For those who just can’t leave. You don’t have to go out and buy acres of land. I’ve been homesteading for 13 years now. We live in an old neighborhood on a 1/2 acre lot. We have chicken, goats and a very large gardens. Nobody is going to chase me out of a place I was born and raised. We can’t keep running, they need to leave. Maryland has been a Catholic state from the beginning. We are 25 minutes from a fssp parish.
Well. I haven't watched this yet, but my heart skipped a beat when I read the title. I have been feeling a deep longing for a different lifestyle, closer to homesteading, and I have just finished praying about it.
There’s a really good book (many, actually) on small homesteading titled A Very Small Farm by William Paul Winchester. He bought 20 acres and created a farm for himself in the 90’s.
Thank you, Brian, for correcting the common misconception about The Benedict Option. It is NOT about retreating or hiding from the world. You can think of it this way: if you were being attacked by a rifle squad - bullets flying, artillery shells dropping all around you, it would be incredibly negligent to allow your 4 yr old to go outside and play as if nothing is wrong.
Great interview. We're Catholic homesteaders with 8 kids and a full time job (plus a few side-gigs :)), and love this authentic life. Everything you guys discussed resonated. Thanks!
Can't believe how similar my situation is to Brandon's as he was describing at the 1:01:55 mark. I'm in Washington state on an island, I attend an FSSP parish with a two hour drive both ways, and I am moving to an acre of land in Idaho that will be 15 minutes from an FSSP parish to pursue a homesteading lifestyle and a thriving Catholic community.
Our family moved from the Boston area where we had an hour and a half each way to an FSSP parish to Texas where it’s only about 15 minutes and we can Homestead. This is happening all over the country 🙏🏼
@@verum-in-omnibus1035 where in Texas? Currently in SoCal and will be moving to Texas. We’re looking at DFW area. Found a few parishes but I’m unfamiliar with FSSP and only heard of it in a few videos I’ve stumbled across. I haven’t done my due diligence yet to have an opinion if that’s something we want to join (FSSP) but am open to learning more. If you are willing to share please do.
If memory serves, there was a regular column by a Catholic homesteader for the excellent but short-lived Catholic magazine called "Caelum et Terra." Those columns would be worth compiling into an e-book for distribution to a new generation.
I feel so much more admiration (and slight envy) for someone who has successfully started a farmstead as opposed to the stereotypical millionaire with a mansion, sports cars, etc.
You young people are fortunate to discover the beauty of homesteading,?raising plants, animals, and of course a beautiful large brood of children, before you’re too old. At my age -69- I’m y too old to begin farming or ranching. Do it while you can and thank God for your lifestyle. In one way I am quite lucky and that is that even when I was still a child being raised in a “Protestant” home, I fell in love with the Blessed Mother and have never had a problem with Her. She is my Mother, my Mentor, and someone I deeply love.
Be still my heart 🥰 I have a full time job but have 4 chickens and a small garden in the suburbs. It’s my pride and joy. Praise be to God. Always looking for more ways to be a little bit more self-sustaining and connecting with nature and God.
Northern Kentucky/southern Ohio has every group of Traditional Catholics/schools/home school groups available. (SSPX, FSSP, ICKSP, Sede groups, ...etc.). Depending on how the Traditional Mass is suppressed in the future, there are a lot of options close. Bourbon too!
Gosh, I just love how clearly he is articulating his thought process here in the beginning! We are converting as a family to orthodoxy and whereas I never really saw myself as a protestant, and I don’t really have a bone to pick with any of it, I am seeing that these logical fallacies were there all along. Thank you so much - this is very confirming.
With my wife we're actively looking to move to the country and start a homestead. Our biggest issue is to find something near a good, active Catholic Church.
I followed my mom to St. George Utah after my father's passing in 2011 and on my mom's birthday. 2018 I was gently pushed or guided back to the Uintah Basin. We live the country life, always have. This New Start has damaged my health, so I can't do much. I do have my kids and mom all under 2 roofs, but 1 house...😆 My neighbor and I are doing the best we can. It's not easy learning more of the pioneer ways in hopes of being prosperous, a whole Lot'ta HOPE goes into it...and a Lot'ta PRAYERS 🥰
I would love to be part of this too! Discerned with the Concord NH Carmelites and mowed lawns for 48 years...I am 63 yet still desires to "beautify" the world in which we've been given - to pray the Litany n actively live out my Catholic Faith, glorifying Our Lord, Father n Creator.✝️
Very much like this! I have 3 of my adult children living on our large property and hope to have the rest of my family to join us someday. 1 or 2 milk cow feeds all of us (9 +) chickens, horses... unfortunately they have all left the faith, but Jesus reveals to Barnabas in the Precious blood booklet, 'I will convert them before the great tribulation '!
I am originally from California, a convert from the Protestant religion who is now a traditional Catholic living in the south and working on my major knowledge gap with homesteading! Thank you for this interview and may God bless you both and everyone who is trying to live off the land God created in glory 🥒🤗🙏🏼
This was such an amazing discussion. Brandon really knows his stuff. Very inspiring for me as a 25-year-old trying to figure out what I want my family to look like when I and my wife have children.
Thank you for aticulating this so much for me. This had been the pattern of Christian life for many centuries before the Industrial Revolution. I have been able to contemplate for some time now that there is something very noble in having to grow your own food and having to feed yourself and others with it. It is biblical and several passages seem to romanticize agriculture for me. The verses from Sirach 40:17-23 seem to illustrate nicely what you're talking about here. Land, crops, cattle, labor, wife and raising children. I have been raised in a suburban setting. My dad came from a family of butchers from the city and my mom was from a farming family who died when I was so young that she did not have time to pass to me what she knew in cultivating the land. I have inherited some sizeable agricultural land that our tenants use. I'm currently a shopkeeper in our small family business. I have spent most of my life in the suburbs as an introvert and is enjoying the convenience as you would say that came along. I too have struggles with sin and my novus ordo parish is not nourishing me on a personal level, partly due to me being an introvert and because we are missing something deeply spiritual there. We don't have TLM in our country so that's not an option. I am 29 years old and I'm not married. Never dated anyone. Life is very sad. For anyone out there, what would be your advice to me? Thank you.
