Thanks for this. Definitely buying the book because I need solid reasons for hope. One encouraging sign my husband and I have come across is the testimony of our nephew who was ordained a priest in 2022. He has said that the group he studied with were all faithful men ready to serve the Lord and our mother, the Church. It was so uplifting to hear that. I appreciate your work, fathers, with this podcast and your faithful service to advance the kingdom of God. May God continue to bless your efforts.
I enjoyed your show, thank you! I shared with family and friends and will continue to do so!❤ ✝️ 🙏 📿 📖
My wife asked me what I wanted to do when I retired. I told her I wanted to go to daily Mass. So I strarted. How about being asked to do a weekly Communion Service for Catholic folks in a Memory Care unit (AKA Alzheimer's)? Or on Sunday, after Mass, an hour or two singing hymns and patriotic songs? I started with my Dad, and the volunteer program has expanded to the unit ( up to 38 residents) and another facility or 2. At this time, that's what the Lord is calling me to do. I don't see well, but I know about 400 tunes and can lead the singing. The tunes are mostly old hymns and songs. And they like the Hillbilly Thomists tunes. Stay tuned.
Go you, Tex! God bless!!
Thank you, Fathers for this interview. May God bless and strengthen our bishops, all around the world ❤
22:00 wrt to our Angry culture (& i 100% agree with what's being said), recently i learned that even a 'dislike' (thumbs-down) click on YT content *grants the content algorithmic positive attention*. So if one is trying to indicate 'I Don't Like This and Don't Want to See It Again' by a dislike action... you are actually telling a system, 'This Is AttentionGrabbing!!' and it'll use this ranking for its own dopamine-riddled mind games in us. We can see how a paradigm of THUMBS has been leading us astray, with inverted counter-intuition, ...into an angered stasis. It's turned us into powder kegs, and for really No Good Reason. ...oh gosh, it sounds like i'm about to order ANOTHER book soon 😅
Respectfully sir, I have not read your book, but would like to understand the backgrounds of the interviewees. My family likes to listen to this podcast, so I listen to have conversations about the topics. I am not a troll. I am searching for truth in Catholicism (not Chrisitanity) and my and my family’s souls are at stake.. My whole life I blamed church leadership (near Phila diocese, btw), but it was my poor decision making ultimately that has led me to become a wretched sinner. And, you’re correct; it IS about personal accountability and self-correction. So here’s where I get bucketed into the “angry male” category. You’re stating that “women are smarter, no surprise…” and asking your wife to tell you “what is your worst sin” is a human interpretation of your experience, not what Christ would teach us.. I’m sure your Christian (ex-Catholic friend) is a person of good will, however, I’d like to know why he left the church? I think more men should be interviewed for books like yours. I will try to read the book and maybe it’ll make sense to me. God bless
Chaput wasn't made a cardinal by Benedict; and he wasn't made a cardinal by Francis, either. Of course, after his resignation he then had the "courage" to call Francis a liar. Just another Christian Nationalist we are better off without. And as far as your very American "anger issues" are concerned, here's something attributed to St Augustine, which he never actually said: "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and courage to see that they do not remain as they are."
"There's no real evidence that Augustine ever wrote these words. But their content is clearly true and worth remembering as a guide to Christian discipleship." (Charles J. Chaput, "Strangers in a Strange Land", p. 162). 😊
