Patti Defilippis is the director of all the Saint Luke Productions live dramas and the screenwriter for the feature film Thérèse. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater, she began her career at the Alley Theater in Houston, Texas. She then acted in the Fort Worth Shakespeare Festival, as well as various dinner theaters. Expanding to the West Coast, Patti performed with the Oregon Shakespearean Festival in Ashland, Oregon. There, she met her husband, Leonardo Defilippis. While in Ashland, she experienced a conversion to Catholicism, which changed the direction of her theatrical career. Since coming into the Church, Patti has enjoyed more than 45 years directing, writing and performing in the spiritual films and plays of Saint Luke Productions. Although she was trained as an actress, she finds the behind-the-scenes elements of theater and film more rewarding. She enjoys collaborating in, refining, and editing Leonardo’s broad and ambitious vision for a new Catholic presence in the media.

Responding to Transgenderism With Truth and Mercy (Jason Evert) | Ep. 395

The non-Christian world can paint a vision of capitalism wherein the owner or the boss rules over the workers – exacting from them the maximum of energies in the most efficient way possible for the maximum profit.  Is this the vision that God has for our work?  In its landmark document from 2011, the Catholic Church lays out six principles to guide business leaders.  Its third principle holds that business ought to be for the benefit of the employees as well as the customer.  Here’s how this can be done.

140: Intro to Aquinas (Yeeeey!)

Even if you&apos;re a father, it&apos;s imperative to understand what it means to be a son of God the Father

Understanding Sonship

Few saints exemplify the power of Catholic leadership more than a simple Italian nun named St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.  Although plagued with bad health and many restrictions in her life she found a way to be incredibly productive founding schools, orphanages, and hospitals on four continents.  She teaches us to overcome whatever lies in our way as we pursue God’s will – sharing with us her personal motto, “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.”

DGT Episode 290 - Pushing The Envelope Like Frances Cabrini - Leadership Lessons From The Saints Part 8

Today we'll take a look at what Thomas Aquinas has to say about our Lord's words, "the words I have spoken to you are spirit and life." John 6:63. I'll also give 5 reasons that our Lord's words do NOT mean the Eucharist is metaphorical.

50: Should we call Mary the "Mother of God"?

How we can defend our faith without sounding self-righteous.
&nbsp;
&hellip;
&nbsp;
Hosts Pat Lencioni and Chris Stefanick give a daily reflection for Christians in the workplace.

Defending God

In his encyclical letter, Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIII makes an astounding claim.  He claims that the involvement of religion in the affairs of the state and the economy is necessary as a means to regulate and perfect the potentials of the same.  The same can be applies to each one of us in our workplaces where we lead.  Understanding how our faith impacts the well running of our offices can help us be convinced of the power of our faith in our business.

DGT Episode 201 - The Power Of A Christian Leader - The Jewels In Rerum Novarum Part 3

In this episode of A Reason For Hope&nbsp;Podcast, Dr. David Hajduk welcomes&nbsp;Monsignor Charles Pope, author of&nbsp;The Hell There Is, to discuss the often-overlooked&nbsp;Catholic teaching on Hell. They explore why the&nbsp;Catholic doctrine&nbsp;of&nbsp;eternal damnation&nbsp;matters for the&nbsp;Catholic faith&nbsp;today, and how the&nbsp;Church teaching on Hell&nbsp;is essential for understanding&nbsp;salvation,&nbsp;which was purchased for us&nbsp;by Jesus Christ. Monsignor shares insights from his ministry and writing, offering a challenging yet hopeful message for&nbsp;Catholic evangelization&nbsp;and&nbsp;Catholic hope. We talk about the&nbsp;fear of the Lord,&nbsp;Catholic morality, and the “last things”—death, judgment,&nbsp;heaven, and hell—and how recovering this teaching can renew&nbsp;Catholic culture&nbsp;and help us engage in&nbsp;spiritual warfare&nbsp;with courage. Monsignor Pope reminds us that&nbsp;judgment&nbsp;is not meant to paralyze us with fear, but to call us to deeper faith and trust in God’s mercy, leading us to the joy of Heaven. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/4btLSYF" target="_blank">Magnificat</a> - A simple way to transform the way you pray.<a href="https://bit.ly/44nYYUw" target="_blank">Scapulars.com</a> - 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">Donate Here</a><a href="https://arrayofhope.org/events/" target="_blank">Book an Event</a> -Follow Us On Social Media-<a href="https://facebook.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Facebook</a><a href="https://instagram.com/r4hpodcast" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">Instagram</a><a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCPH3snA7zc0XEv7f6LOUOPg" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">YouTube </a>&nbsp; ⏰Timecode⏰00:00 Introduction02:22 Conversation Starts03:07 The Role of Music in Monsignor's Faith and Vocation05:45 The Neglect of Hell in Modern Teaching10:37 Magnificat11:17 Scapulars.com12:02 Donate13:51 Recovering the plot of Sacred Scripture 18:40 Misunderstandings about Hell23:06 The Nature of God and Human Freedom28:03 The Consequences of Rejecting the Doctrine of Hell30:58 Universalism and Its Challenges34:03 Dispelling Teaching about Hell as Fear Mongering36:28 The Eternal Nature of Hell41:26 The Importance of Liturgy and Sacraments43:15 Restoring Balance: The Good News and Bad News