@Ramir Reyes Pray the Rosary daily is youbarw struggling w sin pray the 4 rosaries a day...To learn more go to gabi after hours he has great videos to help you understand our faith and how devotion to Mary helps us make leap and bounds in the walk to Jesus. Be the light of Christ to those you come in contact with everyday, that they live better than how they came to you..A smile , a good morning, .a blessing......Blessings to you brother in Christ🙏
Animals living on the small Farm do not live in fear. They are happy, beloved parts of the farm and they are very well treated. In the natural state they live in an almost constant state of fear. No medicine, no treats, no protection, no honor.
Delighted to find this video, I have watched and enjoyed several of Brandon's videos on the humane harvesting and processing of farm animals. But, I didn't know he was also Catholic. Thank you
I think I recognize your profile name from a discussion we both had about Protestantism on a video about Jordan Peterson. A couple months later I told you that I was going to convert and that our conversation was the starting point for me 'to clear this reformation question once in for all'. I'll have my confirmation this Pentecost and had my first Holy Communion at the Easter vigil. I'm remembering you from time to time. :)
@@intedominesperavi6036 Great to hear from you again. I recall our conversation. Thank you for letting me know. By the grace of God, and your cooperation with it I'm humbled to hear about your journey that will continue for many Pentecosts to come. I'll keep you in my prayers and appreciate yours. Hold on tight because it's only going to become more challenging!
I wanted to live this homesteading lifestyle my whole life, but it didn’t happen. Yet now, in my later years, it looks like it may because of living in conjunction with younger generation family. Makes me in awe of God’s wonderful providence.
I wish there was a website for Catholics who want to do homesteading or want to build up intentional communities to connect with online, like Ave Maria's throughout the country
Same! Small homes, community building for shared cooking- living, community cows, sheep, horse chickens, community and individual gardens, community orchards. Shared chores. And a prayer chapel.
Homesteading farming is very Catholic! We have started on this journey. I have seen traditional cath fb pages sharing property listings for sale in areas that have tlm and a strong cath community, unfortunately nothing like that near where we are, but building catholic communities is essential, I worry whom my children can marry..
If I might also recommend Townsends interview with Rory Graves on his book "Durable Trades ", it's kind of preppy, but the meat of the book is practical explanation of various trades that have stood the test of the Industrial Revolution.
Thank you! It’s the first time I hear an American saying that the best prosciutto is from Spain... as a Spanish person, yes it’s true, but in the US I usually hear people praise Italian prosciutto, that even though it’s good it’s completely different from the Spanish (Jamón ibérico de bellota 😋😋😋)
I wish I was younger as this a great idea of living in rural communities. This be done in a similar way that other faith communities have done. Just as there was a trend toward living in the cities 100 years ago, maybe we will see the opposite trend really happening as the liberal cities become a nightmare.
Start where you are. Gardening if you have the space. Cooking from scratch. This year we got a small backyard flock of chickens for the first time. We're only on a small suburban plot and only really have the room for 6. I've never raised chickens. I've butchered a store bought bird only twice, and I did a terrible job and it took way longer than it needed to, and it already had the innards removed. So that's where I'm practicing now. When I've gotten proficient in that I'll move on to something else. Like they said earlier in the video, there's a lot of traditions that we've been deprived of, and unless we do the work to reclaim them, our children will be deprived of them as well
Mr.Holdsworth, would you be so kind and provide your guest's link in the show notes? I sincerely enjoyed this very eye-opening, encouraging, & theologically sound discussion. Thank you for your work and time put into editing & posting. May God The Father grant you and your beautiful family grace in living more in tune with the order of creation & its creatures! Viva Christo Rey! Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai!
Miller, Smith, Wright, Thatcher, Shepherd, Mason, Taylor, Wheeler, Weaver, Butcher, Wagner, Clark, Potter - feel free to add to the list if trades names. This is fun!
You guys have a really good back and forth and it was really interesting..very informative, educative and drew me in..you guys should do some more videos together. God bless Mary protect
I’ve been wanting to start a catholic ‘eco’ community for 20 years.. my background is in architecture/community planning.. and grew up on a ‘hobby farm’ and in 4-h. I’m in Kansas. Anyone else interested in a eco community based on ‘homesteading’ lifestyle as a small community, in the middle of the US?
This was great! Ive been killing my animals wrong, separatng them away from the rest and causing distress. Thank you so much for all the great details.
Mr. Sheard - Do you have particular Catholic prayers before, during, and after slaughtering? This podcast was so amazing and helpful for my kids and I who are actively searching for our small homestead right now.
You asked at the beginning about surnames according to profession, Mr. Sheard gave you the German name. I, too, don't know what Butcher would be as a surname in English, but my last name Boucher, is butcher in French. So, the profession name for butcher is out there.
Homesteading in the age of democrat tyranny and deep state corruption makes more sense than it ever has. And I see now in suburbia homesteading is catching on not just with the poors but the elites too. That is how dire times are becoming. I think that homesteading is a great aspiration. Sure many of us pass through seasons were we must wander and travel. But once we start putting down roots it is so sensible.
I liked the Homesteading bit. But the first part made me continuously say to myself, "Tell me you haven't read Lutheran Dogma without telling me you haven't read Lutheran Dogma."
Does anyone know of a Catholic van life community? Many Van lifers transition to homesteading after traveling the country in search of land to purchase.
I gave my book of the Rosary by St Louis de Montfort away to a gentleman. It came back to me through other means. I'm so glad you gentlemen came to the Church. Welcome! God bless you both and your families! Question: Is it feasible to start homesteading when you are old and have health issues? I am currently gardening and canning/preserving our food, but cannot afford pastured or healthier meat. My family has no interest in homesteading but I want to move to the country to raise our own but my husband says a move would kill him and I think a healthier lifestyle might heal him. I pray daily that they will come around to this way of thinking. Please offer some rosaries for us, and other families like us. I believe in the power of prayer and Our Lady's help. The Eucharist: we eat what it becomes(the body of Christ) and we become what we eat(the body of Christ).
