OPPOSITE DAY!? Fr. Pine Interviews Matt! | Ep. 476

In our lives as leaders, a lot of times we feel as though difficulty and trial are signs of failure. But in the life of our Lord, His greatest victory on the cross was accompanied by difficulties, trials, and seeming defeats.  Let’s find out what the Bible teaches us about the truth of leadership.

DGT Episode 16 - Leadership Through Trial - Mark 14

“In your anger do not sin” - Ephesians 4:26

This week John and Victor continue their Lenten Series on the seven deadly sins and how they impede us from being able to "return to God with our whole hearts" ( Joel 2:12). The sin of the week is Anger. Many of us struggle almost daily with anger. Sometimes our anger is just and sometimes it is unjust. So how do you know the difference and if your anger is actually a sin? If your anger is festering and is bad for you then how do you rid yourself of it? Listen into this week’s episode as John and Victor seek to find the answers to dealing with anger in a healthy way and discuss the methods in which we can utilize charity and forgiveness as a remedy for unjust anger. 

In this episode:
John and Vic cover the catechism and Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s definition of anger
If anger is really a sin
The two types of anger
The remedy for unjust anger

Lenten Series: Your Whole Heart Pt. 2 - Anger

Without innovation, none of us would lead the lives we do today. It took dreamers, weirdos, creative thinkers, and doers to get us to where we are as a civilization. But how do we know if and when innovation has gone too far? How can we know if innovation will lead to good or evil?Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of innovation in the 21st century and it is making headlines around the world for all sorts of reasons. Most of us have heard of ChatGPT but it is just one among many...

Should Christians Fear Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

The Shocking Truth About the Papacy w/ Steve Ray

In this episode of The Catholic Man Show, hosts Adam Minihan and David Niles welcome <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4kgAUTFkGIwlWSodg43QA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michael Knowles</a>, conservative commentator and host of The Michael Knowles Show, to discuss the critical role of language in shaping truth, culture, and faith. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and literature, Knowles explores how the corruption of language distorts our perception of reality, the dangers of slogans and propaganda, and the rebellious power of silence in a distracted world. From Dante’s view of fraud to the importance of interpreting the “signs of the times,” this episode is a thought-provoking call to reclaim language for truth and virtue.Key Discussion Points:<ul><li>Language as a Lens for Truth: Knowles explains that language is not a neutral tool but shapes how we perceive the world. Misusing it, such as through euphemisms like “undocumented American” instead of “illegal alien,” can obscure truth and manipulate thought.</li><li>Euphemisms and Lies: While polite euphemisms (e.g., “woman of a certain age”) can be charitable, dishonest ones cross into lying, undermining civil discourse and societal standards.</li><li>The Battle of Standards: The real fight isn’t between free speech and censorship but between competing norms. Knowles critiques free speech absolutism, advocating for standards that reject obscenity and fraud in the public square.</li><li>Philosophy and Language Degradation: Drawing on Josef Pieper, Knowles notes that denying objective truth turns language into a tool for manipulation, eroding reasoned debate and civil society.</li><li>The Power of Silence: In a world of constant noise, silence is a rebellious act that allows us to hear God’s voice and interpret the “signs of the times,” as Christ urges.</li><li>Dante and Fraud: Knowles connects Deacon Harrison Garlick’s idea of lying as “contraceptive speech” to Dante’s Inferno, where fraud, especially betrayal, is among the gravest sins, as it perverts language’s purpose of conveying truth.</li><li>Christian Task of Interpretation: Knowles emphasizes that Christians are called not to “do” but to interpret the world’s meaning, aligning actions with truth rather than reconstructing it.</li></ul> Resources:<ul><li>The Catholic Woodworker – Discover heirloom-quality rosaries, including the “Saint Michael the Defender” rosary gifted to Michael Knowles.</li><li>Check out The Michael Knowles Show on your favorite podcast platform or at dailywire.com.</li><li>Explore Josef Pieper’s works on language and truth, such as Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power.</li><li>Learn more about Dante’s Inferno for insights into the moral weight of fraud and betrayal.</li></ul>

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

Many of you, after seeing the photos, wanted to know when this powerful conversation was going to be released to the public. I'm so excited to share my conversation with Fr. Malachy from the National Eucharistic Congress in Indy. I was blessed to be one of the 10 podcasters invited to podcast live at the NEC and, as per usual, my conversation with Fr. Malachy was full of joy and tears!

