In March 2019, Bishop Barron was interviewed by Dr. Jordan Peterson for the Jordan B. Peterson Podcast. To say the discussion was highly anticipated is an understatement. Fans of both Dr. Peterson and Bishop Barron have asked for these two great minds to meet, and their wide-ranging, nearly two-hour discussion is worth the wait. Although the interview hasn't been made public yet on Jordan Peterson's channels, in this episode we discuss some of the most interesting parts of the interview.

WOF 177: Thoughts on the Jordan Peterson Interview

Leaders lead in their own way.  Saints are the same.  Although most of us have preconceptions about Saints, describing them in terms of prayer and piety, Pier Giorgio Frassati shows us a different look.  He was full of life, energy, and activism.  He was a courageous leader for his age, his peers, and for us today.

DGT Episode 89 Courageous Leaders Part 10 - Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

Having received countless scholarship offers, he was an offensive lineman for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first part of the 1990s and played in all four major bowl games in four consecutive years; the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl, and he is a part of the Catholic Athletes for Christ speakers bureau. Today, he gives concerts all over the world and also makes short films that explore much of the thematic content in his music in order to reveal an intimate look at the Merciful Face of Christ and the faithful become confident in God. He is the founder of Sistine Films, a production company that specializes in emotionally impactful story-based content that reveal the true face and heart behind leaders and their organizations.

227. 10-Minute Topics w/ Fr. Gregory Pine

What is Critical Race Theory? There are several tenets and Deacon Harold takes a look at them as well as Psalms 14 and how it impacts what we believe.

Critical Race Theory

The deacon is a minister of evangelization, a permanent and ordained sign and witness of Christ’s ministry of service. Through their service ministry, ordained deacons assist bishops with their responsibility of spreading the Gospel throughout the world, thus enhancing and strengthening the life of the Church. Deacon Harold opens up more and covers the Soulful Psalms.

St. Stephen & the Diaconate

Grab a seat in the pew as John and Victor discuss how Jesus doesn't want to be just another thing in our lives. He desires to be our everything.

Everything

He played three seasons in the Minnesota Twins organization and is a survivor of two near-death experiences. Back in his days as a student-athlete he led his high school to a city championship and received a college scholarship, going on to lead the nation in stolen bases in 1992 in NCAA Division II play. Later, during a seven-year span, his recreational coaching record was 85-5 with six championships along with three undefeated seasons. He is also a professional trainer and has not only published a children's book based around his being a coach, but also wrote a faith-based book on surviving Covid-19.

Episode 187 - The Holy Catholic Church celebrates the Solemnity of Corpus Christi - Sunday June 2, 2024 - Mk 14:12-16, 22-26

God touches our lives in so many amazing ways and when we seek him with passion and conviction on pilgrimage, we are making a spiritual investment that will have everlasting rewards. Deacon Harold shares more of his experiences and the benefits for you as you decide to go. Also looking at Soulful Psalm 122.