My grandparents were farmers, and both of my grandfathers also held other jobs. One was a mailman, the other worked construction and did odd jobs for people. That's how they housed, fed, and clothed their 15 and 8 children respectively. My parents moved to the city, so the only farming I got to know was from visiting my grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-aunts and uncles. I remember going off meat for a time after the first time I saw headless hogs hung to drain the blood. I guess I was about 5 years old. That phase didn't last long, because bacon tastes so good. When my daughter was 5, my Grandpa invited me to bring the kids to enjoy fresh pork chops. He had been raising two pigs, and had just butchered one. The other was still fattening up. I wanted my kids to know where food really comes from, so I asked Grandpa to educate them. My son was only 3, but my daughter was old enough to understand. Grandpa first took us to the pig shed to meet the one that was still fattening. My kids were enamored with the pig, just like it was a puppy or kitten. I wasn't sure how my daughter would react to eating the pig's brother, but we did explain it to her before Grandpa served up the chops. It didn't faze her. She was a very moderate eater, not finicky, but it didn't take much to fill her up. At home, she might eat part of a pork chop. Yet she ate three chops that day, fully knowing where it came from. When she finished, she exclaimed, "Mmmm Grandpa, that pig tasted so good! When you kill your other pig, can we come and eat him too?" Today she's a mom, and she and her husband buy a beef steer every year. They're city dwellers, but they buy from a beef farmer who raises the animals and butchers them for his customers. My daughter made sure to educate her sons, taking them to meet their steer as he grows, and at least once to observe the killing and butchering.
This was an interesting conversation. However, I think there was an overreach in the criticism of the "industrial system". Obviously there are massive benefits that arise from the efficiencies of the current system, which, for example, the poorer parts of society are particular beneficiaries. That doesn't mean there aren't downsides of this approach and also benefits of a homesteading approach. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater intellectually.
I agree. I personally found him very opinionated, which was sad to me. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and he seems to dismiss as un-enlightened everyone who’s not a homesteader but rather has a specialized profession, or lives in a city, or a suburb, which is ridiculous. I’m a Catholic who lives in the country with my husband and three teenage children but I’m not a homesteader, and that’s fine. My eldest wants to go into criminal justice, my middle wants to be a pediatric nurse practitioner, and my youngest wants to go into aeronautical engineering. So much to offer humanity in the glory of God.
Your family sounds very grounded; and I agree but it sounds like many of these “Catholic Homesteaders” is they lived in areas that are so contraindicated from true love of God. I live right outside of Philadelphia and the culture is “depraved” yet I know so many locally great Catholics. I pray my 5 children can sustain themselves because they aren’t practicing now.
I’d join that type living! This morning on my drive to work I was thinking it’d be nice to have a horse and buggy to get around in a smaller community. Husband and I are looking for property to accommodate chickens, cows, pigs and a horse or two. Orchards and a garden.
Hmmm, I think it is a bit strange to downplay the sentience of animals. There are many animals who show complex communication with their own or other species. Gorillaz can even learn complex sign language, that they avidly use to express their thoughts, feelings and needs. That is not instinct. They have incredibly complex hierarchies within their tribes. No, animals are not as self-aware as we are. But they are aware, more so than is being explained by Brian. Many animals remember humans they encountered decades later, with great affection or hate. Acceptance of death, it is not that simple. Trust is not to be mistaken as acceptance.
"Gorillaz can even learn complex sign language" No they haven't. This has never been observed. There's literally no evidence that any material living thing has rational capabilities.
All life ends at some point. Nothing negative about humanly ending a life and using it in a useful way (food). Slaughtering animals existed in biblical history..
We so much want to do this, or something very close to it (Benedict Option type life), but it seems very expensive. My parents live in the country and have attempted to start a farm. The start up costs have been so high and the return is so low that they have given up making it work. What are some tips to making this lifestyle financially stable?
Most of my extended family is on farms in the midwest. I grew up on a tree farm in Georgia. This is nice, but not fair to those born after 1980 since land is so pricey and getting bought by foreigners and investors, so millennials don't qualify! I grew up in a family of 9. So any inheritance from my parents would be split up by 9, so it won't be enough to afford a homestead!! I am working on sewing, being a seamstress and my husband is a lab tech, so a chemistry major/pre med. What's some options that younger generations can do? We just do patio/small gardening etc!! We are still trying for our first baby (I'm 36, hubby is 42) so no dream large family!! 😢
Like he mentioned, he started out with 2 acres. Todays modern farms are 160 acres or bigger and are mostly monoculture. To have family's close together, each family producing what they can, works so well
@@lynbsker1968 but the property was bought awhile ago when prices were still lower. Most couples are getting outbid for property here in the states!! Everyone's savings are low with rising costs on literally everything!! I understand the concept, but growing up on a farm myself, it's not perfect either!
Small communities all over need lab techs. And there are still small old homesteads for kind of reasonable prices. Also looking. Usually plots are larger than what we want. May buy larger and split something?
We humanely and naturally raise meat chickens once a year. We treat them well and with respect and when the moment comes we make it as painless as possible thanking God for. Three years ago I would have said no way, now I thank God that I have seen how this can be a Godly thing. Edit: free range organic chicken is the best meat we have ever eaten. And it is sustainable.
Every time I throw my radish and beet tops into the compost pile (yes I do eat many of the greens) I’m thinking, “chickens and pigs would love this stuff….”
@@rosezingleman5007 we no longer have any leftovers. The only thing we don’t toss in the pile is citrus fruit because it affects the absorption of calcium needed for egg laying and onions because the eggs can taste weird if the chickens eat too much of that.
Who says that the industrial food system is feeding people and everyone has enough? Such a statement by Brian Holdsworth reveals an utter disconnect with how life actually exists at the sub-upper-middle-class echelon of society, where, just in a lightly populated area like Southern Illinois, literally thousands of school children every week need donated packs of popcorn and crackers to get through the weekend because their own family can't feed them.
Oh, one more inconvenience in homesteading. If you are far out in the country, you’ll never be close enough to a Latin Mass to drive in on a weekly basis. We’ve never farmed but we did rent a cabin a a very remote part of Montana for 2 years and the closest Latin Mass was about 4 hrs away by car.
St Mary’s KS is a Latin mass community. Not sure which Latin type.. but it’s a smaller city / large town in a rural area. My smallish town has a priest who does Latin mass on Saturdays. And has a respectful NO mass on the other days. There are good small towns with Latin mass. Just have to look harder to find them.
