his masterful Summa theologiae? Bishop Barron

WOF 021: How and Why to Read Thomas Aquinas

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, confront the sinful Jewish leadership who are seeking to kill Him and reveals that they are sons of the devil. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Hope so he can always pray for the salvation of non-Catholic Christians. We’ll also consider the need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Knowledge from the Holy Spirit so his free will is guided by the Spirit.

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob discuss current news, golf, a perfect game, appropriate ways to celebrate secular holidays at Mass, and the dangers of “new” Gnosticism.

Star-Spangled Vestments

The atheist political commentator and television host Bill Maher has long been a bitter critic of Christianity. In additional to regular swipes at Christians on his shows, Maher also devoted an entire documentary film, sardonically entitled Religulous, to lampoon what he takes to be Christianity’s moral and theological absurdities. However, Maher has recently tempered his anti-Christian rhetoric and started focusing his biting wit on criticizing progressive woke ideology and condemning positions like neo-racism, the denial of biology, and the stifling of free speech in ways that the Catholic tradition would largely agree with. In light of this apparent shift, is it time for people of faith to reassess Bill Maher? Has one of Christianity’s most vocal opponents now become an ally or, perhaps, even a friend?  A listener asks, “What is truth?” 00:00 | Intro 01:32 | Bishop Barron’s recent diaconate ordinations 02:35 | Bill Maher’s analysis of religion 04:47 | What rationalism misses in its critique of religion 06:35 | Historic interpretive strategies for reading the Bible 10:31 | Freedom of speech and cancel culture 12:14 | On racial emphases 14:11 | Equality vs. equity 17:05 | Oppressors and the oppressed 18:21 | The philosophical roots of classical liberalism 20:01 | The value of classical liberalism over political progressivism 22:14 | Critiquing classical liberalism 26:18 | Is classical liberalism necessarily doomed? 28:39 | Finding points of agreement 30:41 | Listener question 32:48 | Join the Word on Fire Institute   Links: <ul> <li>Religulous: <a href= "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815241/quotes/">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815241/quotes/</a></li> <li>Bishop Barron’s CNN article: <a href= "https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/28/opinions/catholic-bishop-found-an-ally-in-bill-maher-barron/index.html" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/28/opinions/catholic-bishop-found-an-ally-in-bill-maher-barron/index.html</a></li> <li>Word on Fire Institute: <a href= "https://institute.wordonfire.org/">https://institute.wordonfire.org/</a></li> </ul>   NOTE: Do you like this podcast? <a href= "https://www.wordonfire.org/ignite-wof-show" target="_blank" rel= "noreferrer noopener">Become a Word on Fire IGNITE member</a>!

WOF 441: Did Bill Maher Become an Ally?

Today we share the second half of Bishop Baron's talk titled "Knocking Holes in the Buffered Self: Approaches to the Question of God." (<a href= "https://www.wordonfireshow.com/episode274/">Click here to listen to the first half.</a>) He gave the talk at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary as part of their Kenrick Lecture series. Many—especially the young—in today’s time have absented themselves from the practice of faith. Our culture and time is anomalous in the extreme, in that it’s the first ever to widely entertain God’s nonexistence. Christians, at least in the West, are facing a practically unprecedented crisis of disaffiliation. But there are paths out of the cave, and that's what Bishop Barron reveals.

WOF 276: Approaches to the Question of God (Part 2 of 2)

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

WOF 236: Introducing “The Word on Fire Bible”

John Heinen meets with Dan Burke to dive into how we can clearly know God's will in our lives. Looking at the great Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus, we discuss the truths that everyone needs to hear and commit to memory. We often view our relationship with God as some sort of game to be won, rather than a loving union to be experienced and strengthened. Our decisions can be flooded with stress and anxiety, and our suffering can feel isolating. However, we can find peace in the storms of our struggles; even in the uncertainty of our decisions, God's will can be known, and aligning our lives with it is the ultimate victory.<h2>Podcast Sponsor: </h2>Exodus 90 - https://exodus90.com/catholicgentleman<h2>COUPON CODE: AVILA20</h2>BOOK: Finding Peace in the Storm by Dan Burke - https://shop.spiritualdirection.com/product/finding-peace-in-the-storm/Into the Deep by Dan Burke - https://shop.spiritualdirection.com/product/into-the-deep/https://avila-institute.org/🔴 Fr.

