How do we avoid the culture of conformity? One of the biggest challenges we face as Catholics is aligning our desires with the truth of the Gospel instead of the culture at large. As Pope St. John Paul II stated, “man is more valuable for what he is than what he has ”. In Episode Two, Andreas Widmer and Luke Burgis lead us to discover why it's important to make intentional choices to conform our life to Christ and the Gospel, instead of defaulting to the ways of others.

Humility gives us the wisdom to understand our strengths and weaknesses (or talents and non-talents) so that we can use our own gifts for the glory of God and recognize the contribution of others.

All people have inherent dignity and worth, no matter their background, ethnicity, age, sex, ability, or talent. We should care for sick people and help the needy. Common sense, right? Hardly. We tend to take these ideas for granted now, but Jesus’ teachings were truly radical at the time. In this chapter, you will explore how the message of Christianity changed the world.In this episode you will learn that ...■ The ultimate expression of Jesus’ unconditional love is His self-sacrifice at the end of His earthly mission.■ At the Last Supper Jesus instituted the Eucharist, specifying that this gift is truly His Body and Blood.■ Jesus initiated a New Covenant — a solemn binding promise between parties — in His Blood, bringing salvation to our entire human race.■ Jesus instructed the Apostles to perform the Eucharistic ritual so that He would actually be present with them when they do, anywhere on Earth, throughout history.■ Knowing and sharing God’s love and our intended destiny to be happy with Him can make the difference between a life of hope and a life of despair, especially in a world so darkened by suffering and evil.About Fr Spitzer: Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on May 16, 1952, Fr.

Episode 13: Jesus Unconditional Self-Offering

We all know that leaders are responsible for getting things done, leading their organizations to be productive, but sometimes we forget that leadership also sometimes has a softer side and that a leader is just as responsible for the moral climate of his organization as he is for its efficiency.  In St. Paul’s letter to Titus, Chapter 2, St. Paul outlines his vision for the leader as the guardian of excellence.  And what he wrote Titus then still holds true for us today.

Being Authentically Catholic  w/ Bill Donaghy

"Beige Catholicism" is a phrase Bishop Barron coined early in his career as a way of describing the Church's lackluster adoption of the post-conciliar movement. Much of Bishop Barron's evangelical work, including his famous Catholicism book and film series, focuses on bringing Christ's radical distinctiveness and the Tradition's beautiful vibrancy back into our understanding of the Church. In this episode Bishop Barron details the problems with beige Catholicism as well as the path to a solution. Finally, a listener asks about the Benedict Option for Catholics struggling to keep the faith alive in contemporary culture.

WOF 034: Don't Be a 'Beige' Catholic

Fr. Ken Geraci lived the life of the prodigal son for most of his young adult life. Raised in a nominally Catholic family, who only lived the externals of the faith, Fr. Ken left the Catholic Church for many years. During that time, he earned a business degree and worked as a business professional in Advanced R&amp;D and software testing. &nbsp;During this journey, God presented him with challenges that forced him to question his personal beliefs and the question, “What is Truth?” Through a series of conversions, years of struggle, study, and questioning, Fr. Ken found his way from agnosticism to non-denominational Christianity, and ultimately back to the Catholic Church. Fr. Ken joined the Fathers of Mercy in 2006 and was ordained in 2012. Fr. Ken has a great understanding of the personal and societal pressures that individuals face and knows what it is like to “hate coming to church.” His mission talks are for people of all levels of faith, from those who are madly in love with Jesus to those who struggle with church and religion.In this episode, Fr. Ken shares the history of his order and discusses the current crisis of manhood. The BeatiDudes joke about Fr. Ken’s understated crucifix before inviting him to judge their comedy woes on “Blessed are the Joke Makers.” As we follow Fr. Ken through the journey of his life, we come to learn of his spiritual gift of healing. This show ends with a deep reflection on the process of healing, along with a healing exercise that all are welcome to join. Fair warning, we told you the BeatiDudes was a blend of humor and holiness, prepare for a big dose of both. <h2>Our Partners:</h2><a href="http://www.joinsolidarity.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidarity HealthShare</a>joinsolidarity.com <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://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 Fathers of Mercy:</h2><a href="https://fathersofmercy.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fathers of Mercy Website</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>

Catholic Priest with The GIFT OF HEALING | Fr. Ken Geraci | Episode #013

The things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least. The Church has the most important mission on the planet, "Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18). The Family is the most important institution in the history of humanity, "The future of the world and the Church passes through the family" (Saint John Paul II). This podcast is a conversation about Leadership Where it Matters Most.

Leadership Where it Matters Most

In this episode we’ll learn that:

 - Striving to be perfect leads to disappointment and even depression
 - God is happy with the small steps we make to be better
 - Finding the right tools and relationships helps us make progress.