Somebody said that you spend half your life running away from home and the other half trying to get back. I grew up on a small family farm where we grew and butchered everything we ate: we spent almost three quarters of our waking hours doing so and ate like kings as a result. As a boy I disliked the blood and gore of butchering which is part of the reason I fled the farm the other part is that I wanted to earn big bucks working in the trades. After years of being treated as just another number by companies both large and small, a small farm with a few pigs, a few chickens, a few cattle and a milk cow is looking pretty good. A word of caution however: sin thrives in isolation and in the isolation of those farms I grew up amongst, there were abuses which went on that Hell wouldn't have and that's not much of an exaggeration. Those who worship nature all live in the city and we should not romanticize the reality of farm life. Farm life is hard, dirty, with lots of bugs, and you can kiss goodbye any vacations. You must then humble yourself to God's Providence, be at the mercy of the elements and to take your enjoyment from the little things in life.
Brian, your co-presenter, Brandon Sheard's, proposal or assertion: "Evangelism by procreation", requires union as union requires procreation in covenant, non-presumed reciprocity. Pope Francis in correcting his Jesuit Order's error demonstrates keeping or allowing inseparability and qualitative equality of procreation and union in marriage whether vowed to Christ of consecrated celibacy such as of the Jesuit, Pope Francis, or vowed to God as of consecrated male female couples. Benedictine practice in Downside Abbey, UK, in education in sexuality and true love within the family is evident in Fr Martin Salmon osb's letter to me, dated 30 October 1994, practicing the cardinal virtue of "Prudence" (CCC, 1806) by pointing out the inseparability and equality in quantity and quality of consecrated celibate marriage vowed in Christ "dispensable by man" and male female marriage vowed in God "dispensable only by God". This exercise of prudence corrected Jesuit injustice, lack of humility and intellectual bias in St Ignatius of Loyola's "Rules for Thinking about the Church" in his "Spiritual Exercises", n.356 (translator Louis J. Puhl sj, Newman Press, 1951) that "matrimony ought not be praised as highly as religious life, virginity and continency". This correction is evident in a Jesuit, Pope Francis', simultaneous authorisations c. 10 June 2021 with absolute power of applications with 100% accuracy by his Vatican State Secretariat of State of observation measurement terms for: (a) ensuring procreation charity donation gifts by helpers of the family; (b) insuring need of union of identities of family members in the cases respectively of: 1. alleged embezzlement by Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others (presently been heard in the Vatican State civil court); 2. alleged unacceptable risk of fraud by passing of the "Zan" anti-homophobia bill before the Italian Parliament (defeated in early November 2021).
One correction - Catholicism is NOT the largest Christian denomination, it is the ONLY Christian church in the world. The Protestant religion is divided into tens of thousands of different denominations, all completely apart from the Body of Christ. As someone who converted out of the Protestant religion, we need to be very clear in our words because it matters if we want our brothers and sisters to come to Christ.
Family home shepherding from union is masqueraded as “Catholic Homesteading” Brian Sheard’s “evangelism by procreation”. It is “the family [home that] can and must require from … [its helpers their] respect for those rights [they consider to be their rights] which in saving the family, will save society itself” (Pope St John Paul 2's Exhortation CL, 1988, 40), which “rights” are simultaneously: 1. to have “require[d of them this] … respect” (CL, 40); 2. “to make the family aware of its identity … and its role …” (CL, 40). Pope Francis is a reference point, through both advice and example, of valid and proper marriage in his simultaneous authorisation c. 10 June 2021 with an absolute power of his Vatican State Secretariat of State’s applications with 100% accuracy of observation measurement terms for requiring this respect by ensuring protection from embezzlement procreation gift charity donations within the family by Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others and insuring protection from unacceptable risk of fraud family member identities’ union by the Italian Parliament passing the “Zan” anti-homophobia bill.
I see the coat of arms of the Pius X society. Church Militant revealed the rampant sex-abuse taking place in that society and the zealous cover-up. The last thing they were concerned about were the victims. I am a traditionalist too but being traditionalist doesnt make you holy if it is only ritualistic because it con be perverted and abused as an instrument of undeserved authority.
Although Thomas Aquinas was right about a lot of things, one of the things he is definitely wrong about after studying artificial intelligence and philosophy is that saying that animals don't have rational souls that aren't material is that it equates spiritual essence to physical matter. However essence is not material making that a false statement. It is also clearly evident after knowing the limitations of artificial intelligence that animals are capable of things not possible even with the most advanced ai running on supercomputers the size of office building with hundreds kf times more processing power and memory than an animal's brain, even the most intelligent animals like dogs and dolphins. Animals unlike artificial intelligence running on computational hardware are highly adaptable which requires real intelligence and not simple processes generated from a fixed set of instructions compiled or interpreted to machine code. There is also no morality when it comes to the treatment of animals if they all meet the same fate and don't posses real sentience because at that point they really are no different from from mass produced organic physical hardware which they are not. And I really don't think Scholasticism did the right thing relying so much on Aristotle who wasn't even a Christian but a pagan for our theology.
Just bought 14 acres and starting to build a house to start our Catholic homesteading journey. Thanks be to God!
Wow! Godbless your enterprise!
Fantastic! Enjoy and God be with you.
You would be looking at a couple of million pounds even in a remote part of England. Most land is sold as a residential development opportunity.
We have started this in the last year too!
Same!! So glad so many people are taking this seriously!!!
I would love a second interview: More about practical life on a homestead: The gardening dimension, homeschooling, homesteading community, etc.
Check out his membership videos or his work with Justin Rhodes
For those who just can’t leave. You don’t have to go out and buy acres of land. I’ve been homesteading for 13 years now. We live in an old neighborhood on a 1/2 acre lot. We have chicken, goats and a very large gardens. Nobody is going to chase me out of a place I was born and raised. We can’t keep running, they need to leave. Maryland has been a Catholic state from the beginning. We are 25 minutes from a fssp parish.
Well. I haven't watched this yet, but my heart skipped a beat when I read the title. I have been feeling a deep longing for a different lifestyle, closer to homesteading, and I have just finished praying about it.
It’s the best thing we ever did. Content and simple life.
Completely agree, I'm just starting my life and trying to have Our Lord and the Land at it's foundation. You're not alone in your longing.

There’s a really good book (many, actually) on small homesteading titled A Very Small Farm by William Paul Winchester. He bought 20 acres and created a farm for himself in the 90’s.
Thank you, Brian, for correcting the common misconception about The Benedict Option. It is NOT about retreating or hiding from the world.
You can think of it this way: if you were being attacked by a rifle squad - bullets flying, artillery shells dropping all around you, it would be incredibly negligent to allow your 4 yr old to go outside and play as if nothing is wrong.
