Forgive Like Christ | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Today we respond to an image of masculinity that has been adopted and admired by millions of men today but is toxic to their lives as well as society. Andrew Tate has gained billions of views and created an online program called Hustler's University that brought in over 150,000 men paying to learn how to become millionaires and get women. John and Devin are joined by a phenomenal guest and professional martial arts instructor, Jim O'Day, to discuss how this version of masculinity destroys men's lives and keeps them trapped in boyhood.In addition, we also answer a listener's question about dating a non-Catholic and what advice we have for him.Jim O'Day's Ministry - Integrity Restored - https://integrityrestored.com🔴 🔴 Watch the extended addition, all 1 h 40 mins of episode 154 on Catholic Gentleman Plus where we go into oncoming pornography and finding true purpose in life: https://catholicgentlemanplus.com✅ We love to answer questions on the show.

Andrew Tate and the Destruction of Men

Many of us stay constantly busy—doing good things, even spiritual things—without asking whether our efforts are truly fruitful or aligned with God's will. Join John and Victor in the pew this week as they reflect on the difference between scattered effort and focused, Spirit-led action. No matter what stage of life you're in, it's time to move beyond spiritual autopilot.

Pause. Pray. And ask yourself honestly: What am I doing? Why am I doing it? Where is the fruit? And what is God actually calling me to do?

After years as a Shakespearean actor, Leonardo Defilippis embarked on a spiritual journey that led him to found Catholic theater company, Saint Luke Productions, in 1980. Millions throughout the US, Canada, and Europe have seen his work as an actor, producer, and film director. Performance venues span a wide and diverse spectrum. They have included churches, major theaters, civic centers, penitentiaries, schools, and cloistered convents. Leonardo also performed at World Youth Day in Denver and Rome. His work has inspired vocations to the religious life, and he has won numerous awards over the decades.
 
One of his most ambitious projects was the direction, production, and distribution of the feature film Thérèse. This was the first motion picture distributed solely by an independent Catholic film company. Leonardo can be heard daily on Benedictus Moments. This radio and web series based on the profound meditations of Pope Benedict XVI airs on Catholic radio networks nationwide. He continues to tour with Vianney and Maximilian: Saint of Auschwitz. On August 6, 1983, the Feast of the Transfiguration, Leonardo married his beloved wife Patti. They have been blessed with seven children and reside in Washington State.
 
“When I step out in faith to serve God by doing the impossible, I am constantly astonished at the miracles God works through my inadequate abilities. That has been the story of my life, and I pray that God will continue to find me always willing to do His Will.”

Prayer to St. Joseph:
"Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man.
"Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen."
 
The Mass reading from today that I referenced is from the <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/daily-bible-reading">Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 11</a>

Hypocrites

Today we’re talking about that aching feeling that nothing’s ever enough — not the house, the car or the career. These moments arise when we expect the wrong things to bring us joy. In his book “Remade for Happiness,” Bishop Fulton Sheen explains that external gifts such as wealth or fame bring temporary pleasure, but eternal happiness can only be found by building a close relationship with God.

In this podcast, we learn that:
- Fixating on material possessions or job success creates distractions and disappointment.
- We should look for the breadcrumbs that lead us back to God.
- It’s not what you get in life, but what you give.

Aquinas' MANY Arguments For God's Existence (Dr. Joseph Trabbic) | Ep. 301

In this bonus episode, Catholic apologist Trent Horn and Protestant apologist Steve Christie (author of Why Protestant Bibles Are Smaller) debate whether Protestants have the correct old testament canon. Bios Steve Christi: I graduated from a Catholic college, where I converted to a Protestant in August 2004. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in psychology &amp; a Master of Business Administration. I was the Chairman of the Missions Committee at my former church. I have spoken at several churches in the northwest Ohio, northeast Ohio, &amp; southeast Michigan areas on the canon of Scripture, as well as the keynote speaker on the 500-year anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. I was a guest on Reason &amp; Theology (a Catholic YouTube ministry), and later I debated Gary Michuta on the canon. I have been interviewed on Christian television &amp; radio. I have been teaching home Bible studies for 13 years, and the author of two books: "Why Protestant Bibles are smaller" &amp; "Not really of us: why do children of Christian parents abandon the faith?" I currently worship at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Toledo, Ohio. Trent Horn: After his conversion to the Catholic faith, Trent Horn earned master's degrees in the fields of theology, philosophy, and bioethics. He serves as a staff apologist for Catholic Answers, where he specializes in teaching Catholics to graciously and persuasively engage those who disagree with them. Trent models that approach each week on the radio program Catholic Answers Live and on his own podcast, The Counsel of Trent.

BONUS: Do Protestants Have the Correct Old Testament Canon?

I think all of us agree that preaching the Gospel is a good thing.  I think all of us actually understand that that forms the heart of our faith.  But I don’ think all of us understand how we who are engaged in the world in secular business and in professions can actually be expected to preach the Gospel.  What does it look like for a Catholic business leader or professional to preach the Gospel?