Today, I have a heartwarming conversation with my dear friend, Fr Malachy, a devoted Franciscan Friar of Renewal.

From our first meeting at the JP2 Healing Center in Tallahassee, Florida, to walking barefoot in reverence during a Eucharistic pilgrimage, our journeys have been nothing short of transformative. In this episode, we dive deep into what it means to live a life filled with the spirit of power, inspired by St. Paul's teachings.

Fr Malachy shares his recent experience of carrying the Eucharist from New Jersey to Indianapolis, recounting the grace-filled moments and the profound connections made along the way. His stories are a testament to the power of faith and the radical change it brings to our lives.

We explore the importance of daily Mass, the Eucharist, and confession in achieving personal transformation. Our discussion is filled with personal stories, struggles, and triumphs, offering you practical insights and encouragement on your own faith journey.

In this episode, you will hear:

- The inspiring backstory of our friendship and spiritual journey
- The significance of the National Eucharistic Congress in revitalizing faith
- Powerful testimonies from the Eucharistic pilgrimage, including the profound act of walking barefoot in adoration
- How the spirit of power can lead to radical personal transformation
The importance of community, daily devotion, and surrendering to God's will

IN STUDIO DEBATE: Is Marriage Bad For Men? -  Pearl Davis Vs Trent Horn

Anyone who has had to manage any kind of organization – from a business to a family – know that patience is called for.  But how do we build it up?  How do we grow in our patience?  How do we know when impatience actually could be a good thing?  Pope St. Gregory The Great gives us wonderful insights in his tenth admonition in his third book “On The Rule Of Shepherds” written for pastors of the Church but applicable for business leaders and family leaders alike.

A Protestant Composer Explores Christian History and Becomes Catholic

Thanks to everyone of you who'd like to support me: PintsWithAquinas.com/donate Here's the text from Aquinas we read this week: From all this then is seen the effect of the passion of Christ as a remedy for sin. But no less does it profit us as an example. St. Augustine says that the passion of Christ can bring about a complete reformation of our lives. Whoever wishes to live perfectly need do nothing other than despise what Christ despised on the cross, and desire what Christ desired. There is no virtue that did not have its example on the Cross. So if you seek an example of charity, then, "greater love than this no one has, than to lay down his life for his friends" [Jn 15:13]. And this Christ did upon the Cross. If, therefore, He gave His life or us, we ought to endure any and all evils for Him: "What shall I render to the Lord for all the things that He has done for me?" [Ps 15:12]. If you seek an example of patience, you will find it in its highest degree upon the Cross. Great patience is exemplified in two ways: either when one suffers intensely in all patience, or when one suffers that which he could avoid if he so wished. Christ suffered greatly upon the Cross: "All you who pass by the way, look and see if there is any sorrow like My sorrow" [Lam 1:12]. And with all patience, because, "when He suffered, He did not threaten" [1 Pet 2:23]. And again: "He shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter and shall be dumb before His shearer, and shall not open His mouth" [Is 53:7]. He could have avoided this suffering, but He did not: "Do you think that I cannot ask My Father, and He will give Me presently more than twelve legions of Angels?" [Mt 26:23]. The patience of Christ upon the cross, therefore, was of the highest degree: "Let us run by patience to the fight proposed to us; looking on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith, who, having joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame" [Heb 12:1-2]. If you seek an example of humility, look upon Him who is crucified; although He was God, He chose to be judged by Pontius Pilate and to be put to death: "Your cause has been judged as that of the wicked" [Job 36:17]. Truly "that of the wicked," because: "Let us condemn Him to a most shameful death" [Wis 2:20]. The Lord chose to die for His servant; the Life of the Angels suffered death for man: "He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross" [Phil 2:8]. If you seek an example of obedience, imitate Him who was obedient to the Father unto death: "For by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners; so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just" [Rom 5:19]. If you seek an example of contempt for earthly things, imitate Him who is the King of kings, the Lord of rulers, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom; but on the Cross He was stripped naked, ridiculed, spat upon, bruised, crowned with thorns, given to drink of vinegar and gall, and finally put to death. How falsely, therefore, is one attached to riches and raiment, for: "They divided My garments amongst them; and upon My robe they cast lots" [Ps 21:19]. How falsely to honors, since "I was covered with lashes and insults;" how falsely to positions of power, because "taking a crown of thorns, they placed it upon My brow;" how falsely to delicacies of the table, for "in My thirst they gave Me to drink of vinegar" [Ps 68:22]. Thus, St. Augustine, in commenting on these words, "Who, having joy set before Him, endured the Cross despising the shame" [Heb 12:2]. says: "The man Christ despised all earthly things in order to teach us to despise them.