Great interview. We're Catholic homesteaders with 8 kids and a full time job (plus a few side-gigs :)), and love this authentic life. Everything you guys discussed resonated. Thanks!
I look forward to a similar lifestyle. Hope you can share your journey one day! God bless you and your family!
Scrolling through YT I happened to see this and thought “That looks like the guy from our FSSP parish who moved here from WA state.” And it was!
Can't believe how similar my situation is to Brandon's as he was describing at the 1:01:55 mark. I'm in Washington state on an island, I attend an FSSP parish with a two hour drive both ways, and I am moving to an acre of land in Idaho that will be 15 minutes from an FSSP parish to pursue a homesteading lifestyle and a thriving Catholic community.
Marvellous! Enjoy and God be with you.
Our family moved from the Boston area where we had an hour and a half each way to an FSSP parish to Texas where it’s only about 15 minutes and we can Homestead. This is happening all over the country 🙏🏼
@@verum-in-omnibus1035 where in Texas? Currently in SoCal and will be moving to Texas. We’re looking at DFW area. Found a few parishes but I’m unfamiliar with FSSP and only heard of it in a few videos I’ve stumbled across. I haven’t done my due diligence yet to have an opinion if that’s something we want to join (FSSP) but am open to learning more. If you are willing to share please do.
Hey John, love to get in contact.
st joan of arc? thats where we used to go
If memory serves, there was a regular column by a Catholic homesteader for the excellent but short-lived Catholic magazine called "Caelum et Terra." Those columns would be worth compiling into an e-book for distribution to a new generation.

I am considering chickens also…glad to hear you are raising them in the suburbs. Do you have a huge “learning curve”? God bless! 🥚
Northern Kentucky/southern Ohio has every group of Traditional Catholics/schools/home school groups available. (SSPX, FSSP, ICKSP, Sede groups, ...etc.). Depending on how the Traditional Mass is suppressed in the future, there are a lot of options close. Bourbon too!
Gosh, I just love how clearly he is articulating his thought process here in the beginning! We are converting as a family to orthodoxy and whereas I never really saw myself as a protestant, and I don’t really have a bone to pick with any of it, I am seeing that these logical fallacies were there all along. Thank you so much - this is very confirming.
Was following this guy on instagram because I was super intrigued by what he was doing. I didn’t realize he was a Catholic. So cool!
With my wife we're actively looking to move to the country and start a homestead. Our biggest issue is to find something near a good, active Catholic Church.
Have you looked into Northeast Oklahoma? Northwest Arkansas?
Anthony Stein ( great trad catholic I) lives in Oklahoma I think too! Love his conversion story! Our blessed mother protect him and guide him.
Stine, I think, not Stein.
I'm so glad you had him on your show!! I've seen him through the homestead community and could tell almos immediately that he was Catholic ❤️
No kidding right? It’s a kind of “Cay-dar.”
I followed my mom to St. George Utah after my father's passing in 2011 and on my mom's birthday. 2018 I was gently pushed or guided back to the Uintah Basin. We live the country life, always have. This New Start has damaged my health, so I can't do much. I do have my kids and mom all under 2 roofs, but 1 house...😆
My neighbor and I are doing the best we can. It's not easy learning more of the pioneer ways in hopes of being prosperous, a whole Lot'ta HOPE goes into it...and a Lot'ta PRAYERS 🥰
I would love to be part of this too! Discerned with the Concord NH Carmelites and mowed lawns for 48 years...I am 63 yet still desires to "beautify" the world in which we've been given - to pray the Litany n actively live out my Catholic Faith, glorifying Our Lord, Father n Creator.✝️
Very much like this! I have 3 of my adult children living on our large property and hope to have the rest of my family to join us someday. 1 or 2 milk cow feeds all of us (9 +) chickens, horses... unfortunately they have all left the faith, but Jesus reveals to Barnabas in the Precious blood booklet, 'I will convert them before the great tribulation '!
The intellectual level of meatsmiths is pretty high these days ;) I really enjoyed this discussion!
I agree, I am a convert too and the rosary is very important to me! I say the rosary everyday sometimes twice a day!
I am originally from California, a convert from the Protestant religion who is now a traditional Catholic living in the south and working on my major knowledge gap with homesteading!
Thank you for this interview and may God bless you both and everyone who is trying to live off the land God created in glory 🥒🤗🙏🏼
By far the most fascinating conversation I’ve heard in a very long time! Music to my ears. God bless you both and your families.
Man, that was awesome! Thank you Brian and Brandon!
This was such an amazing discussion. Brandon really knows his stuff. Very inspiring for me as a 25-year-old trying to figure out what I want my family to look like when I and my wife have children.
Thank you for aticulating this so much for me. This had been the pattern of Christian life for many centuries before the Industrial Revolution. I have been able to contemplate for some time now that there is something very noble in having to grow your own food and having to feed yourself and others with it. It is biblical and several passages seem to romanticize agriculture for me. The verses from Sirach 40:17-23 seem to illustrate nicely what you're talking about here. Land, crops, cattle, labor, wife and raising children.
I have been raised in a suburban setting. My dad came from a family of butchers from the city and my mom was from a farming family who died when I was so young that she did not have time to pass to me what she knew in cultivating the land. I have inherited some sizeable agricultural land that our tenants use. I'm currently a shopkeeper in our small family business. I have spent most of my life in the suburbs as an introvert and is enjoying the convenience as you would say that came along. I too have struggles with sin and my novus ordo parish is not nourishing me on a personal level, partly due to me being an introvert and because we are missing something deeply spiritual there. We don't have TLM in our country so that's not an option. I am 29 years old and I'm not married. Never dated anyone. Life is very sad. For anyone out there, what would be your advice to me? Thank you.
@Ramir Reyes Pray the Rosary daily is youbarw struggling w sin pray the 4 rosaries a day...To learn more go to gabi after hours he has great videos to help you understand our faith and how devotion to Mary helps us make leap and bounds in the walk to Jesus. Be the light of Christ to those you come in contact with everyday, that they live better than how they came to you..A smile , a good morning, .a blessing......Blessings to you brother in Christ🙏
Animals living on the small Farm do not live in fear. They are happy, beloved parts of the farm and they are very well treated. In the natural state they live in an almost constant state of fear. No medicine, no treats, no protection, no honor.
Delighted to find this video, I have watched and enjoyed several of Brandon's videos on the humane harvesting and processing of farm animals. But, I didn't know he was also Catholic. Thank you
Amazing. I'm only 29 minutes in and you and Brandon are conversing like old friends. Well done.