The Pilgrimage Experience

Below is the entire text from Aquinas I wrote, but before that... Thank God for good bishops like Bishop Rick Stika (@BishopStika) and Bishop J. Strickland (@Bishopoftyler). Go follow them and thank them for being faithful sons of the Church. Whether the Church should excommunicate anyone? Objection 1. It would seem that the Church ought not to excommunicate anyone, because excommunication is a kind of curse, and we are forbidden to curse (Romans 12:14). Therefore the Church should not excommunicate. Objection 2. Further, the Church Militant should imitate the Church Triumphant. Now we read in the epistle of Jude (verse 9) that "when Michael the Archangel disputing with the devil contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee." Therefore the Church Militant ought not to judge any man by cursing or excommunicating him. Objection 3. Further, no man should be given into the hands of his enemies, unless there be no hope for him. Now by excommunication a man is given into the hands of Satan, as is clear from 1 Corinthians 5:5. Since then we should never give up hope about anyone in this life, the Church should not excommunicate anyone. On the contrary, The Apostle (1 Corinthians 5:5) ordered a man to be excommunicated. Further, it is written (Matthew 18:17) about the man who refuses to hear the Church: "Let him be to thee as the heathen or publican." But heathens are outside the Church. Therefore they also who refuse to hear the Church, should be banished from the Church by excommunication. I answer that, The judgment of the Church should be conformed to the judgment of God. Now God punishes the sinner in many ways, in order to draw him to good, either by chastising him with stripes, or by leaving him to himself so that being deprived of those helps whereby he was kept out of evil, he may acknowledge his weakness, and humbly return to God Whom he had abandoned in his pride. In both these respects the Church by passing sentence of excommunication imitates the judgment of God. For by severing a man from the communion of the faithful that he may blush with shame, she imitates the judgment whereby God chastises man with stripes; and by depriving him of prayers and other spiritual things, she imitates the judgment of God in leaving man to himself, in order that by humility he may learn to know himself and return to God. Reply to Objection 1. A curse may be pronounced in two ways: first, so that the intention of the one who curses is fixed on the evil which he invokes or pronounces, and cursing in this sense is altogether forbidden. Secondly, so that the evil which a man invokes in cursing is intended for the good of the one who is cursed, and thus cursing is sometimes lawful and salutary: thus a physician makes a sick man undergo pain, by cutting him, for instance, in order to deliver him from his sickness. Reply to Objection 2. The devil cannot be brought to repentance, wherefore the pain of excommunication cannot do him any good. Reply to Objection 3. From the very fact that a man is deprived of the prayers of the Church, he incurs a triple loss, corresponding to the three things which a man acquires through the Church's prayers. For they bring an increase of grace to those who have it, or merit grace for those who have it not; and in this respect the Master of the Sentences says (Sent. iv, D, 18): "The grace of God is taken away by excommunication." They also prove a safeguard of virtue; and in this respect he says that "protection is taken away," not that the excommunicated person is withdrawn altogether from God's providence, but that he is excluded from that protection with which He watches over the children of the Church in a more special way. Moreover, they are useful as a defense against the enemy, and in this respect he says that "the devil receives greater power of assaulting the excommunicated person, both spiritually and corporally." Hence in the early Church, when men had to be enticed to the faith by means of outward signs (thus the gift of the Holy Ghost was shown openly by a visible sign), so too excommunication was evidenced by a person being troubled in his body by the devil. Nor is it unreasonable that one, for whom there is still hope, be given over to the enemy, for he is surrendered, not unto damnation, but unto correction, since the Church has the power to rescue him from the hands of the enemy, whenever he is willing.

Chronicling his conversion from Anglicanism to Catholicism, it explores the arguments and discoveries that convinced the Anglican churchman to cross the Tiber.

144: Are faith and reason incompatible? With Dr. Michael Gorman

Over the past few weeks we’ve been looking at the gospel of St. Mark to see what lessons in leadership can be found there.  Chapter 14, our Lord enters into His passion via the Last Supper.  There is no better place to understand the role of friendship in the life of Christ than here with his apostles in the upper room.

The Exorcist Movie with Fr. Martins

This modern and very human take on the story of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, often called "The Saint of Second Chances," is an incisive and thrilling look at the life of the real man behind the legend. In his lifelong quest to become the heroic knight of his fantasies, Ignatius stares death in the face again and again, having his leg shattered by a cannonball in battle, driven to near suicide by his inner demons, finding himself imprisoned, accused of being an illuminati, and finally finding his life in the hands of the Inquisition. Through it all, he would come to see the hand of God working in his life, shaping the self-obsessed sinner into the loyal and passionate soldier-saint.

Today we share Bishop Barron’s 2023 Commencement Address at Hillsdale College, delivered on May 13, 2023. In his address, Bishop Barron examined not the question of what we are to do in life—important as that is—but rather what kind of person we ought to be? Do we hunger and thirst for righteousness or do we seek our own advantage? In a way, he says, there is no question in the moral and spiritual order more fundamental than that.

WOF 398: The Most Important Decision in Life

People of faith in leadership positions find themselves in a quandary: “How do I live my faith when my job is vowed to be in a secular situation?”  After living that way for many years sometimes we can feel that faith does not actually have a place in the workplace after all.  The roots of Catholic leadership go very deep.  St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologica lays a surprisingly relevant foundation for Catholic principles.  I can’t wait to unpack them with you in this series of six talks delivered for the St. John Leadership Network.

Today Deacon Harold is traveling so we take you on the road as well with a challenging message for teens and high schoolers.

