Calvin Robinson's PERFECT Speech on "Gay Marriage"

Most in contemporary secular culture have probably never heard of the name “Thomas Aquinas.” However, his thought remains more pertinent than ever—not only to theology and philosophy but also to current conversations on how to build a more stable, just, and prosperous political order. Today, we discuss the evergreen genius of St. Thomas Aquinas and how his legacy continues in the life and work of the contemporary Dominican theologian, Fr. Paul Murray.    A listener asks, does the devil know that his rebellion is ultimately futile? 00:00 | Intro  01:12 | Bishop Barron in Rome  02:01 | Aquinas’ impact on Bishop Barron’s formation  03:56 | Why medieval thinkers like Aquinas still matter  06:18 | The relationship between metaphysics and ethics  07:29 | God as Being itself rather than as the greatest of beings  12:43 | How God can be both transcendent and immanent  15:58 | God’s non-competitive relationship with Creation  21:29 | Defining true human and social goods  23:00 | Does metaphysical speculation have a role in politics?  25:45 | Fr. Paul Murray, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Dominican charism  29:54 | Listener question  31:49 | Word on Fire Institute Show Notes: <ul> <li>Learn about the 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 435: The Enduring Relevance of St. Thomas Aquinas

Levels 1 and 2 aren't bad; they simply aren't enough. Though it may seem easy to get stuck in the pursuit of pleasure or status, we all have deeper needs that call us to higher levels of happiness. It can be difficult to overcome habits that focus on the lower levels, but the effort brings us closer to our true self and gives us a liberating and renewed sense of our real purpose.
Once we move outside ourselves (past Level 2) to a concern for others (Level 3), we are faced with the wider world in which we discover a loving Creator calling us to our transcendent destiny (Level 4) and a shared eternal relationship with him.

The Faith to Reach Transcendence

Gnosticism was one of the earliest heresies of the Church, and it remains among the most enduring. With an emphasis on special knowledge acquired only by a small group of enlightened elites, as well as a sharp division between spirit and matter, with spiritual things being good and material things being evil, Gnosticism still thrives today everywhere from crack conspiracy theories to Hollywood movies to our culture of self-invention. Bishop Barron discusses Gnosticism and why it ultimately fails to satisfy. A listener asks Bishop to help her understand the resurrection of the body.

WOF 222: Gnosticism, the Enduring Heresy

It is written (Ezekiel 36:25): "I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness." I answer that, As the Apostle says (Romans 6:3), "all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in His death." And further on he concludes (Romans 6:11): "So do you also reckon that you are dead to sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus our Lord." Hence it is clear that by Baptism man dies unto the oldness of sin, and begins to live unto the newness of grace. But every sin belongs to the primitive oldness. Consequently every sin is taken away by Baptism.  --- the Passion of Christ is communicated to every baptized person, so that he is healed just as if he himself had suffered and died. Now Christ's Passion . . .  is a sufficient satisfaction for all the sins of all men. Consequently he who is baptized, is freed from the debt of all punishment due to him for his sins, just as if he himself had offered sufficient satisfaction for all his sins. ---  As Augustine says in the book on Infant Baptism (De Pecc. Merit. et Remiss. i) "the effect of Baptism is that the baptized are incorporated in Christ as His members." Now the fulness of grace and virtues flows from Christ theHead to all His members, according to John 1:16: "Of His fulness we all have received." Hence it is clear that man receives grace and virtues in Baptism.    ST III, Q. 69, A. 1; 2; 4.   --- 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.