Today we discuss how your physical health and wellness go hand in hand with your development in virtue and growth in holiness. Dr. Kevin Vost joins us to address the huge rise in diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, liver disease, obesity, and other health-related illnesses in society today. We go into the false notion that you are either physically strong or mentally strong and that the integration of the two leads to a more grateful, loving, healthy, and holy life. Do we have a moral obligation to take care of ourselves and what is the correct balance? You Are That Temple - https://www.sophiainstitute.com/products/item/you-are-that-templeKevin Vost, Psy.D., is the author of twenty books including Memorize the Faith! and How to Think Like Aquinas and has taught psychology at Aquinas College in Nashville, Tennessee, the University of Illinois at Springfield, Lincoln Land Community College, and MacMurray College.

Evangelizing Without Being Weird with Nick Meyer

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John discuss a great pathway this Lent for men. Formed by many years guiding men in the desert to better understand themselves and grow in their union with Christ, Fr. Innocent Montgomery, C.F.R. shares his wisdom with us for this Lent and beyond. We share in his joy as a Franciscan Friar, hear great stories, and learn why he felt called to write a book for men that guides us through Lent and the Easter Octave.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>The depravity of modern man</li>
<li>How to experience being an adopted son of God</li>
<li>An incredible Franciscan order</li>
<li>How a deeper interpersonal relationship with Christ is what we all need</li>
<li>And more…</li>
</ul> Born of Fire - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Born-Fire-Father-Innocent-Montgomery/dp/B09V3WCG85#:~:text=Description,'new%20man'%20this%20Lent.">Click Here</a>Fr. Innocent Montgomery, CFR grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska as one of a triplet, and his triplet brother is also a CFR priest. He attended Saint Gregory the Great Seminary for his undergrad in philosophy. He entered the Friars in 2007 and spent many joyful years serving the homeless and drug addicts at Saint Anthony’s Shelter in the Bronx. He made his final vows in 2012 and was ordained to the priesthood in 2016. His master’s thesis work in seminary was in Christological anthropology. He now serves as the Postulant Director for the CFRs, accompanying the young brothers in early formation as they learn how to pray, live in fraternity, and love and serve the poor. One of his greatest joys is to bless people in their identity as sons and daughters of the Father.🔴 The Catholic Gentleman Podcast happens because of our generous donors, including monthly donations of any amount.

AVOIDING Gluttony and Lust: 8 Evil Thoughts Episode 1 | Mthr Natalia

Episode 199: What Could I Possibly Have to Offer Jesus? 

This week John dives into our feeling of having nothing to offer. Jesus fed the 5000 with just a few loaves of bread that a boy offered, so why do we doubt what he can do with us? You were born for a REASON! Listen to this episode to find out how to live into that reason! 

In this episode, John points out:

- The devil tells you to “sit back down” and discount your gifts
- A “yes” to Jesus leads to abundance
- Living in the scriptures is CRUCIAL
- You gotta quit thinking about your poverty.

What Could I Possibly Have To Offer Jesus?

Anyone who has achieved any level of success in their life knows that much of their success is a result of hard work.  And yet at the same time hard work is hard to do.  Many people don’t see the importance of hard work in forming the character of a leader and yet when Christ formed his twelve apostles he shared the labors of evangelization with them.  And he invited his apostles to embrace labor as a part of their life.  How did this help form his apostles to be the bold leaders they would need to be and what role does hard work play in our life as leaders today.