On Becoming Fathers

The work of St. Thomas Aquinas remains at the center of Catholic tradition.  In his many writings Thomas treats of leadership in many different ways.  But nowhere is his treatment as concise or condensed as in his letter to the King of Cyprus in his book De Regno.  I’d like to continue lessons that I’ve given on this book about leadership.  This is lesson number two on Leaders of the Common Good.

Faith In Focus

There are a plethora of books and articles written about leadership today.  But most of them focus on leadership as if it were an individual enterprise – almost like something the leader does in a vacuum.  In fact, however, leadership requires leading others which means our relationship with others and ability to get them to join our cause is at the heart of what we’re doing.  Does our faith in Christ give us an advantage here?  How does a Christian leader form a team and motivate them to give the very best of themselves.

DGT Episode 212 - Passing On The Spirit - AUDEO Part 10

Sometimes we get discouraged when our imperfect efforts fail our expectations, when in reality it is only God who can provide exactly what we need. 

Join us in the pew this week as John reflects on this truth through a story about his yard in the Memphis heat, and how one sudden downpour after weeks of drought became a powerful lesson in the way God intervenes with grace.

Drawing from Psalm 63, he shows how relying on ourselves is futile, and how opening to God restores our souls—just as rain revived John's grass. You don’t have to hold it all together. God’s grace is real—ask Him to let it rain.

Let It Rain

In this week's episode, John and Victor take a look at the journey and life of Peter in the 40 Days after the Resurrection.  As they reflect on the Scripture readings from the first Friday of the Easter season, John and Victor draw parallels between the biblical stories of Peter's denial and his subsequent redemption, exploring themes of vulnerability, forgiveness, and the endless capacity for personal growth and healing in the light of Christ's mercy. This episode is a raw look at the moments of despair that can lead to profound transformations through faith and community support.

This week's episode is not only a narrative of personal struggle but also a testament to the power of surrendering to God's will, the importance of community, and the ever-present hope that faith in Jesus brings. It's a reminder that no matter how far we may stray, redemption is always within reach, inviting us to cast our nets once more into the waters of faith, hope, and love.

Whether you're struggling with personal demons, searching for meaning in the midst of chaos, or simply seeking a deeper connection with your faith, this episode offers a message of hope, resilience, and the transformative power of God's love.

How a Shakespearean ACTOR Reverted to the Catholic Church | Christian Testimony

The BeatiDudes is a religiously funny talk show that takes a holy and humorous approach to being a Christian man in the modern world. This Catholic show combines prayer, wit, wisdom, and everything in between.Season One wraps up as the BeatiDudes honor their wives and each other with a rollercoaster of Catholic comedy and prayer. Watch Paul Kolker crush it in a special game of Blessed are the Joke Makers in which he takes on many personas to address the prompt, “Mea culpa, Father, I couldn’t make it to mass because _____” while Nick and Jeff guess as many as possible. Then the pinnacle moment of Season One occurs when the BeatiDudes dedicate the show and all of its work to the protection and intercession of St. Maximilian Kolbe.

Summary
 
In this conversation, Nathan Crankfield explores the complexities of personal control, judgment, and the false dichotomy of Catholic approaches to worship and excellence. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding lukewarmness in faith, the need for reverence in worship, and the impact of small actions on spiritual growth. Nathan addresses the challenges of being labeled a Pharisee for caring about church practices and traditions, while advocating for a balance between personal sanctification and communal responsibility. The discussion highlights the significance of discipline in faith and the necessity of maintaining a reverent attitude towards worship and the Eucharist.

How To Know If You're A Judgmental Hypocrite

For real… Do we believe in the power of the Holy Spirit the way the apostles did in Acts? Do we let our doubt prevent powerful acts of faith? Do we believe Jesus, who rose from the dead, can heal the broken? 