Roadshow Edition-High School Challenge

Objection 2: Further, it is unfitting that elements hostile to one another should be brought under the mastership of one. But many animals are hostile to one another, as the sheep and the wolf. Therefore all animals were not brought under the mastership of man. Reply to Objection 2. In the opinion of some, those animals which now are fierce and kill others, would, in that state, have been tame, not only in regard to man, but also in regard to other animals. But this is quite unreasonable. For then ature of animals was not changed by man's sin, as if those whose nature now it is to devour the flesh of others, would then have lived on herbs, as the lion and falcon. Nor does Bede's gloss on Genesis 1:30, say that trees and herbs were given as food to all animals and birds, but to some. Thus there would have been a natural antipathy between some animals. They would not, however, on this account have been excepted from the mastership of man: as neither at present are they for that reason excepted from the mastership of God, Whose Providence has ordained all this. Of thisProvidence man would have been the executor, as appears even now in regard to domestic animals, since fowls are given by men as food to the trained falcon. ST 1. Q 96.

No matter how successful someone is, or how perfect their life might look, they have or will experience loss, pain, and suffering in some way. You are almost an adult, and to this point in your life you may not have experienced any real trials, or you may have endured—and still may be enduring—genuine hardships. Why does God allow this to happen? How can we make sense of suffering in the world as Christians? In this chapter, we will take a closer look at three Christian insights into suffering as we begin to answer the question of why God would allow it to happen. We will also look at common misunderstandings of why there is suffering in the world, and why they are incompatible with who God is.In this episode you will learn that ...■ Jesus Himself endured great suffering.■ By reflecting on Christ’s Suffering, Death, and Resurrection, we can gain three special insights in reflecting on the meaning of suffering.1. The Resurrection of Jesus and the suffering He endured for our sake perfectly reveals God’s unconditional love for us.2. Suffering is far from meaningless; it helps us move toward our eternal salvation.3. There will be no suffering in our own resurrection.■ Suffering is not only experienced by the unjust, and not solely the result of Original Sin.■ God may cause suffering directly if it is for our salvation and does not interfere with our freedom.■ Humility and trust must always be the basis of our relationship with God. As this relationship grows, it becomes more possible for us to endure suffering peacefully without understanding why it is happening.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr. Spitzer is a Catholic priest in the Jesuit order and is currently the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith (<a href="https://magiscenter.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">magiscenter.com</a>).

A Dram with Jake Khym

What really happens when we die? In a recent <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/TruthInsideOfYou/videos/1519175098148486/">interview</a> with Larry King, popular astro-physicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, offers a scientifically reduced answer to this philosophically rich question. In this episode of the Word On Fire Show, Bishop Barron reacts to Tyson's response and offers a more holistic understanding of human identity and death. A listener asks how God can be both a person and the sheer act of "to be" itself. Love the show?  Want more people to listen? Take two seconds to leave us a review!

WOF 089: What Really Happens When We Die?

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. In light of Pope Francis' "<a href= "https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/motu_proprio/documents/20210716-motu-proprio-traditionis-custodes.html">Traditionis Custodes</a>," we flesh out 7 reasons why the Latin Mass is truly extraordinary. 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.

The economy must serve people, not the other way around. Work is more than a way to make a living; it is a form of continuing participation in God’s creation. Deacon Harold more about the meaning of work today and looking at Soulful Psalm 90:7-10

The Meaning of Work

He has been in various roles in sports throughout his life. In his childhood he played CYO basketball and Little League baseball. In high school he played intramural softball and has also played in softball leagues in his adult life. He also coached CYO basketball in the past and nowadays helps coach his daughter's baseball league. He also had a long history as a sportswriter for a newspaper in Queens and had been the Assistant Sports Editor for St. John's University. He is the author not only of a book from two-and-a-half years ago called "Dreams Come True: Discovering God’s Vision for your Life," but, more recently, a second book that just came out this past April, titled, "Batter Up: Answering the Call of Faith and Fatherhood."

Why the Birth of a Child Propelled Religious Inquiry | Guest Christine Flynn

For many people, making decisions is one of the hardest things about leadership.  And yet it is something that every leader has to do all the time.  Loving and serving our God doesn’t take away our responsibility to make good choices and to engage them with all the energy that we have.  But if it’s so important then why do we have such a hard time doing it?  St. Thomas Aquinas offers keen insight into how decisions are made and how love can turn a decision into a choice.