Last month, Jon Steingard, frontman of the Christian rock group Hawk Nelson, revealed that <a href= "https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/27/entertainment/jonathan-steingard-atheist/index.html"> “he no longer believes in God”</a> after spending his life as a devout Christian. His prominent de-conversion was profiled by The TODAY Show, People Magazine, NPR, and numerous other outlets. In today’s episode of “The Word on Fire Show,” Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt explore the reasons Jon Steingard gave to explain why he lost his faith.

CANDID - Things to Know About Getting Engaged, Pt. 2

The nature and purpose of the human body was once considered obvious. But it has come under attack from secular culture in some strange and even disturbing ways in recent years. Now, unfortunately, it is up for grabs. The Word on Fire Institute sought to address this confusion surrounding the body at our recent Wonder Conference, “Nature and the Human Body.” Drawing on rich theological, philosophical, scientific, medical, moral, political, technological, and artistic resources, the conference sought to reclaim an authentic understanding and deep appreciation for the body—its resilience and fragility, its joys and its sufferings, its transcendence and its temporality, and, above all, its wonder. A listener asks how Catholics should think about near-death experiences and stories.   00:00 | Intro 01:23 | Hosting the Wonder Conference in Bishop Barron’s own diocese 02:25 | Why we needed Wonder 03:50 | Understanding the false dichotomy of faith and science 06:20 | Addressing the question of body/soul unity 12:38 | Inherent dangers in dividing body and soul 15:36 | Can Catholic ministries give platforms to evolutionary biologists? 17:11 | Highlights from Dr. Heather Heying’s Wonder talk 18:45 | Beginning with the logos and intelligibility 20:04 | The human difference 21:04 | Bishop Barron Presents: liturgical artist Jonathan Pageau 23:06 | Materialism as an incoherent philosophy vs. scientific worldview 26:30 | The intelligibility of creation 27:36 | Fr.

WOF 453: Nature & the Human Body—Recapping Wonder 2024

Today is the first in a two-part series on the incarnation I recorded with Fr. Gregory Pine. --- Here's what we read today:   On the contrary, What frees the human race from perdition is necessary for the salvation of man. But the mystery of Incarnation is such; according to John 3:16: "God so loved the world as to give His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but may have life everlasting." Therefore it was necessary for man's salvation that God should become incarnate. I answer that, A thing is said to be necessary for a certain end in two ways. First, when the end cannot be without it; as food is necessary for the preservation of human life. Secondly, when the end is attained better and more conveniently, as a horse is necessary for a journey. In the first way it was not necessary that God should become incarnate for the restoration of human nature. For God with His omnipotent power could have restored human nature in many other ways. But in the second way it was necessary that God should become incarnate for the restoration of human nature. Hence Augustine says (De Trin. xii, 10): "We shall also show that other ways were not wanting to God, to Whose power all things are equally subject; but that there was not a more fitting way of healing our misery." Now this may be viewed with respect to our "furtherance in good." First, with regard to faith, which is made more certain by believing God Himself Who speaks; hence Augustine says (De Civ. Dei xi, 2): "In order that man might journey more trustfully toward the truth, the Truth itself, the Son of God, having assumed human nature, established and founded faith." Secondly, with regard to hope, which is thereby greatly strengthened; hence Augustine says (De Trin. xiii): "Nothing was so necessary for raising our hope as to show us how deeply God loved us. And what could afford us a stronger proof of this than that the Son of God should become a partner with us of human nature?" Thirdly, with regard to charity, which is greatly enkindled by this; hence Augustine says (De Catech. Rudib. iv): "What greater cause is there of the Lord's coming than to show God's love for us?" And he afterwards adds: "If we have been slow to love, at least let us hasten to love in return." Fourthly, with regard to well-doing, in which He set us an example; hence Augustine says in a sermon (xxii de Temp.): "Man who might be seen was not to be followed; but God was to be followed, Who could not be seen. And therefore God was made man, that He Who might be seen by man, and Whom man might follow, might be shown to man." Fifthly, with regard to the full participation of the Divinity, which is the true bliss of man and end of human life; and this is bestowed upon us by Christ's humanity; for Augustine says in a sermon (xiii de Temp.): "God was made man, that man might be made God."

Case #03 - Spiritual Roulette - Pt. 1

Jon Leonetti reminds us that we aren’t the first ones that didn’t know how to pray. The disciples went to Jesus, and Jesus pointed them to the Father!

DONT KNOW HOW TO PRAY?