DGT Episode 77 - Christ's Mission, Our Mission Part 11 - To Preach The Gospel

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles share personal anecdotes and deep spiritual insights, focusing on the challenge of distractions in prayer. From road trip stories to household mishaps, the hosts set the stage with relatable humor before diving into a discussion inspired by St. Thomas Aquinas and Father Frederick Faber. They explore the five fountains of distraction in prayer, offering practical advice for cultivating a deeper prayer life by addressing distractions outside of prayer time.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Opening Banter (00:00:19 - 00:04:50): David recounts his family road trip to Wyoming, including an unexpected stop in Denver and the challenges of traveling with six kids. Adam shares his chaotic week of household breakdowns, from a malfunctioning dishwasher to a beeping van door and a broken lawnmower, humorously reflecting on the "throwaway culture" he’s trying to resist.</li><li>Health Struggles (00:09:01 - 00:11:24): Adam discusses a rare bout of heartburn that kept him up at night, highlighting his lack of Tums and his struggle to lead a meeting while sleep-deprived and feverish. David relates to his heartburn experience from a past "one chip challenge" on the show.</li><li>Sponsorship Spotlight (00:12:00 - 00:12:39): The hosts thank Select International Tours, a long-time sponsor, for their reliable pilgrimage offerings. They encourage listeners to visit selectinternationaltours.com for details on their upcoming October pilgrimage to Italy, emphasizing the ideal weather and transformative experience.</li><li>What We’re Drinking (00:37:02 - 00:37:26): Adam and David enjoy Wyoming Whiskey, a bourbon David praises for its affordability ($30 in Wyoming) and delicious flavor, making it a fitting choice for the episode.</li><li>Main Topic: Distractions in Prayer (00:15:28 - 01:11:09):</li><li>Personal Reflection: Adam shares a moment of grace in adoration, where he asked God to reveal impediments in his prayer life. A distracting phone check during a conversation revealed his struggle with presence, sparking a realization about the need for focus in both human and divine relationships.</li><li>Theological Foundation: Drawing from St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica (Second Part of the Second Part) and Father Walter Farrell’s Companion to the Summa, the hosts discuss prayer as an act of the will, preceded by the intellect. They reference the Baltimore Catechism’s teaching that we are made to “know, love, and serve” God, emphasizing that knowing God fuels love, which leads to service.</li><li>Five Fountains of Distraction (Father Frederick Faber):</li></ul> <ol><li>Disordered Health: An obsession with health (valetudinarian state) can distract from tranquility in prayer, unlike true suffering, which can draw one closer to God when united with the Cross.</li><li>Actions of the Holy Spirit: Distractions can serve as a crucible to humble and purify, grounding believers in deeper devotion by burning away self-love.</li><li>The Devil: Demonic distractions are marked by their abundance, vivid imagery, soul-disquieting nature, disconnection from daily life, repetitive patterns, and potential to lead to sin. Custody of the eyes, especially against sins of the sixth and ninth commandments, is crucial to limit the devil’s influence.</li><li>Inculpable Self: Unintentional distractions arise from temperament, imagination, or poor spiritual direction, which are not deliberately chosen but still disrupt prayer.</li><li>Culpable Self: Deliberately entertained distractions are grave sins if knowingly allowed during time owed to God. These include:</li></ol> <ul><li>Bodily Sources: Lack of mortification, irreverent postures (e.g., not kneeling when able), and frequent position changes. Kneeling can orient the mind toward God, uniting discomfort with the Cross.</li><li>Mental Sources (Seven Causes):</li></ul> <ol><li>Carelessness about minute sins, which corrupt purity of intention.</li><li>Lukewarmness (tepidness), often unrecognized, blinds one to spiritual deficiencies.</li><li>Curiosity, especially a thirst for news or irrelevant knowledge, distracts from one’s vocation.</li><li>Lack of preparation for prayer, such as not reflecting beforehand or rushing in without focus.</li><li>Neglecting custody of the senses outside of prayer (e.g., excessive phone use or unchaste media).</li><li>Failing to practice ejaculatory prayers (e.g., “Jesus, I trust in you”), which redirect the mind to God.</li><li>Not addressing recurring distractions through mortification.</li></ol> <ul><li>Practical Advice: The hosts emphasize that the battle against distractions is won outside of prayer through habits like custody of the senses, scheduled prayer times, and preparation (e.g., silent reflection before adoration). Adam shares his practice of focusing on intentions during the drive to adoration, while David highlights the value of ejaculatory prayers and teaching children to offer Mass intentions.</li><li>Key Insight: Faber’s teaching that “the time of prayer is not the time for the true combat with distractions” underscores the need to build disciplined habits throughout the day, such as avoiding phone distractions during conversations or limiting exposure to sensational news.</li></ul> Events and Announcements:<ul><li>Pilgrimage to Italy (00:13:17 - 00:14:43): Join Adam and David in mid-October for a transformative pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi with Select International Tours. Limited spots remain—visit selectinternationaltours.com to sign up.</li><li>Catholic Man Show Campout: Details not mentioned in the transcript, but typically held at Clear Creek Abbey in September. Check thecatholicmanshow.com for updates.</li></ul> Resources Mentioned:<ul><li>Scripture: John 15:15 (“I no longer call you servants, but friends”).</li><li>Books:</li><li>Companion to the Summa by Father Walter Farrell (Loreto Publications).</li><li>Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales.</li><li>The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.</li><li>Other: Baltimore Catechism for teaching children the faith.</li></ul> Quotes to Ponder:<ul><li>“The heart cannot run before the head.” – Father Walter Farrell, Companion to the Summa</li><li>“The time of prayer is not the time for the true combat with distractions.” – Father Frederick Faber</li><li>“You cannot love that which you do not know.” – Adam Minahan, referencing the Baltimore Catechism</li><li>“Ejaculatory prayers are the heavenly side of distractions, thoughts of God which distract us from the world.” – Father Frederick Faber</li></ul> Call to Action:<ul><li>Reflect on your distractions in prayer and identify their sources using Faber’s five fountains.</li><li>Practice custody of the senses daily, such as limiting phone use during conversations or avoiding unchaste media.</li><li>Prepare for prayer with intentional silence or reflection, as St. Francis de Sales suggests.</li><li>Join the upcoming pilgrimage to Italy at selectinternationaltours.com.</li><li>Subscribe to The Catholic Man Show podcast for more insights and share this episode with others.</li></ul>