I think I recognize your profile name from a discussion we both had about Protestantism on a video about Jordan Peterson. A couple months later I told you that I was going to convert and that our conversation was the starting point for me 'to clear this reformation question once in for all'. I'll have my confirmation this Pentecost and had my first Holy Communion at the Easter vigil.
I'm remembering you from time to time. :)
@@intedominesperavi6036 Great to hear from you again. I recall our conversation. Thank you for letting me know. By the grace of God, and your cooperation with it I'm humbled to hear about your journey that will continue for many Pentecosts to come. I'll keep you in my prayers and appreciate yours. Hold on tight because it's only going to become more challenging!
@@p.doetsch6209 It's definitely going to become more tight! I'm from Germany.
I wanted to live this homesteading lifestyle my whole life, but it didn’t happen. Yet now, in my later years, it looks like it may because of living in conjunction with younger generation family. Makes me in awe of God’s wonderful providence.
I wish there was a website for Catholics who want to do homesteading or want to build up intentional communities to connect with online, like Ave Maria's throughout the country
Same!
Small homes, community building for shared cooking- living, community cows, sheep, horse chickens, community and individual gardens, community orchards. Shared chores.
And a prayer chapel.
Glory to Jesus Christ! Getting ready to start a little homestead in South Central Pennsylvania. It’s been a dream for many years. God is good
It just occurred to me: Purgatory is that place “where justice and mercy kiss.”
Beautiful.
God bless the society! As well as this Channel and the guest
This is one of the better interviews I've seen in a long time.
Homesteading farming is very Catholic! We have started on this journey. I have seen traditional cath fb pages sharing property listings for sale in areas that have tlm and a strong cath community, unfortunately nothing like that near where we are, but building catholic communities is essential, I worry whom my children can marry..
If I might also recommend Townsends interview with Rory Graves on his book "Durable Trades ", it's kind of preppy, but the meat of the book is practical explanation of various trades that have stood the test of the Industrial Revolution.
What a great guest. Thank you for a very interesting video.
Thank you! It’s the first time I hear an American saying that the best prosciutto is from Spain... as a Spanish person, yes it’s true, but in the US I usually hear people praise Italian prosciutto, that even though it’s good it’s completely different from the Spanish (Jamón ibérico de bellota 😋😋😋)
Wow! I was just introduced to Brandon on Homesteading Family a few days ago, and now here is on your channel. Very cool discussion.
We need a part II to this episode. Please, if possible, brig him back on.
I wish I was younger as this a great idea of living in rural communities. This be done in a similar way that other faith communities have done. Just as there was a trend toward living in the cities 100 years ago, maybe we will see the opposite trend really happening as the liberal cities become a nightmare.
I've been seriously considering doing this, but it's so very difficult to get started and to master these skills.
#growfoodnotlawns start where you are
you don't have to be a master to begin. You just need to learn enough to give it a fair shot.
Start where you are. Gardening if you have the space. Cooking from scratch. This year we got a small backyard flock of chickens for the first time. We're only on a small suburban plot and only really have the room for 6. I've never raised chickens. I've butchered a store bought bird only twice, and I did a terrible job and it took way longer than it needed to, and it already had the innards removed. So that's where I'm practicing now. When I've gotten proficient in that I'll move on to something else. Like they said earlier in the video, there's a lot of traditions that we've been deprived of, and unless we do the work to reclaim them, our children will be deprived of them as well
Oh, wow. I really appreciated this discussion. Thank you.
Love hearing his conversion story!
I've been thinking about this for the past few days. Providential!
Mr.Holdsworth, would you be so kind and provide your guest's link in the show notes?
I sincerely enjoyed this very eye-opening, encouraging, & theologically sound discussion. Thank you for your work and time put into editing & posting.
May God The Father grant you and your beautiful family grace in living more in tune with the order of creation & its creatures!
Viva Christo Rey! Baruch Haba B'Shem Adonai!
If others are actually serious about this, those of us who would actually be interested in inaugurating such a venture ought to get organized.
Amazing talk!
Miller, Smith, Wright, Thatcher, Shepherd, Mason, Taylor, Wheeler, Weaver, Butcher, Wagner, Clark, Potter - feel free to add to the list if trades names. This is fun!
Brilliant and enlightening.
Great interview
God Bless the mission.🙏🏽
I love the Saintmaker planner!
Excelent vid!
Well, that was fascinating.
You guys have a really good back and forth and it was really interesting..very informative, educative and drew me in..you guys should do some more videos together. God bless Mary protect

I’ve been wanting to start a catholic ‘eco’ community for 20 years.. my background is in architecture/community planning.. and grew up on a ‘hobby farm’ and in 4-h.
I’m in Kansas.
Anyone else interested in a eco community based on ‘homesteading’ lifestyle as a small community, in the middle of the US?
This was great! Ive been killing my animals wrong, separatng them away from the rest and causing distress. Thank you so much for all the great details.
Mr. Sheard - Do you have particular Catholic prayers before, during, and after slaughtering? This podcast was so amazing and helpful for my kids and I who are actively searching for our small homestead right now.
Very Interesting
You asked at the beginning about surnames according to profession, Mr. Sheard gave you the German name. I, too, don't know what Butcher would be as a surname in English, but my last name Boucher, is butcher in French. So, the profession name for butcher is out there.
My next door neighbor’s surname is Butcher.
Homesteading in the age of democrat tyranny and deep state corruption makes more sense than it ever has.
And I see now in suburbia homesteading is catching on not just with the poors but the elites too. That is how dire times are becoming.
I think that homesteading is a great aspiration. Sure many of us pass through seasons were we must wander and travel. But once we start putting down roots it is so sensible.
I liked the Homesteading bit. But the first part made me continuously say to myself, "Tell me you haven't read Lutheran Dogma without telling me you haven't read Lutheran Dogma."
I know ppl with the last name Butcher. One was a principal at the Catholic school.
#growfoodnotlawns
Does anyone know of a Catholic van life community? Many Van lifers transition to homesteading after traveling the country in search of land to purchase.
I would love for Brandon and his wife to give us a tour of their lovely home. Maybe a you tube channel? I'll make a note to listen to the podcast.