Today we're joined around the bar table by Father Thomas Joseph White to discuss predestination. Learn more about the Hillbilly Thomists here: <a href= "https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/">https://www.dominicanajournal.org/music/the-hillbilly-thomists/</a> Here's a couple of excerpts from Thomas on predestination from the Prima pars: Here’s some of what Aquinas had to say on predestination: It is fitting that God should predestine men. For all things are subject to His providence, as was shown above (I:22:2). Now it belongs to providence to direct things towards their end, as was also said (I:22:1 and I:22:2). The end towards which created things are directed by God is twofold; one which exceeds all proportion and faculty of created nature; and this end is life eternal, that consists in seeing God which is above the nature of every creature, as shown above (I:12:4). The other end, however, is proportionate to created nature, to which end created being can attain according to the power of its nature. Now if a thing cannot attain to something by the power of its nature, it must be directed thereto by another; thus, an arrow is directed by the archer towards a mark. Hence, properly speaking, a rational creature, capable of eternal life, is led towards it, directed, as it were, by God. The reason of that direction pre-exists in God; as in Him is the type of the order of all things towards an end, which we proved above to be providence. Now the type in the mind of the doer of something to be done, is a kind of pre-existence in him of the thing to be done. Hence the type of the aforesaid direction of a rational creature towards the end of life eternal is called predestination. For to destine, is to direct or send. Thus it is clear that predestination, as regards its objects, is a part of providence. --- God does reprobate some. For it was said above (Article 1) that predestination is a part of providence. To providence, however, it belongs to permit certain defects in those things which are subject to providence, as was said above (I:22:2). Thus, as men are ordained to eternal life through the providence of God, it likewise is part of that providence to permit some to fall away from that end; this is called reprobation. Thus, as predestination is a part of providence, in regard to those ordained to eternal salvation, so reprobation is a part of providence in regard to those who turn aside from that end. Hence reprobation implies not only foreknowledge, but also something more, as does providence, as was said above (I:22:1). Therefore, as predestination includes the will to confer grace and glory; so also reprobation includes the will to permit a person to fall into sin, and to impose the punishment of damnation on account of that sin.

This week we celebrate Holy Week. As we get closer to the end of this season of Lent, where are you spiritually? Have you been able to embrace the Lenten practices of fasting, praying and almsgiving? Have you been struggling to make time for prayer? Have you been going through the motions with little intentionality?

Now that we have arrived at the final week of Lent, it is time for us to really fixate our minds and hearts on the Paschal Mystery-the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In this episode Jon Leonetti challenges all of us to make the most of this Holy Week.

It's a harsh truth: 31% of men at Sunday Mass lack a single close friend. Loneliness isn't just isolating; it's a health disaster, more lethal than alcoholism or smoking. Heroic Men is a movement on a mission to change this. We work to reconnect men with Christ, inspire authentic brotherhood, and bond around relentless spiritual growth. https://heroicmen.org&nbsp;This isn't just about friendships—it's about forging a community where men challenge, sharpen, and hold each other accountable. It's about becoming the best version of themselves and reshaping culture. This is a rallying cry for Catholic men to step up, embrace brotherhood, and transform lives, family, and culture together.

Heroic Men and the Crushing Epidemic of Loneliness among Men

EP55 Q&A with Fr. Larry Richards - The Reason For Our Hope Foundation

Today we’re talking about deceit. Being deceitful is what I call a gateway sin. We may label falsehoods as white lies, fibs — not a big deal. But the more we practice deceit with our family, friends, and co-workers, the darker a habit it becomes. One lie leads to another and another.

On this podcast, we learn that:

- Each day we have a choice of living in virtue or in vice
- If you feel your habit of deceit is growing out of control, you should consult with a spiritual director
- Hard things are worth doing and that includes speaking the truth.

Talking Discipline with 6-time World and Olympic Champion, John Smith – Episode 147

When most people speak about leadership today, they mean it in the context of business.  And there are ample examples of great leadership in the world of business, and ample examples of Catholics who have typified that same leadership in the world of business.  But I’d like to focus us today on the reflection of a great Saint who was not a business leader but in fact the Pope, Pope St. John Paul II, and see how his life teaches us about Catholic leadership.

DGT Episode 87 Courageous Leadership Part 8 - Pope St. John Paul II

Fr. Fergal O’Duill is an Irish-born priest with a deep love for Jesus. Throughout his discernment journey, Fr. Fergal was continuously shown that God’s plan was always better than his own. Fr. Fergal starts us off episode two with a reflection on his childhood as the youngest of 8 kids growing up in Ireland. Fr. Fergal was raised by a fervent Catholic father who modeled a love for the Lord and a deep friendship with Jesus. During college, he came to realize that God loved him and had a plan for his life, setting him on a journey of evangelization that led to the priesthood. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a die-hard conservative to address the prompt, “The newest Catholic podcast talks entirely about ___________.”For the TBD Question of the day, each Dude is asked to reflect on a gift they have each been given by the Holy Spirit. The show concludes with a traditional Irish blessing to send you on your way.

200: How to Love and Study the Bible w/ Dr. Andrew Swafford

On today’s podcast, we’re talking about the benefits of joining a Catholic men’s group in your parish or diocese. Most guys tell me they want to be better men, husbands, and fathers and I’ve learned that we can’t do it alone. We need community. Participation in men’s groups help us beat feelings of isolation and loneliness. They’re places where we can share our struggles as husbands and fathers, support others during setbacks and celebrate spiritual growth.

