the Catholic Church. For ten years we continued to live in England where I worked as a freelance writer and charity worker. Then in 2006 the door opened to return to the USA and be ordained as a Catholic priest.""I now serve as Pastor of Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Greenville, South Carolina." -- Visit Fr. Longenecker's website: <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/">https://dwightlongenecker.com/</a> Fr. Longenecker's new book, Beheading Hydra: A Radical Plan for Christians in an Atheistic Age, is available for purchase at his <a href="https://dwightlongenecker.com/shop/">online bookstore</a>.-- Host: Mario Costabile Cohost: Dr. David Hajduk, Ph.D.Visit our website:<a href="https://arrayofhope.org/">https://arrayofhope.org/</a> Sign up for FREE on the Array of Hope Channel app:<a href="https://watch.arrayofhope.net/">https://watch.arrayofhope.net/</a>Available on Apple TV, Roku, iOS, and Android mobile devices.

67.5 Why Norm Geisler is wrong about Aquinas and the assumption of Mary

In this week's episode, we are joined by Dr. Jeff LaCour to discuss masculine suffering, marriage, life as a doctor with 6 children, and how to grow in holiness. Suffering is not only something that happens to everyone alive today, it is the choice means God uses to move men along in holiness. Jeff gives a great testimony to the role his father played in leading him in the Catholic faith, an example all fathers need to hear.Dr. Jeff LaCour is a board-certified otolaryngologist (ENT). He studied at LSU Medical School in New Orleans and UNC-Chapel Hill. He then completed a year-long Otology fellowship in Pittsburgh, followed by a year-long Rhinology fellowship in Savannah, Georgia. He has been practicing in Hammond, Louisiana for over 10 years and is the Director of Compassio Medical Education. He is married and lives with his wife in 6 children!Compassio Medical - <a href="https://www.compassiomedical.com/">Click Here</a> 🔴 The Catholic Gentleman is On PatreonJoin the movement of The Catholic Gentleman by supporting us and getting incredible gifts as a thank you for your support: https://patreon.com/catholicgentleman Learn more about your ad choices.
