LOVE: What is it REALLY? | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Jacob Imam and I are not what is described as "trads" and neither of us attends the Latin Mass on a regular basis, but we LOVE the reverence and beauty of the Latin, or Tridentine, Mass.

A few of the 7 reasons are: <ol> <li>The primacy of the Eucharistic sacrifice</li> <li>The quality of the homilies</li> <li>The formality of the mass and attendees</li> <li>The beauty of the Latin language and music ...and 3 more!</li> </ol> <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.

Re-Evangelizing Ireland (Tony Foy) | Ep. 363

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

Season 2 Q&A with Father Martins

Kevin O'Brien shares his 5 principles of servant leadership. 
Kevin’s five principles are: do everything for the glory of God, you cannot give what you don’t have, have a sacrificial heart, pray as if everything depended on God, work as if everything depends on you, and transformation begins with truth. Watch to hear Kevin apply these principles through examples in his life as an executive and an evangelist. 


Servant Leadership

Most people are walking around feeling inferior to someone else. It might be because of social media, or criticism from others, or just constant negative self-talk. The truth is that we all have some negative voice either externally or internally that tells us we aren't good enough.
When we feel inferior to others, we often experience the urge to go find someone we can feel superior to in turn. And then comes the judging. We look down on other people and each other for the pettiest of reasons, just to make ourselves look and feel better. But we know we are called to higher living than this.
Today, we are challenging you to take a hard look at who/what makes you feel unworthy and who you might be looking down upon as a result of that. We want you to experience true humility, i.e. seeing yourself as God sees you. Come and join us in this pursuit of personal excellence as we examine what makes us so damn judgy all the time.

Why would anyone return to the Catholic faith?

What do typhoon evacuations, koala selfies, and second breakfast in Hobbiton have in common? They’ve all been part of Deacon Bob’s adventurous month. 
After a few weeks apart, Father Dave and Deacon Bob are back, swapping globe-trotting tales, ministry moments, and a surprisingly full slate of sports updates. Bob’s recent trip took him from the typhoon-swept Philippines to Singapore, Perth, Sydney, and a bucket-list stop in New Zealand’s Hobbiton (yes, complete with hobbit holes, the Green Dragon Inn, and second breakfast). 
Along the way, he preached to 90 youth leaders just hours after a typhoon hit, met a koala, saw kangaroos, and even met a listener named Rain who drove five hours just to hear him speak. There were plenty of memorable meals, from perfect pancakes to less-than-crispy bacon. 
Meanwhile, Father Dave stayed stateside, baptizing great-nieces (one walked to her own baptism), speaking at the Knights of Columbus Conference, and making a moving visit to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in Oklahoma City. He shares Rother’s remarkable story—from failing Latin in seminary, to obeying his bishop’s call to return to Guatemala, to his martyrdom in 1981—and the beauty of a shrine built right in the heart of the city it serves. 
Sports fans get plenty too: the debut of MLB’s first female umpire Jen Pawol (including her Hall of Fame–bound first pitch), Tom Brady’s towering new statue, and even a trivia challenge about the University of Michigan making draft history. 
Naturally, there are detours, including CGI vs. AI, bad sports statues, and ministry moments that transcended cultural boundaries. But through it all, the heart stays the same: joyfully sharing the Gospel, wherever God sends you (even if it’s to a sheep paddock in New Zealand). 
 
Highlighted Sections 
(00:00) Sports, Schedules, and Saying Goodbye 
The guys open with bittersweet news about the podcast winding down, why recording has gotten harder, and an invitation for listeners to share favorite memories. They then go into the week’s light sports slate and review the <a href='https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5950044/'>new Superman</a>. Even with the end in sight, their trademark banter is alive and well. 
 
(05:41) Football, Statues, and Sports Trivia 
Deacon Bob previews a Buccaneers-Steelers preseason game while Father Dave looks forward to Steelers training camp. They discuss <a href='https://www.boston.com/community/readers-say/2025/08/11/tom-brady-statue-reactions/'>Tom Brady’s towering statue</a> and celebrate <a href='https://www.mlb.com/video/jen-pawol-debuts-behind-the-plate'>Jen Pawol historic debut as MLB’s first female umpire</a>. The segment wraps with a trivia challenge about a university making draft history in all four major leagues. 
 
(15:44) From Typhoons to Hobbit Holes 
Bob recounts ministry in the Philippines, Perth, and New Zealand, including speaking to youth leaders <a href='https://apnews.com/article/typhoon-comay-philippines-9b0c191c63112a109b60b420b5917010'>after a typhoon</a> and connecting with alumni abroad. He describes <a href='https://www.hobbitontours.com/'>walking through the Shire set</a> from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, complete with hobbit holes and the Green Dragon Inn. Jenny may not be a huge fan of the films, but even she found the tour magical. 
 
(23:42) Sydney, Koalas, and the Ends of the Earth 
From welcoming bishops to preaching across cultures, Bob reflects on moments when the Holy Spirit’s anointing was tangible. He shares encounters with young adults, a koala, and a listener who drove five hours to hear him speak. Each stop reaffirmed the universal joy of sharing the Gospel. 
 
(25:42) Baptisms, Knights, and Blessed Stanley Rother 
Father Dave talks about baptizing his great-nieces and representing Franciscan University at the <a href='https://www.dckofc2025.com/'>Knights of Columbus Conference.</a> He shares the moving story of <a href='https://archokc.org/stanleyrother'>Blessed Stanley Rother</a> a missionary priest martyred in Guatemala, and describes visiting the shrine dedicated to him. The witness of Rother’s courage and devotion left a lasting impression. 
 
(32:37) Feast Days and a Chapel Blessing 
Looking ahead to the <a href='https://bustedhalo.com/ministry-resources/understanding-and-celebrating-the-feast-of-the-assumption'>Feast of the Assumption</a> they pray for peace amid global tensions. Father Dave previews the blessing of Franciscan University’s newly renovated Christ the King Chapel, while Bob outlines upcoming speaking engagements. The conversation closes with anticipation for the start of the school year.

Bob's Hobbit Adventure

Christian leaders have to do something difficult – we have to constantly balance asserting ourselves and using our talents and being humble before God.  Errors can happen in both ways either by not asserting ourselves or by losing sight of the service we render to Jesus.  St. Paul was not unaware of this challenge.  In First Timothy 5 and 6 he shows St. Timothy how to make this proper balance and exhorts him to lead while being friend to Christ.