In this episode John shares about: 
- His experience of Healing at the “I Am Prayer Training” retreat
- The necessity of TOTAL belief to be a Christian 
- The power of the Holy Spirit that has been given to us! 
- Stirring our hearts like chocolate milk

"Envy is the assassination of brotherly love." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen 

A blessed Lent to you all! This week kicks off a new Lenten Series on the 7 deadly sins from John and Victor. In this week's episode we begin our Lenten journey as John and Victor discuss envy, one of the seven deadly sins that goes unnoticed but can undermine our spiritual health. The guys share their own personal battles with envy, revealing how it has manifested in their lives and the struggles they've faced in overcoming it. They remind us that we are not alone in our imperfections and that envy is something we all struggle  with in our lives The two also discuss the transformative power of genuine sacrifice and how true spiritual growth often requires us to give up not just the superficial things but also those deeper attachments, sins, and wounds that keep us from fully embracing God's will. They explore the concept of internal cleansing, drawing a compelling parallel between decluttering our physical spaces and tidying up our inner lives.  Grab a seat in the pew and listen in to find out how to offer up your struggles with envy and how to combat it by living a life of gratitude. 

In this episode you will hear:
-The difference between giving up and offering up 
-What the catechism says about true sacrifice
-The deadly sin of envy and how we all struggle with it 
-How to combat the sin of envy and offer up those struggles to God this Lent 
-How to clean out your heart and allow God in as your offering this Lent

Why Celebrate Mass AD ORIENTEM? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Anyone moved by the love of God wants to Dare Great Things For Christ!  But ironically most of our time is spent by doing little things.  When we look at the life of the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, we see that much of her life was spent doing little things.  Does this mean she wasn’t a leader?  Or in fact is leadership not best expressed by the way that we do the small things?  The life of Jesus and Mary in Nazareth before the beginning of his missionary life is an example of leadership in the little things.

DGT Episode 234 - Leadership And The Little Things - Mary Queen Of Leaders Part 6

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 FatherToday we witness how Jesus sets the example for humble service by washing the feet of the Apostles.We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to  grow in the Virtue of Observance so he can honor and respect the priesthood and priests We’ll also consider the importance for every Catholic man to build the Virtue of Humility so he can battle against pride and better imitate Christ.

We start Lent with strong intentions. The fasting plan is clear. The prayer routine feels doable. The discipline is there. But somewhere in the middle of Lent, the struggle begins. The motivation fades, the routine breaks down, and we quietly give up.

In this episode of Into the Desert, Fr. Ken Geraci and John Heinen explain why this exact moment is where real spiritual growth begins. The desert exposes the limits of self-reliance and reveals how much a man still depends on his own strength instead of God’s grace. Instead of seeing failure as the end of Lent, this conversation reframes the struggle as the place where humility, surrender, and deeper conversion begin.

The Privilege Of Fatherhood

What kind of man are you when no one is watching?
Do you fall to the temptations of sloth, gluttony, or lust? As Christians, we are called to be more like Christ—but sometimes we forget what that actually looks like.

A sure way to evaluate whether we are being Christlike is to ask: Am I the same man when I’m alone as I am at church, with my family, or at my men’s group?

Join us as we prepare for Holy Week, and challenge yourself to become consistent, just as Jesus was consistent. Follow His example: set your face like flint, feel the weight of the wood on your shoulder, and heave up your cross.

Why a Raised Hindu Became a Devout Catholic Christian

Fr. Dave and Dcn. Bob talk about cheating at chess, the feast of St. Francis, and being “imitators” of other disciples and saints.