DGT Episode 223 - Christ Put His Apostles To Work - The Call Part 5

So much of what makes a leader successful comes from their ability to take people where they need to go.  If we don’t have vision then we really are the blind leading the blind.  But oddly enough when it comes to shaping our culture it seems that many people don’t know what we should be aiming at.  The world will indicate many different values as its’ arbiter of success, but what does Jesus ask for from us?  What does our Lord ask for from a follower of His in the culture in which we live?  How do we aim at the right things?

DGT Episode 260 - Aiming At The Right Things - Impact Culture For Christ Part 3

"Where your treasure is, there also will your heart be." Matthew 6:21

Join John and Victor in the Lenten journey on the 7 Deadly Sins this week as they discuss the sin of Greed. Our possessions, time, and talents are gifts from the Lord and how often we allow our attachments to these things to control us and rob us of our joy and living a life of freedom with the Lord. Hoard not the things of the world, but virtue, prayer, time with Him. How do we combat greed? Charity. Generosity. Seeing everything as a gift. "The greedy man is really not rich, but poor. He does not control his money but is controlled by it. He does not possess his wealth but is possessed by it. He may have many things, yet for him he has all too little." ~ St. Anthony of Padua 

Scripture passages to pray with:
-1 Timothy 6:10
-Matthew 6:19-21
-Luke 12:16-34

In this episode: 
-Letting go of fear and grasping for possessions and turning in trust to the Lord
-Not letting our possessions possess us
-"Everything is disappointing except the Redemptive Love of our Lord." ~ Archbishop Fulton Sheen 
-No one can serve two masters...you cannot serve God and money (Matthew 6:24)

We also discuss: - The urgency and scale of the problem of pornography in the world. - The effects of pornography on men. - The evils of pornography. - Understanding the role God must play in helping us break free. <a href="https://pints.mattfradd.com/pwa-confessions-signup/">Sign up for my free course on St. Augustine's "Confessions"!</a> SPONSORS Hallow: <a href="http://hallow.app/mattfradd">http://hallow.app/mattfradd</a> STRIVE: <a href="https://www.strive21.com/">https://www.strive21.com/</a> Homeschool Connections: <a href="https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/">https://homeschoolconnections.com/matt/</a> GIVING Patreon or Directly: <a href="https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/">https://pintswithaquinas.com/support/ </a> This show (and all the plans we have in store) wouldn't be possible without you.

Breaking Free From Pornography (Fr. Sean Kilcawley) | Ep. 282

Today, we’re going to hear Victor Adams’ story; it’s about a boy who grows up thinking he needs to be what others expect of him and a young man who realizes that living a life of integrity means accepting God’s plan instead.

In this episode we’ll learn that:
- We are sometimes so afraid that we’ll disappoint other people, we don’t allow ourselves to see God’s plan for us.
- Taking up the cross and following Christ is never easy, but it’s vital if we’re going to live with integrity.
- It’s important as Christians that we preach by the way we live.
- Jesus is the best example of someone who led with integrity, even when it was very hard.

Mercy

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss stress and its attempt to rob us of our right to experience God's peace.

Stress

Contrary to the way most Saints make it seem, suffering is actually NOT that fun. Shocking right?!

Rule #1 on this show: We cannot compare our sufferings. When we are in the midst of suffering, we often just want it to be over! God allows all things, so how should we react to these growing pains in our spiritual life? 

In this episode you will hear John say:

- “Go on with your bad self Mary Magdalene de Pazzi” 
- “Our life as Christians is a maturing process” 
- “These things too shall pass” 
- “Suffering”

Why a SOUTHERN BAPTIST Turned Lutheran Converted to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church

Holy Smokes. Not just an exclamation, but a perfect reaction to an episode where sports, surprises, and the sacred collide. 
In this final 2024 episode of They That Hope, Deacon Bob shares the electric experience of standing in the tunnel as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the field, while Father Dave recounts something even more awe-inspiring: a private audience with Pope Francis in the Vatican. From the roar of NFL fans to the quiet reverence of the Pope’s library, the hosts explore the breadth of human experience, and the divine grace that fills it. 
They also dive into sky-high sports salaries (looking at you, Juan Soto), the mission of Franciscan University, and the heart of Christmas: Emmanuel, God with us. And yes, there's movie talk, praying cards, and a plea not to sing at Wicked.

A moving conversation about <a href='https://www.catholicapostolatecenter.org/blog/emmanuel-god-with-us'>the meaning of Emmanuel</a> and Pope Francis’ summary of the kerygma: that Jesus not only died for us, but lives beside us daily—to strengthen, enlighten, and free.