On this podcast, we learn that:
 - Isolation often breeds self-oriented behaviors, such as addiction to drugs, alcohol, or porn.
 - The right men’s group provides a place to be seen, loved, and heard.
 - A strong brotherhood fosters accountability and encouragement.

WOF 470: Bishop Barron on the Theology of Balthasar (5 of 12)

New Year New Changes Right?

That is the hope of most people at the start of a New Year. Often times we find ourselves giving up hope before we begin. We all know the obstacles and impediments that fill our hearts and keep us from becoming the men that Christ calls us to be. So why do we so often fail? The lack of action. True transformation calls for a plan. It can’t just be about desire. When desires meet action true transformation becomes a reality. 

Listen in this week as John and Victor start a series on True Transformation and focus on one of the gifts of the Church that can help: Fasting. If we are going to be rid of the things that keep us from Christ we must be willing to make an act of the will to choose the better part. Grab a seat as the guys discuss fasting as one of the most powerful ways to find lasting transformation in your life.

WOF 327: Three Equations for Happier Catholics

Father Kenneth LeBlanc shares his journey to priesthood and the importance of faith, community, and accompaniment. He emphasizes the need for intentional formation and discipleship, and the role of nature in evangelization. Father LeBlanc also highlights the significance of authentic friendship and brotherhood among priests. He encourages young men to be open to God&#39;s call and to take steps towards discernment. He shares a powerful story of how the Holy Spirit worked through him in a moment of grief and brought peace to a family.

A Dram With Fr Kenneth LeBlanc

There are many philosophies about leadership.  Some hold that the leader needs to keep themselves at a distance from the people that they lead – that the leader always needs to stay aloof and one step above. Others hold that leadership needs to be an exercise from within a community – almost like a shared charge that’s passed around.  What’s the truth?  How do we reconcile the need to lead forward and at the same time belong to the people that we serve?

DGT Episode 45 - Belonging To The Community You Serve - St. Peter Part 8

The persuasive power of any falsehood lies in its proximity with the truth.  Machiavelli’s, “The Prince”, contains many truths and many statements which ring true to our practical ears.  Chapter 22 concerning the secretaries of princes is a great example of this.  In this chapter we read many things that help us understand our role as servants against the backdrop of Machiavellian reasoning.

DGT Episode 120 - Machiavelli, The Making Of A Great Servant - The Anti-Leaders Part 4

Jesus reveals the astounding Divine Mercy of the Almighty Father to those who repent from their sins in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Every Catholic man can grow in happiness by being filled with the Virtue of Hope so he can always trust in Christ&apos;s Divine Mercy and by growing in the Virtue of Vindication so he can have a healthy guilt for his sins and make reparations.

Alex Trevino is a strong Catholic husband, father, and businessman. In his college days at the University of Dallas, Alex discovered his passion for acting and film production. This episode begins with Alex recalling the story of meeting his wife while both acting in A Midsummer Night’s Dream together in college. Then we learn more about Alex’s career and his experience playing behind-the-scenes roles in movies like Little Boy. These experiences inspired Alex to launch a full-fledged video production and branding agency called Project Thirty-Six. On Blessed are the Joke Makers, the Dudes must take on the persona of a cartoon character to address the statement, “My old Catholic grandma is known for ______________.” After the break, we dive deeper into Alex’s business and gain a better understanding of his ideal client and project types. For TBD-Squared (The BeatiDudes Deck of Questions), the Dudes must share a personal quirk or two about themselves. And finally, Reverse Simpsons offers a popcorn round of quick-hit, one-word(ish) answers to questions about life. <h2>Follow Alex:</h2><a href="www.projectthirtysix.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Project Thirty-Six</a>Instagram - @alextrevino1989<h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://decidedexcellence.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Decided Excellence</a><a href="https://spokestreet.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spoke Street Media</a><a href="https://catholiccardgame.com/?sca_ref=4057467.xx2t04Acid" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Catholic Card Game</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a>