BONUS: Abortion Debate - Stephanie Gray Connors Vs Abortionist, Dr. Malcom Potts

At nineteen years old, Nathan Pinto dropped to his knees and asked God to prove that He was a loving and caring God by addressing a series of 10 questions. If God was able to address these questions, Nathan promised to commit the rest of his life to God. As Nathan recalls, the answers came, and Nathan found himself slowly becoming less wild and more holy. Halfway through college, Nathan jokingly prayed during the last rivalry football game between Texas A&amp;M and the University of Texas that he would finish his education at whichever school won the game. Texas A&amp;M lost on a last-second field goal, and Nathan soon transferred. He is known to be intense. That intensity thread continues throughout Nathan’s rollercoaster journey of discernment and entrepreneurship that you must hear to believe. Nathan’s story includes launching a startup with his students while teaching at a Jesuit prep school, creating a retail marketplace for goat meat, taking on the payday loan issues, and eventually launching the company that consumes a large part of his current focus, a financial tech company called Credit Mountain. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the dudes must take on the persona of a legendary rock star to address the prompt, “Love is patient, love is kind, love is _______.” The TBD Question on the day – When was a time that you misjudged a situation, and then when you learned more, your perspective shifted entirely?The show closes with a reverse Simpsons, during which the Dudes try to impress Nathan with new business names and taglines.

KICKED OUT of Seminary Due to Start-Up Success | Nathan Pinto | Episode #053

Amongst the great minds of western civilization, St. Thomas Aquinas holds a very special place.  As a Catholic priest he united the depths of our faith with the real practical situations that people face every day.  He does this in an amazing way when it comes to making decisions.  And for all of us in the working world, we know how important this skill set is.  In this first of a series, I try to open the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas to help us learn an essential skill for our leadership. How to ask for advice?

Today, John Heinen and Devin Schadt discuss the richness of Christmas traditions and how they improve everyone's lives. Find out why Christmas is celebrated on December 25th, the meaning of the term Xmas, and why we have multiple feast days we are told to enjoy within Christmastide. We also discuss the depths of the Protestants' historical revolt against Christmas and the secular attempt to rid it of its meaning.

How Catholics Celebrate Christmas Better Than Anyone

When was the last time you placed your trust in someone only to get burned; to have that trust violated?  I recently received a letter from a fifty-seven year old woman who found out when she was fourteen that she was adopted, not by her adoptive mother telling her but from an aunt who told her that she was not really part of the family.  Deacon Harold breaks open Word of God Wednesday talking about the Sunday mass readings and how it applies to our lives. Also looking at Soullful Psalm 80:15-20

7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

I’d like to share about the leadership of St. Paul.  This man’s incredible passion and drive changed the Church.  But like so many great men he had a past.  How did Paul deal with what he had done towards God and God’s people?  How did his past shape his future?  And what can we do when we realize that we too are guilty of doing wrong?  How does it affect our leadership?

DGT Episode 52 - Paul, A Saint With A Past - St. Paul Part 1

“It’s not enough to just quit sinning. You have to lose your affection for sin.” This week Deacon Jeff and John talk about what it means to amend your life and detach from the sins we are so bonded to. Have you ever wondered why you fall prey to the same habits again and again? 

In this week’s episode John and Deacon Jeff discuss: 
- What it means to FIRMLY RESOLVE to sin no more.
- What we can learn from Jason Bourne.
- Wishing isn't planning - we must take preventative actions.
- Grace is a gift, but we cannot be presumptuous about it 
- You have to quit dancing around your sins and break up with them

#CatholicPodcast #JustaGuyinthePew #Contrition #AmendYourLife

Have I Really Amended My Life?

Jesus warns men to repent and be obedient to the Almighty Father to be received into Heaven in the Parable of the Two Sons. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Gift of Counsel from the Holy Spirit so he can more perfectly do the Almighty Father’s Holy Will and by pursuing the Virtue of Prudence so he can recognize his sins and quickly repent when he fails to do God’s Will.

Today we share Bishop Barron’s presentation entitled “Breaking Through the Buffered Self,” which he offered for the prestigious 2022 Albert Cardinal Meyer Lecture series hosted at Mundelein Seminary back in March 2022. In the talk, Bishop Barron looks at the intellectual matrix that has made the army of the disaffiliated possible, namely, what Charles Taylor calls the culture of the “buffered self,” the ego cut off from any living contact with the transcendent. Then, using the three great transcendentals—the good, the true, and the beautiful—as his framework, he proposes ways to break through the buffered self and to open the restless heart to a consideration of God and the things of God. (This is Part I of his lecture series. We will share Part II on a future episode.)

Envy

As anyone who has ever had to manage people can tell you, jealousy is one of the most dangerous passions to rule in the workplace.  Where people are jealous division will ensue and teamwork will corrode.  We who are in charge of our teams needs to watch for jealousy and ward against it.  Pope St. Gregory The Great in his “Rule Of Shepherds” Book 3 gives us some valuable insights we can apply as we try to lead our workplace with Christ.