Holy Smokes!

In this episode, Victor and I tackle one of the most relatable topics in faith: spiritual desolation. 

I open up about my personal struggles with feeling distant from God and how even saints like Mother Teresa faced years of spiritual dryness. Together, we explore what desolation really means and how it can impact our prayer life, mindset, and overall connection with God.

Drawing inspiration from St. Ignatius of Loyola and the teachings of Mother Teresa, we break down how to push through these tough times, offering practical advice on perseverance, prayer, and trusting God’s will even when it feels like He’s far away.

If you've ever felt stuck in your spiritual journey, this episode offers a reminder that you're not alone—and that there’s a way forward.

📚 Bible verses for reflection:

John 7:37-38 – "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’"

Psalm 40:1-2 – "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."

Romans 8:28 – "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

James 1:2-3 – "Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness."

James 1:12 – "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."

Relieving Post-Traumatic Stress & Calming Anxiety (Dr. Gerry Crete) | Ep.449

Today on Pints with Aquinas, I'm joined by Fr. James Brent, O.P. Fr. James is professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies, and one of the most brilliant, articulate, and convincing people I've ever met. During this conversation, we dig into the philosophical soil in which atheism grows — particularly the materialist, mechanicist, nominalist, skeptic, and relativist worldviews so prevalent in our culture. We'll tackle the BIG issues, like: • Why saying there is a God or there is no God represent two radically different worldviews • How atheism is, historically, a minority position, and what's happened to change this minority position in modern times • Why true science is actually neutral about the question of God's existence • Why it feels like you're rejecting science when you reject materialism (HINT: You're not!) • The five negative positions that constitute "big tent" Platonism, and why this list is invaluable in discussions with atheists... If you enjoy BIG conversations, then grab your notepad and pen because you're really going to enjoy this episode!

Why People Become Atheists (Fr. James Brent, OP) | Ep. 219

The BeatiDudes are on location at the DCYC and proudly welcome Mari Pablo, the second female guest to the show. Mari provides the Dudes with insight about her keynote talk on the Eucharist and delivers a message that is both simple and profound as she reminds us that knowing Jesus is the most important step to living out our faith daily.

The Lord Sees You, Knows You, and Loves You | Mari Pablo | Episode #102

It isn’t a surprise to anyone that life comes with a lot of challenges. In fact, there are a lot of reasons men feel tempted to give up hope, whether it’s struggling with habitual sin, difficulty in their marriage, or financial problems. That’s why I invited Deacon Jeff into the studio this week to talk about hope!

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 - How to put your hope in Jesus Christ rather than in other things like money or security.
 - How to LIVE a life of hope in Jesus Christ, instead of just saying you have hope in Him.
 - How to fight despair when troubles come your way.
 - How hope can only come when you are also living with faith and love.
 - And more!

Interview Ralph Martin

In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield discusses the importance of respect, particularly in the context of relationships between men and women. He highlights the difference between men&#39;s preference for respect and women&#39;s preference for love.
Nathan explores the idea that respect is earned and not an entitlement and how an entitlement mentality can hinder the development of respect. He also touches on the Red Pill movement and the pursuit of money, power, pleasure, and honor as idols that can lead to an unfulfilling life.
Nathan emphasizes the need for self-respect and the importance of setting boundaries in relationships and business. He emphasizes the need to ground self-respect in reality and highlights the fulfillment that comes from living a life of virtue and influence. Nathan also explores the role of respect from God and others, the importance of choosing who to respect, and the impact of profession and work on one&#39;s respectability.
He concludes by emphasizing the significance of character and the virtues that contribute to becoming a respectable man

A Devoted Anglican Becomes a Devout Catholic

In our work with the Catholic leader, one of the most sensitive subjects is whether or not they should make money.  For some reason making a profit in our business has been associated with guilt and corruption.  But is this association always accurate?  Is it okay for a Catholic business leader to actually make a profit?  And if they do make a profit what are they supposed to do with it?  How does Christ qualify our success and how does a profitable Christian business look different from those of the world?