Why Suffering is MERCY | Mthr. Natalia

"God is Love" - 1 John 4:8This simple statement is the beginning and the ending of our pilgrimage of Faith. God is Love and the Lord's Love is perfect, passionate, and unconditional. There is nothing that we can do that would cause God to love us more and nothing we can do that would cause him to love us less. We are able to come to experience the beauty and freedom of God's Love by the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God reveals the Love of the Father that changes us. When we experience God's Love we come to understand in a powerful way that we are in fact "lovable." God's Love reveals our beauty and goodness before him.<a href="https://wildgoose.tv/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Wild Goose Website</a> | <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hOAVbPbyXfzLijwZdhtcqa9_9bHFiff1/view?usp=drive_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Study Guide&nbsp;</a>

God's Love Poured Out | Episode 1

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 Son of the Almighty Father, speak directly to fathers and reveal that the Almighty Father’s love of His children is greater than even an earthly father’s love of his son. We’ll reflect upon need for every Catholic man to strive to build the virtue of orderliness so he can build the skills and discipline to have an active daily prayer life. We’ll also consider the importance of for every Catholic man to grow in the Virtue of Perseverance so he can always persist in prayer when it seems that God is not answering his prayers.

Episode 25 - Jesus confirms the Almighty Father answers those who persist in prayer - Lenten Daily Gospel Bible Study - Thursday, March 2, 2023 - Mt 7:7-12

In Session 2, we saw that men in our society have fallen in a manner similar to King David and that we are suffering the same consequences. To understand why, we must go back “to the beginning” 

Men have been entrusted with four leadership roles. They flow from the original blessing to humanity. To fulfill these four leadership roles, men must develop within themselves the five characteristics of an authentic leader. There is incredible beauty and depth behind these leadership roles and characteristics.

There are heroic stories of men who have fulfilled them and tragic stories of those who haven’t. We cover all of them in the Fall semester of “Becoming a Man After God’s Own Heart.”

He wanted to be indoors and outdoors, part-time with adults and part-time with kids, doing meaningful and fun work, etc. Through an incredible series of jobs and moves, including a job at a water ski camp for wealthy families in the Northeast, Brian eventually landed the opportunity to own an RV and retreat destination in North Texas. Everything Brian had experienced up to this point now made sense and allowed him to build Lone Oak, the place you visit when you just need to hear your heartbeat again.Brian believes the world has become overstimulated and distracted. He's spent decades creating the ideal experience to lead others into their best life through youth camping, retreats, speaking, writing, coaching, and RV experiences. He is known as "The Encourager" and lives each day like it is his last.Brian and his wife, Jennifer, have four children: Joseph, Claire, Luke, and Eli. They raise their family on one basic principle: Be Kind, Love Always, and Remain Encouraged.Visit <a href="https://www.loneoakretreat.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lone Oak RV &amp; Retreat Center</a><h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="https://sockreligious.com/pages/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sock Religious (10% Discount)</a><a href="https://learnmore.solidarityhealthshare.org/beatidudes/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_campaign=BeatiDudes&amp;utm_content=why_solidarity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a><a href="https://aquinaswealth.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aquinas Wealth Advisors</a><a href="https://onfiremedia.com/beatidudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">On Fire Media</a><a href="https://www.lucidprivateoffices.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lucid Private Office</a><a href="https://ustmaxstudios.com/network/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MAX Studios</a><a href="https://divinecomedyimprov.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Divine Comedy</a><a href="https://www.undivided.life/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Undivided Life</a><h2>Follow The BeatiDudes:</h2><a href="https://www.undivided.life/podcasts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BeatiDudes Website</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/90739902/admin/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheBeatiDudesPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/beatidudes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a><a href="https://twitter.com/The_BeatiDudes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/schiefelbein/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeff Schiefelbein on LinkedIn</a>BeatiDudes Theme Song and Music By<a href="https://thepencilbureau.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Pencil Bureau</a> <a href="https://www.davemooremusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dave Moore Music</a>

The Encourager of Lone Oak RV & Retreat | Brian Manhart | Episode #183

Today, Deacon Jeff joins me as co-host, and together we’re talking about taking the first steps in restoring our relationship with God. When we get ourselves into a bind, we sometimes fall into a kind of opportunity paralysis. Truthfully, there’s a fool-proof process we should take when we need to return to the Father and ask for His help.

In this episode, we’ll learn that:
- Humility is the first step toward rebuilding a relationship with God.
- Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable keeps us open to His plan.
- When we surrender ourselves to God’s will, we are able to fully experience His help and love.
- The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a great example of how humility, vulnerability and surrender create a path toward reconciliation with the Father.