Focus in Prayer: Insights from Aquinas and Faber

In some ways all leadership is the same.  Individuals have to move groups of people to accomplish things in unity.  What then is the Christian difference and what does a religion of love have to do with leadership?  In this fourth part of our series on The Christian Leaders Advantage, we explore the difference that love makes in leadership.  Not only does it speak to the emotions of all involved, but it allows leaders to penetrate more deeply into what really motivates people to be their best.  And being the best of all things, why wouldn’t love make us the best of all leaders.

The Subtle Deterioration of True Professionalism with Jason Deuterman

For all the effort that goes into leadership what shall be our reward?  Afterall considering all the things that we sacrifice and do in order to make great things happen, what does God have laid up for us who have labored so hard for Him?  Is it earthly glory?  Is it power and prestige?  What should it be?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers us an amazing insight in his letter, De Regno.

Lessons from a Life in Servant Leadership w/ Dick Vollet

Can you do hard things? Can you get yourself to do things that you really don't want to do? That's what we're discussing on today's episode. Discipline, self-denial, and self-mastery are all fundamental to a Christian life. In the secular world, being disciplined might look like going to the gym regularly, eating healthy, and being productive. Why? Because all these take effort and a willingness to forego what is easy, for what is good.As Christians, being disciplined looks like going to...

Christian Discipline, Self-Denial and Self-Mastery (Part 1)

Does modern science point to God? In this powerful episode of&nbsp;A Reason for Hope, Dr. David Hajduk sits down with renowned Catholic priest, philosopher, and physicist&nbsp;Fr. Robert Spitzer, SJ. He explains why today’s discoveries in physics and cosmology strongly support the existence of a Creator. Drawing on cutting-edge research, Fr. Spitzer shows why&nbsp;multiverse theories fail&nbsp;to explain the extraordinary fine-tuning of the universe. From the precise constants of physics and chemistry to the mathematical improbability of a life-permitting cosmos, the evidence points beyond chance and material causes. As Fr. Spitzer explains, the data increasingly suggests the work of a&nbsp;“super-calculating intellect”&nbsp;behind the universe itself. This episode also explores why a growing number of&nbsp;physicists, scientists, and medical doctors&nbsp;now believe in God—and why younger scientists are embracing faith at even higher rates. Using insights from leading figures such as&nbsp;Stephen Hawking,&nbsp;Thomas Hertog, and&nbsp;NASA scientist Robert Jastrow, Fr. Spitzer demonstrates how science and Catholic faith are not in conflict, but deeply complementary. Whether you are seeking answers about the&nbsp;origin of the universe, the&nbsp;relationship between science and religion, or solid&nbsp;Catholic apologetics&nbsp;for God’s existence, this conversation offers clarity, depth, and hope. 👉 Topics include:<ul><li>Fine-tuning of the universe</li><li>Why the multiverse cannot explain creation</li><li>Scientific evidence for God</li><li>Faith and reason in Catholic teaching</li><li>Why science points beyond itself</li><li> </li></ul>This episode is ideal for Catholics, students, skeptics, and anyone searching for rational evidence that&nbsp;God created the universe. -Support our Sponsors-<a href="https://bit.ly/3UaE1t2" target="_blank">Ave Maria Mutual Funds</a> - Ave Maria Mutual Funds is the largest family of Catholic mutual funds in the U.S. <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> -Follow Fr.