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 Perfection of Charity, reveal the necessity of forgiving others and offers a frightening warning to men about the awful fate of men who fail to forgive in the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to seek the Gift of Piety from the Holy Spirit so he can have great sorrow for his sins and seek true forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance.  We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to seek the fruit of love from the Holy Spirit so a man can get the help he needs to forgive those who are difficult to forgive.

The Holiest Week of the Year

Most Christians today recognize the importance of engaging our culture with the Gospel.  Changes are afoot that would radically alter the way that we raise our families and understand our fundamental freedoms.  This sense of urgency has led many to find the most effective ways to impact the culture.  How do we transform a culture before it transforms us?  One of the most overlooked methods, however, is the simplest: the direct encounter we can have with the people around us.  If cultural leadership were football, this would be the ground game, and this is the method our Lord, Himself, showed us.

WARNING: this episode contains adult content that may not be suitable for younger listeners. In this episode replay, we speak with Jordan Burke, a former policeman, who in seeking justice fell into bitterness, resentment, and anger.

His powerful conversion story brings up conversations of God's mercy, physical healing, spiritual healing, and the pathway forward as a better man.

Do the Harder Thing w/ Jordan Burke

<h3>Bishop Emeritus of Calgary Frederick Henry</h3>
Sean starts by pouring himself a dram of Kilbeggan Iris Whiskey out of fatherly pride as his daughter is evangelizing in Ireland with NET ministries in the Kilbeggan area of Ireland. &nbsp;His Excellency found the occasion special enough to pour himself a dram of Crown Royal Limited Edition, “it’s pretty smooth stuff.” According to Bishop Henry.
Bishop Baron said in his series “Catholicism” that Jesus went to Jerusalem to pick a fight. &nbsp;The Holy Spirit sent this Napoleon sized Bishop to Calgary to pick a fight with the forces of evil. &nbsp;Hear what his mother thought she might have done wrong with this Bishop as a child who in Calgary had no fear. His first words setting foot in Calgary were prophetic. &nbsp;See how he rallied the Knights of Columbus to do something over night which he gave them two years to accomplish.
Clearly the secret for raising this fine young man is his father. &nbsp;Listening to him speak, you’d swear he’s talking about St. Joseph himself. &nbsp;He gives our young four simple rules to abide by to lead us all to happiness and eternal life. &nbsp;This is a must see.

Faith is the beginning of our life with God, and it leads to true freedom. Despite their imprisonment in the POW camp, Father Kapaun encouraged his men to find the freedom and strength that faith offers us.

Faith

Get your Pints With Aquinas shirt <a href= "https://teespring.com/fradd" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">here!</a> Available for 7 days only. --- It behooved Christ to rise again, for five reasons: First of all; for the commendation of Divine Justice, to which it belongs to exalt them who humble themselves for God's sake, according to Luke 1:52: "He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble." Consequently, because Christ humbled Himself even to the death of the Cross, from love and obedience to God, it behooved Him to be uplifted by God to a glorious resurrection; hence it is said in His Person (Psalm 138:2): "Thou hast known," i.e. approved, "my sitting down," i.e. My humiliation and Passion, "and my rising up," i.e. My glorification in the resurrection; as the gloss expounds. Secondly, for our instruction in the faith, since our belief in Christ's Godhead is confirmed by His rising again, because, according to 2 Corinthians 13:4, "although He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God." And therefore it is written (1 Corinthians 15:14): "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and our [Vulgate: 'your'] faith is also vain": and (Psalm 29:10): "What profit is there in my blood?" that is, in the shedding of My blood, "while I go down," as by various degrees of evils, "into corruption?" As though He were to answer: "None. 'For if I do not at once rise again but My body be corrupted, I shall preach to no one, I shall gain no one,'" as the gloss expounds. Thirdly, for the raising of our hope, since through seeing Christ, who is our head, rise again, we hope that we likewise shall rise again. Hence it is written (1 Corinthians 15:12): "Now if Christ be preached that He rose from the dead, how do some among you say, that there is no resurrection of the dead?" And (Job 19:25-27): "I know," that is with certainty of faith, "that my Redeemer," i.e. Christ, "liveth," having risen from the dead; "and" therefore "in the last day I shall rise out of the earth . . . this my hope is laid up in my bosom." Fourthly, to set in order the lives of the faithful: according to Romans 6:4: "As Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life": and further on; "Christ rising from the dead dieth now no more; so do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive to God." Fifthly, in order to complete the work of our salvation: because, just as for this reason did He endure evil things in dying that He might deliver us from evil, so was He glorified in rising again in order to advance us towards good things; according to Romans 4:25: "He was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification."