DGT Episode170 - A Business Should Make Money - Six Practical Principles For Business Part 5

Today we talk to our Lord's words, "let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid." And we see what Thomas Aquinas has to say on the matter. Also, here's the prayer I wanted to share with you. Father, I give you thanks, for you have qualified me to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the dominion of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of your beloved Son in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. You are the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. By you all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through you and for you. And you are before all things, and in you all things hold together. You are the head of the body, the church. You are the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything you might be preeminent. For in you all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through you all things have been reconciled, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of your cross. And though I was once alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, you have now reconciled in your body of flesh by your death, in order to present me holy and blameless and above reproach before you.

John and Hector have been friends for many years now and are finally getting a chance to meet in studio to talk about their mutual love of the Scriptures.  Hector is a brilliant evangelist with a story, just like the rest of us, that led him to a relationship with Christ and a deep love of Scripture.

Today, we’re celebrating Pentecost – the birth of the Church and the powerful movement of the Holy Spirit. 🕊️

We’re diving into why Pentecost feels like celebrating everyone’s birthday at Mass. We’ll also explore the boldness of the apostles in Acts. This isn’t just a story – it's real. The Holy Spirit has been with us for 2000 years, helping us live without fear and with grace. We're here for a purpose, and the Holy Spirit reveals that.

Are you open to the Holy Spirit, or are you holding back? Everyone has a gift – are you living in that truth and praying for an increase in your gifts? We’re called to live our faith boldly through prayer, wisdom, courage, and holy boldness.

The Holy Spirit protects your faith – rely on Him in everything. When we bear fruit by the Holy Spirit, we find joy, peace, and contentment. Christ provides what we lack. On our own, we don’t have everything we need, but with the Holy Spirit, we do. It’s about recognizing and using what we’ve been given. Make the choice to live your faith fully.

You never outgrow the fundamentals. You simply move more deeply into them. For anyone - the kettlebell novice to the 15-year veteran - this short (read: just 30 page) ebook provides the perfect foundation or refresher of the fundamental kettlebell techniques, including the kettlebell swing, goblet squat, snatch, Turkish get up, clean, and military press. Each movement has detailed instructions plus step-by-step photos to help the reader understand the movements as well as safely and effectively execute them.
After we discuss the hows of each of the basic movements, we move into applying what we've learned with a simple, straightforward kettlebell program for strength, muscle, mobility, conditioning, and (for those who want it) weight loss. This 7-day program can be run through just once as a refresher or for up to six weeks as a standalone program.

The Self-Esteem Generation | Ep 267

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  The same could be said about the road to failure.  The difference between success and failure is often the ability to try.  But this is exactly what is difficult for many of us.  We can have the greatest intentions and the most noble aspirations but passing into action seems to be on of the hardest things to do.  Does faith offer us any remedy?  Does grace give us any advantage in taking the plunge of leadership?

Does God Exist? (Alex Plato) | Ep. 389

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss Vulnerability as the first step towards becoming the man God created you to be.

Vulnerability

Today we'll begin a three part series on John 8:1-11 (The woman caught in adultery). 🔴 Patreon: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd">https://www.patreon.com/mattfradd</a> 📖 Here is the text from the ESV: but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning, he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more."

Remembrance is at the heart of the Christian life. When we forget who we are and Whose we are, we often fail to see the great gift of our lives and the abundant blessings we have received. Join John and Victor as they challenge us to focus not simply on the material gifts of Christmas, but on The Gift of Christ and his saving power in our lives.

Freedom After a Homosexual Lifestyle (Kim Zember) | Ep. 411

Where are your eyes? 

In the midst of the storms of life, we are often focused on the winds, the waves, and the darkness, tempted to cling to someone or something other than the Lord. Join John and his dear friend, Fr. Malachy, CFR, as they follow the example of St. Francis in focusing not on the confusion and disunity of the world, but on Jesus alone. Because Francis allowed himself to be changed by Jesus, he changed the world around him. Will we, too, allow our hearts to be the place where the rebuilding of the Church begins? 

Found in this episode:
-Where am I looking in the storms of life: Jesus or the darkness?
-Conforming our hearts to Christ alone
-What am I clinging to other than Jesus?
-Recognizing that Christ is with us now and always