Article 2. Whether there was any other possible way of human deliverance besides the Passion of Christ? Objection 1. It would seem that there was no other possible way of human deliverance besides Christ's Passion. For our Lord says (John 12:24): "Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground dieth, itself remaineth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." Upon this St. Augustine (Tract. li) observes that "Christ called Himself the seed." Consequently, unless He suffered death, He would not otherwise have produced the fruit of ourredemption. Objection 2. Further, our Lord addresses the Father (Matthew 26:42): "My Father, if this chalice may not pass away but I must drink it, Thy will be done." But He spoke there of the chalice of the Passion. Therefore Christ's Passion could not pass away; hence Hilary says (Comm. 31 in Matth.): "Therefore the chalice cannot pass except He drink of it, because we cannot be restored except through His Passion." Objection 3. Further, God's justice required that Christ should satisfy by the Passion in order that man might be delivered from sin. But Christ cannot let His justice pass; for it is written (2 Timothy 2:13): "If we believe not, He continueth faithful, He cannot deny Himself." But He would deny Himself were He to deny His justice, since He is justiceitself. It seems impossible, then, for man to be delivered otherwise than by Christ's Passion. Objection 4. Further, there can be no falsehood underlying faith. But the Fathers of old believed that Christ would suffer. Consequently, it seems that it had to be that Christ should suffer. On the contrary, Augustine says (De Trin. xiii): "We assert that the way whereby God deigned to deliver us by the manJesus Christ, who is mediator between God and man, is both good and befitting the Divine dignity; but let us also show that other possible means were not lacking on God's part, to whose power all things are equally subordinate." I answer that, A thing may be said to be possible or impossible in two ways: first of all, simply and absolutely; or secondly, from supposition. Therefore, speaking simply and absolutely, it was possible for God to deliver mankindotherwise than by the Passion of Christ, because "no word shall be impossible with God" (Luke 1:37). Yet it was impossible if some supposition be made. For since it is impossible for God's foreknowledge to be deceived and His will or ordinance to be frustrated, then, supposing God's foreknowledge and ordinance regarding Christ's Passion, it was not possible at the same time for Christ not to suffer, and for mankind to be delivered otherwise than by Christ's Passion. And the same holds good of all things foreknown and preordained by God, as was laid down in I, 14, 13. Reply to Objection 1. Our Lord is speaking there presupposing God's foreknowledge and predetermination, according to which it was resolved that the fruit of man's salvation should not follow unless Christ suffered. Reply to Objection 2. In the same way we must understand what is here objected to in the second instance: "If thischalice may not pass away but I must drink of it"--that is to say, because Thou hast so ordained it--hence He adds: "Thy will be done." Reply to Objection 3. Even this justice depends on the Divine will, requiring satisfaction for sin from the human race. But if He had willed to free man from sin without any satisfaction, He would not have acted against justice. For a judge, while preserving justice, cannot pardon fault without penalty, if he must visit fault committed against another--for instance, against another man, or against the State, or any Prince in higher authority. But God has no one higher than Himself, for He is the sovereign and common good of the whole universe. Consequently, if He forgive sin, which has the formality of fault in that it is committed against Himself, He wrongs no one: just as anyone else, overlooking a personaltrespass, without satisfaction, acts mercifully and not unjustly. And so David exclaimed when he sought mercy: "To Thee only have I sinned" (Psalm 50:6), as if to say: "Thou canst pardon me without injustice." Reply to Objection 4. Human faith, and even the Divine Scriptures upon which faith is based, are both based on the Divine foreknowledge and ordinance. And the same reason holds good of that necessity which comes of supposition, and of the necessity which arises of the Divine foreknowledge and will. --- ST III, Q46.

Making Missionary Disciples w/ Curtis Martin

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, John meets with Kevin Wells to discuss the life of a man and likely future saint that we can all learn a great deal from. If you have never heard of Venerable Fr. Aloysius Schwartz, who died in 1992 after saving tens of thousands of children, this episode is worth your time. His adventurous spirit and passionate devotion to Our Lady brought him to the depths of faith that few of us achieve in this life. His work and legacy continue today through the order of the Sisters of Mary.In this episode we discuss;<ul>
<li>How Fr. Al Schwartz fought corruption</li>
<li>His never-ending drive to follow God's will</li>
<li>How he physically fought a mob boss</li>
<li>His love of The Virgin of the Poor and Her miraculous working in his life</li>
<li>And More...</li>

About our drink:
Aberlour 16 Double Cask Bottling Note
Matured in two types of casks, the traditional oak and sherry oak casks and bottled at a slightly lower abv of 40% than previous editions, this 16 year old Aberlour is bursting with lush plum, raisin and even floral notes. A cracking Speyside malt.
About our gear:
Having a will.
Our topic:
<div class="fluid-width-video-wrapper">
1858 Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer of Jesus to the rich young man: “Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and your mother.” The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.[1]
Rev 2:10 - Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Beware, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison so that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have affliction. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.[2]
Matt 10:33 - whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.[3]