I gave my book of the Rosary by St Louis de Montfort away to a gentleman. It came back to me through other means. I'm so glad you gentlemen came to the Church. Welcome! God bless you both and your families! Question: Is it feasible to start homesteading when you are old and have health issues? I am currently gardening and canning/preserving our food, but cannot afford pastured or healthier meat. My family has no interest in homesteading but I want to move to the country to raise our own but my husband says a move would kill him and I think a healthier lifestyle might heal him. I pray daily that they will come around to this way of thinking. Please offer some rosaries for us, and other families like us. I believe in the power of prayer and Our Lady's help. The Eucharist: we eat what it becomes(the body of Christ) and we become what we eat(the body of Christ).
My grandparents were farmers, and both of my grandfathers also held other jobs. One was a mailman, the other worked construction and did odd jobs for people. That's how they housed, fed, and clothed their 15 and 8 children respectively.
My parents moved to the city, so the only farming I got to know was from visiting my grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-aunts and uncles. I remember going off meat for a time after the first time I saw headless hogs hung to drain the blood. I guess I was about 5 years old. That phase didn't last long, because bacon tastes so good.
When my daughter was 5, my Grandpa invited me to bring the kids to enjoy fresh pork chops. He had been raising two pigs, and had just butchered one. The other was still fattening up. I wanted my kids to know where food really comes from, so I asked Grandpa to educate them. My son was only 3, but my daughter was old enough to understand. Grandpa first took us to the pig shed to meet the one that was still fattening. My kids were enamored with the pig, just like it was a puppy or kitten. I wasn't sure how my daughter would react to eating the pig's brother, but we did explain it to her before Grandpa served up the chops. It didn't faze her. She was a very moderate eater, not finicky, but it didn't take much to fill her up. At home, she might eat part of a pork chop. Yet she ate three chops that day, fully knowing where it came from. When she finished, she exclaimed, "Mmmm Grandpa, that pig tasted so good! When you kill your other pig, can we come and eat him too?"
Today she's a mom, and she and her husband buy a beef steer every year. They're city dwellers, but they buy from a beef farmer who raises the animals and butchers them for his customers. My daughter made sure to educate her sons, taking them to meet their steer as he grows, and at least once to observe the killing and butchering.
Terry Butcher was captain of the England football team in the eighties.
This was an interesting conversation. However, I think there was an overreach in the criticism of the "industrial system". Obviously there are massive benefits that arise from the efficiencies of the current system, which, for example, the poorer parts of society are particular beneficiaries. That doesn't mean there aren't downsides of this approach and also benefits of a homesteading approach. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater intellectually.
I agree. I personally found him very opinionated, which was sad to me. There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and he seems to dismiss as un-enlightened everyone who’s not a homesteader but rather has a specialized profession, or lives in a city, or a suburb, which is ridiculous. I’m a Catholic who lives in the country with my husband and three teenage children but I’m not a homesteader, and that’s fine. My eldest wants to go into criminal justice, my middle wants to be a pediatric nurse practitioner, and my youngest wants to go into aeronautical engineering. So much to offer humanity in the glory of God.
Your family sounds very grounded; and I agree but it sounds like many of these “Catholic Homesteaders” is they lived in areas that are so contraindicated from true love of God. I live right outside of Philadelphia and the culture is “depraved” yet I know so many locally great Catholics. I pray my 5 children can sustain themselves because they aren’t practicing now.
Behold the the rise of the Catholic Amish!
I’d join that type living!
This morning on my drive to work I was thinking it’d be nice to have a horse and buggy to get around in a smaller community.
Husband and I are looking for property to accommodate chickens, cows, pigs and a horse or two. Orchards and a garden.
Amen 🙏
Hmmm, I think it is a bit strange to downplay the sentience of animals. There are many animals who show complex communication with their own or other species. Gorillaz can even learn complex sign language, that they avidly use to express their thoughts, feelings and needs. That is not instinct. They have incredibly complex hierarchies within their tribes. No, animals are not as self-aware as we are. But they are aware, more so than is being explained by Brian. Many animals remember humans they encountered decades later, with great affection or hate. Acceptance of death, it is not that simple. Trust is not to be mistaken as acceptance.
"Gorillaz can even learn complex sign language" No they haven't. This has never been observed. There's literally no evidence that any material living thing has rational capabilities.
All life ends at some point. Nothing negative about humanly ending a life and using it in a useful way (food). Slaughtering animals existed in biblical history..
We so much want to do this, or something very close to it (Benedict Option type life), but it seems very expensive. My parents live in the country and have attempted to start a farm. The start up costs have been so high and the return is so low that they have given up making it work. What are some tips to making this lifestyle financially stable?
Farm auctions.. buy used equipment?
And budget.
Most of my extended family is on farms in the midwest. I grew up on a tree farm in Georgia. This is nice, but not fair to those born after 1980 since land is so pricey and getting bought by foreigners and investors, so millennials don't qualify! I grew up in a family of 9. So any inheritance from my parents would be split up by 9, so it won't be enough to afford a homestead!! I am working on sewing, being a seamstress and my husband is a lab tech, so a chemistry major/pre med. What's some options that younger generations can do? We just do patio/small gardening etc!! We are still trying for our first baby (I'm 36, hubby is 42) so no dream large family!! 😢
Like he mentioned, he started out with 2 acres. Todays modern farms are 160 acres or bigger and are mostly monoculture. To have family's close together, each family producing what they can, works so well
@@lynbsker1968 but the property was bought awhile ago when prices were still lower. Most couples are getting outbid for property here in the states!! Everyone's savings are low with rising costs on literally everything!! I understand the concept, but growing up on a farm myself, it's not perfect either!
Small communities all over need lab techs. And there are still small old homesteads for kind of reasonable prices.
Also looking. Usually plots are larger than what we want. May buy larger and split something?
We humanely and naturally raise meat chickens once a year. We treat them well and with respect and when the moment comes we make it as painless as possible thanking God for. Three years ago I would have said no way, now I thank God that I have seen how this can be a Godly thing.
Edit: free range organic chicken is the best meat we have ever eaten. And it is sustainable.
Every time I throw my radish and beet tops into the compost pile (yes I do eat many of the greens) I’m thinking, “chickens and pigs would love this stuff….”
@@rosezingleman5007 we no longer have any leftovers. The only thing we don’t toss in the pile is citrus fruit because it affects the absorption of calcium needed for egg laying and onions because the eggs can taste weird if the chickens eat too much of that.