Division And Disunity With Fr. Malachy CFR

On the contrary, It is written (Matthew 25:46): "These," namely the wicked, "shall go into everlasting punishment." Further, as reward is to merit, so is punishment to guilt. Now, according to Divine justice, an eternal reward is due to temporal merit: "Every one who seeth the Son and believeth in Him hath [Vulgate: 'that everyone . . . may have'] life everlasting." Therefore according to Divine justice an everlasting punishment is due to temporal guilt. Further, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 5), punishment is meted according to the dignity of the person sinned against, so that a person who strikes one in authority receives a greater punishment than one who strikes anyone else. Now whoever sins mortally sins against God, Whose commandments he breaks, and Whose honor he gives another, by placing his end in some one other than God. But God's majesty is infinite. Therefore whoever sins mortally deserves infinite punishment; and consequently it seems just that for a mortal sin a man should be punished for ever. I answer that, Since punishment is measured in two ways, namely according to the degree of its severity, and according to its length of time, the measure of punishment corresponds to the measure of fault, as regards the degree of severity, so that the more grievously a person sins the more grievously is he punished: "As much as she hath glorified herself and lived in delicacies, so much torment and sorrow give ye to her" (Apocalypse 18:7). The duration of the punishment does not, however, correspond with the duration of the fault, as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xxi, 11), for adultery which is committed in a short space of time is not punished with a momentary penalty even according to human laws [Cf. I-II, 87, 3, ad 1]. But the duration of punishment regards the disposition of the sinner: for sometimes a person who commits an offense in a city is rendered by his very offense worthy of being cut off entirely from the fellowship of the citizens, either by perpetual exile or even by death: whereas sometimes he is not rendered worthy of being cut off entirely from the fellowship of the citizens. wherefore in order that he may become a fitting member of the State, his punishment is prolonged or curtailed, according as is expedient for his amendment, so that he may live in the city in a becoming and peaceful manner. So too, according to Divine justice, sin renders a person worthy to be altogether cut off from the fellowship of God's city, and this is the effect of every sin committed against charity, which is the bond uniting this same city together. Consequently, for mortal sin which is contrary to charity a person is expelled for ever from the fellowship of the saints and condemned to everlasting punishment, because as Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xxi, 11), "as men are cut off from this perishable city by the penalty of the first death, so are they excluded from that imperishable city by the punishment of the second death." That the punishment inflicted by the earthly state is not deemed everlasting is accidental, either because man endures not for ever, or because the state itself comes to an end. Wherefore if man lived for ever, the punishment of exile or slavery, which is pronounced by human law, would remain in him for ever. On the other hand, as regards those who sin in such a way as not to deserve to be entirely cut off from the fellowship of the saints, such as those who sin venially, their punishment will be so much the shorter or longer according as they are more or less fit to be cleansed, through sin clinging to them more or less: this is observed in the punishments of this world and of purgatory according to Divine justice. We find also other reasons given by the saints why some are justly condemned to everlasting punishment for a temporal sin. One is because they sinned against an eternal good by despising eternal life. This is mentioned by Augustine (De Civ. Dei. xii, 12): "He is become worthy of eternal evil, who destroyed in himself a good which could be eternal." Another reason is because man sinned in his own eternity [Cf. I-II, 87, 3, ad 1]; wherefore Gregory says (Dial. iv), it belongs to the great justice of the judge that those should never cease to be punished, who in this life never ceased to desire sin. And if it be objected that some who sin mortally propose to amend their life at some time, and that these accordingly are seemingly not deserving of eternal punishment, it must be replied according to some that Gregory speaks of the will that is made manifest by the deed. For he who falls into mortal sin of his own will puts himself in a state whence he cannot be rescued, except God help him: wherefore from the very fact that he is willing to sin, he is willing to remain in sin for ever. For man is "a wind that goeth," namely to sin, "and returneth not by his own power" (Psalm 77:39). Thus if a man were to throw himself into a pit whence he could not get out without help, one might say that he wished to remain there for ever, whatever else he may have thought himself. Another and a better answer is that from the very fact that he commits a mortal sin, he places his end in a creature; and since the whole of life is directed to its end, it follows that for this very reason he directs the whole of his life to that sin, and is willing to remain in sin forever, if he could do so with impunity. This is what Gregory says on Job 41:23, "He shall esteem the deep as growing old" (Moral. xxxiv): "The wicked only put an end to sinning because their life came to an end: they would indeed have wished to live for ever, that they might continue in sin for ever for they desire rather to sin than to live." Still another reason may be given why the punishment of mortal sin is eternal: because thereby one offends God Who is infinite. Wherefore since punishment cannot be infinite in intensity, because the creature is incapable of an infinite quality, it must needs be infinite at least in duration. And again there is a fourth reason for the same: because guilt remains for ever, since it cannot be remitted without grace, and men cannot receive grace after death; nor should punishment cease so long as guilt remains. --- 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.