Philippians 3:12-21

As Lent begins, Deacon Bob and Father Dave turn to the Gospel of Luke and the image of Jesus being led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit. From fasting and temptation to spiritual dryness and surrender, the hosts reflect on how the desert becomes a sacred space of encounter and transformation. 
This week’s episode moves from the spiritual to the political, as Father Dave shares his experience at the Catholic Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and the launch of Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program. Then, shifting gears, the episode dives into the controversial press conference between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, with reflections on humility, diplomacy, justice, and how Catholics can engage a divided political world without losing heart. 
Sprinkled in—as always—are the laughs: a breakdown of the NFL’s “tush push,” Cavaliers comebacks, the rise of phone booth boxing, and a surprising story about wrestling in a former church. 
As Lent invites us deeper into prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, this episode ends with a moving reflection on the Gospel and a reminder that even in our own deserts, the Spirit leads and God is present. 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Fasting, Cheeseburgers, and the Age of Exemption  
Father Dave reflects humorously on turning 60 and technically being <a href='https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-year-and-calendar/lent/catholic-information-on-lenten-fast-and-abstinence'>exempt from fasting</a>—though he still chooses to fast as a spiritual discipline. Deacon Bob playfully insists that doing what you don’t have to do is what makes it truly holy. 
(01:57) NFL Tush Push, Cavaliers Comebacks, and Sports Surprises  
The hosts dive into the NFL's controversial "<a href='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/what-is-the-tush-push-how-eagles-execute-the-play-why-they-run-it-so-well-and-how-other-teams-fare/'>tush push</a>" play and debate whether it should be banned. They also celebrate the <a href='https://www.nba.com/cavaliers/'>Cleveland Cavaliers’</a> incredible comeback wins and share thoughts on how grit and teamwork shape great sports moments. 
(04:44) Phone Booth Boxing and Wrestling in Church?  
From <a href='https://sidekickboxing.co.uk/what-is-phone-booth-boxing/'>Romania’s newest combat sport</a> to a church-turned-MMA arena, the episode takes an absurd but entertaining detour. The discussion sparks deeper questions about sacred spaces and cultural trends that blur the lines between worship and spectacle. 
(06:10) Evangelization on the Road: Faith-Filled Uber Rides  
Bob and Father Dave share stories of surprising spiritual conversations with Uber drivers that opened doors to talk about faith, suffering, and the Trinity. These everyday moments reveal how simple encounters can become <a href='https://www.usccb.org/committees/evangelization-catechesis/evangelization'>grace-filled opportunities for evangelization</a>. 
(08:10) Franciscan in D.C.: Homeland Mission and Catholic Prayer Breakfast  
Father Dave describes the launch of <a href='https://franciscan.edu/homeland-mission/'>Franciscan’s Homeland Mission Program</a>, aimed at giving students faith-integrated experiences in public service. He also recounts the beauty and depth of the <a href='https://catholicprayerbreakfast.com/'>Catholic Prayer Breakfast</a>, including his encounter with JD Vance and a moving moment of public prayer. 
(11:29) Zelensky, Trump, and a Press Conference That Shook D.C.  
In one of the most talked-about political moments of the week, the hosts break down the <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajxSWocbye8'>tense exchange between Zelensky, Trump, and JD Vance</a>. The conversation opens up complex questions about justice, diplomacy, war, and how Catholics can engage with humility and integrity. 
(28:42) Into the Desert: Jesus’ Temptation and Our Lenten Journey  
Drawing from <a href='https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/4'>Luke 4</a>, the hosts reflect on Jesus’ hunger, vulnerability, and spiritual strength in the desert. They invite listeners to embrace Lent not as a burden, but as an opportunity to be led by the Spirit into a place of deeper encounter with God.

Men and Authentic Leadership - Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

Strength, discipline, and self-reliance are often praised as the highest virtues of manhood. But what happens when those very traits become obstacles to trust, intimacy, and faith?

In this episode, John sits down with former Navy SEAL officer Sam Blair for an honest conversation about identity, surrender, and the spiritual battle beneath high performance.

If you’ve been trying to carry everything on your own, this conversation is a reminder that real strength begins when we stop relying on ourselves and learn to trust the Father who wants all of us, not just our achievements.

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 reveals the need for every man to realize his deep spiritual poverty and condemn prideful self-righteousness in the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.  We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to recognize his own sinfulness and deep spiritual poverty and to vigorously build the Virtue of Prayer to seek Christ’s help. We’ll also consider the deep sin of bearing false witness and the need for every Catholic man to keep the 8th Commandment and build the Virtue of Kindness.

A Dram with Bishop McGrattan

Jesus rebukes the Apostles for their honor-seeking and envy and commands them to consider themselves to be slaves. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by seeking the Fruits of Peace and Joy from the Holy Spirit so he can live in the peace and joy of Jesus and by building the Virtue of Kindness so he can reject envy and strive to be kind to others.

Without a doubt one of the hardest parts of being a leader is that we have to embrace solitude.  In this series we are looking at the various dimensions or kinds of solitude that leaders embrace and how Jesus meets each one of us along the way.  In this fourth part of our series we focus in on the solitude of risks.  On the fact that when we decide to act we inevitably have to act alone.  Or do we?  Perhaps it’s in our greatest solitude that we find union with Christ.

One of the biggest challenges a leader has is the fact that everyone of us is responsible for the decisions that the people under us will make.  How can I help the people that I lead make good decisions?  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica writes a great deal about making choices.  By following his teaching we can have an insight that will help us to make good decisions.

DGT Episode 133 - Aquinas On Leadership - Helping Your People Make A Decision

Free on Wednesday, Dec 11 at 8:30pm ET | An incredible, 1-hour online event with Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers, the Dynamic Deacon

Men today are under siege. Our faith is mocked. Our masculinity is sidelined. Brotherhood fails around us. It’s a crisis like we’ve never seen before. How do we turn it around?

500 years before Christ, King Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest warrior-king of the Babylonian empire rounded up and targeted the best Hebrew young men. He brainwashed their religion out of them, stripped them of their Hebrew identity, and demanded that they abandon their God - or face death.

Today, Big Tech and broken education are brainwashing our children. Our youth have been robbed of their Christian identity. We are being challenged to abandon God. In those days of Hebrew persecution, Daniel and three men of heroic virtue refused to back down. They set an example of unfailing heroism in the middle of a brutal culture siege.

What kind of men are we today? Do we know how to step up and take a stand for our faith, our families, and our future?

Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers challenges men to join him live for a half hour of powerful storytelling, practical wisdom, and a roadmap to build the habits of a Heroic Man.

"Knowing that other men share my experience in this siege against my faith, my family, and my brothers, is crucial. I can connect with other men. I'm not alone. This is why Heroic Men matters! Brotherhood makes you stronger!" - Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers

How to be a Heroic Man with @Deacon Harold

Hey all, For the next 2 weeks we're doing a promotion. If you become a $10 or more patron of Pints With Aquinas here, I'll send you all that other free stuff AND I'll send you a limited edition Thomas Aquinas magnet for your car ... AND I'll send you a super awkward private video message. --- Today I interview Dr. Brant Pitre. Here's a bit about him: <a href="https://www.brantpitre.com/">Dr. Brant Pitre</a> is Distinguished Research Professor of Scripture at the Augustine Institute in Denver, CO. He earned his Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Notre Dame, where he specialized in the study of the New Testament and ancient Judaism. He is the author of several articles and books, including: Jesus, the Tribulation, and the End of the Exile (Baker Academic, 2005), Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist (Image Books, 2011), Jesus the Bridegroom (Image Books, 2014), Jesus and the Last Supper (Eerdmans, 2015), and The Case for Jesus (Image, 2016). Dr. Pitre is an extremely enthusiastic and engaging speaker who lectures regularly across the United States. He has produced dozens of Bible studies on CD, DVD, and MP3, in which he explores the biblical foundations of Catholic faith and theology. He currently lives in Gray, Louisiana, with his wife Elizabeth, and their five children. --- Here's the entire article I read from today from Aquinas: Article 4. Whether Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing? Objection 1. It would seem that Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing. For the purpose of writing is to hand down doctrine to posterity. Now Christ's doctrine was destined to endure for ever, according to Luke 21:33: "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away." Therefore it seems that Christ should have committed His doctrine to writing. Objection 2. Further, the Old Law was a foreshadowing of Christ, according to Hebrews 10:1: "The Law has [Vulgate: 'having'] a shadow of the good things to come." Now the Old Law was put into writing by God, according to Exodus 24:12: "I will give thee" two "tables of stone and the law, and the commandments which I have written." Therefore it seems that Christ also should have put His doctrine into writing. Objection 3. Further, to Christ, who came to enlighten them that sit in darkness (Luke 1:79), it belonged to remove occasions of error, and to open out the road to faith. Now He would have done this by putting His teaching into writing: for Augustine says (De Consensu Evang. i) that "some there are who wonder why our Lord wrote nothing, so that we have to believe what others have written about Him. Especially do those pagans ask this question who dare not blame or blaspheme Christ, and who ascribe to Him most excellent, but merely human, wisdom. These say that the disciples made out the Master to be more than He really was when they said that He was the Son of God and the Word of God, by whom all things were made." And farther on he adds: "It seems as though they were prepared to believe whatever He might have written of Himself, but not what others at their discretion published about Him." Therefore it seems that Christ should have Himself committed His doctrine to writing. On the contrary, No books written by Him were to be found in the canon of Scripture. I answer that, It was fitting that Christ should not commit His doctrine to writing. First, on account of His dignity: for the more excellent the teacher, the more excellent should be his manner of teaching. Consequently it was fitting that Christ, as the most excellent of teachers, should adopt that manner of teaching whereby His doctrine is imprinted on the hearts of His hearers; wherefore it is written (Matthew 7:29) that "He was teaching them as one having power." And so it was that among the Gentiles, Pythagoras and Socrates, who were teachers of great excellence, were unwilling to write anything. For writings are ordained, as to an end, unto the imprinting of doctrine in the hearts of the hearers. Secondly, on account of the excellence of Christ's doctrine, which cannot be expressed in writing; according to John 21:25: "There are also many other things which Jesus did: which, if they were written everyone, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written." Which Augustine explains by saying: "We are not to believe that in respect of space the world could not contain them . . . but that by the capacity of the readers they could not be comprehended." And if Christ had committed His doctrine to writing, men would have had no deeper thought of His doctrine than that which appears on the surface of the writing. Thirdly, that His doctrine might reach all in an orderly manner: Himself teaching His disciples immediately, and they subsequently teaching others, by preaching and writing: whereas if He Himself had written, His doctrine would have reached all immediately. Hence it is said of Wisdom (Proverbs 9:3) that "she hath sent her maids to invite to the tower." It is to be observed, however, that, as Augustine says (De Consensu Evang. i), some of the Gentiles thought that Christ wrote certain books treating of the magic art whereby He worked miracles: which art is condemned by the Christian learning. "And yet they who claim to have read those books of Christ do none of those things which they marvel at His doing according to those same books. Moreover, it is by a Divine judgment that they err so far as to assert that these books were, as it were, entitled as letters to Peter and Paul, for that they found them in several places depicted in company with Christ. No wonder that the inventors were deceived by the painters: for as long as Christ lived in the mortal flesh with His disciples, Paul was no disciple of His." Reply to Objection 1. As Augustine says in the same book: "Christ is the head of all His disciples who are members of His body. Consequently, when they put into writing what He showed forth and said to them, by no means must we say that He wrote nothing: since His members put forth that which they knew under His dictation. For at His command they, being His hands, as it were, wrote whatever He wished us to read concerning His deeds and words." Reply to Objection 2. Since the old Law was given under the form of sensible signs, therefore also was it fittingly written with sensible signs. But Christ's doctrine, which is "the law of the spirit of life" (Romans 8:2), had to be "written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in the fleshly tables of the heart," as the Apostle says (2 Corinthians 3:3). Reply to Objection 3. Those who were unwilling to believe what the apostles wrote of Christ would have refused to believe the writings of Christ, whom they deemed to work miracles by the magic art.

132: Did Jesus really claim to be God? With Brant Pitre

Is your life full of noise, stress, and spiritual disconnection? You’re not alone.

Join us in the pew this week as John and Victor dive into the chaos that often fills our lives, and the despair that can follow. They unpack how addiction, stress, and misplaced priorities lead us away from peace and into deeper confusion.

But there’s hope. Through honest reflection, spiritual discipline, and authentic community, we can begin to reclaim order in our lives. Listen as John and Victor speak plainly about their own past, and the practical ways they were able to move from chaos to clarity, and from despair to hope.

A Dram With Jimmy Akin

After an incredibly successful career in the franchising industry, Robert Tunmire is now using his experience and expertise to deliver ministry to men worldwide. Robert shares the details of his journey, starting with his withdrawal from high school to run his first company and the subsequent business successes for decades. At 40, God shook Robert awake and brought him to a new understanding and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Through a string of encounters, Robert made a monumental shift in his life. He began working on launching and growing ministry to men, including Man in the Mirror, the Catholic Men’s Leadership Alliance, the Heroic Men platform, and the Central Texas Fellowship of Catholic Men. 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.