Who says that the industrial food system is feeding people and everyone has enough? Such a statement by Brian Holdsworth reveals an utter disconnect with how life actually exists at the sub-upper-middle-class echelon of society, where, just in a lightly populated area like Southern Illinois, literally thousands of school children every week need donated packs of popcorn and crackers to get through the weekend because their own family can't feed them.
Let’s go Brandon
Oh, one more inconvenience in homesteading. If you are far out in the country, you’ll never be close enough to a Latin Mass to drive in on a weekly basis.
We’ve never farmed but we did rent a cabin a a very remote part of Montana for 2 years and the closest Latin Mass was about 4 hrs away by car.
St Mary’s KS is a Latin mass community. Not sure which Latin type.. but it’s a smaller city / large town in a rural area.
My smallish town has a priest who does Latin mass on Saturdays. And has a respectful NO mass on the other days.
There are good small towns with Latin mass. Just have to look harder to find them.
Somebody said that you spend half your life running away from home and the other half trying to get back. I grew up on a small family farm where we grew and butchered everything we ate: we spent almost three quarters of our waking hours doing so and ate like kings as a result. As a boy I disliked the blood and gore of butchering which is part of the reason I fled the farm the other part is that I wanted to earn big bucks working in the trades. After years of being treated as just another number by companies both large and small, a small farm with a few pigs, a few chickens, a few cattle and a milk cow is looking pretty good.
A word of caution however: sin thrives in isolation and in the isolation of those farms I grew up amongst, there were abuses which went on that Hell wouldn't have and that's not much of an exaggeration. Those who worship nature all live in the city and we should not romanticize the reality of farm life. Farm life is hard, dirty, with lots of bugs, and you can kiss goodbye any vacations. You must then humble yourself to God's Providence, be at the mercy of the elements and to take your enjoyment from the little things in life.
Brian, your co-presenter, Brandon Sheard's, proposal or assertion: "Evangelism by procreation", requires union as union requires procreation in covenant, non-presumed reciprocity.
Pope Francis in correcting his Jesuit Order's error demonstrates keeping or allowing inseparability and qualitative equality of procreation and union in marriage whether vowed to Christ of consecrated celibacy such as of the Jesuit, Pope Francis, or vowed to God as of consecrated male female couples.
Benedictine practice in Downside Abbey, UK, in education in sexuality and true love within the family is evident in Fr Martin Salmon osb's letter to me, dated 30 October 1994, practicing the cardinal virtue of "Prudence" (CCC, 1806) by pointing out the inseparability and equality in quantity and quality of consecrated celibate marriage vowed in Christ "dispensable by man" and male female marriage vowed in God "dispensable only by God".
This exercise of prudence corrected Jesuit injustice, lack of humility and intellectual bias in St Ignatius of Loyola's "Rules for Thinking about the Church" in his "Spiritual Exercises", n.356 (translator Louis J. Puhl sj, Newman Press, 1951) that "matrimony ought not be praised as highly as religious life, virginity and continency".
This correction is evident in a Jesuit, Pope Francis', simultaneous authorisations c. 10 June 2021 with absolute power of applications with 100% accuracy by his Vatican State Secretariat of State of observation measurement terms for:
(a) ensuring procreation charity donation gifts by helpers of the family;
(b) insuring need of union of identities of family members
in the cases respectively of:
1. alleged embezzlement by Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others (presently been heard in the Vatican State civil court);
2. alleged unacceptable risk of fraud by passing of the "Zan" anti-homophobia bill before the Italian Parliament (defeated in early November 2021).
Wonder conversation. But where does he get such great coats? !
“Humanely slaughter them.” I know, I know-it just struck me funny.
Well, you're Not OFF by much...the world fell for it...🙄
I helped slaughter chickens when I was 5. It make praying before meals more meaningful.
catholic homesteading family in saskatchewan. Any canadians?
Sheep slaughtering sounds similar to old testament sacrifice of sheep.
Gods truths are always perfect.
One correction - Catholicism is NOT the largest Christian denomination, it is the ONLY Christian church in the world.
The Protestant religion is divided into tens of thousands of different denominations, all completely apart from the Body of Christ. As someone who converted out of the Protestant religion, we need to be very clear in our words because it matters if we want our brothers and sisters to come to Christ.
How do you define "Christian" and what is it about the non-Catholics who call themselves such that makes it a misnomer?
All I want from the modern world in my hypothetical farm house is my dishwasher and washer and dryer - ;)
Do you pray a prayer before to kill an animal.
Family home shepherding from union is masqueraded as “Catholic Homesteading” Brian Sheard’s “evangelism by procreation”.
It is “the family [home that] can and must require from … [its helpers their] respect for those rights [they consider to be their rights] which in saving the family, will save society itself” (Pope St John Paul 2's Exhortation CL, 1988, 40), which “rights” are simultaneously:
1. to have “require[d of them this] … respect” (CL, 40);
2. “to make the family aware of its identity … and its role …” (CL, 40).
Pope Francis is a reference point, through both advice and example, of valid and proper marriage in his simultaneous authorisation c. 10 June 2021 with an absolute power of his Vatican State Secretariat of State’s applications with 100% accuracy of observation measurement terms for requiring this respect by ensuring protection from embezzlement procreation gift charity donations within the family by Cardinal Angelo Becciu and nine others and insuring protection from unacceptable risk of fraud family member identities’ union by the Italian Parliament passing the “Zan” anti-homophobia bill.
John McArthur made me a better Catholic too😆❤🙏
I see the coat of arms of the Pius X society. Church Militant revealed the rampant sex-abuse taking place in that society and the zealous cover-up. The last thing they were concerned about were the victims. I am a traditionalist too but being traditionalist doesnt make you holy if it is only ritualistic because it con be perverted and abused as an instrument of undeserved authority.
CM is in the John Birch biz these days. Everything can be perverted if someone has bad intentions.
Give it a rest.
That’s the Vendee coat of arms
@@TheFarmsteadMeatsmith I thought it was the SSPX flag too. It's really cool that you gave that flag.
Well, we're those accusstions true? Did CM informed authorities? Were there trials? Were there sentences?
Ah ah utrique fidelis in the back ! Why that ?
A fríen of fine is Mary “Butcher”.
Although Thomas Aquinas was right about a lot of things, one of the things he is definitely wrong about after studying artificial intelligence and philosophy is that saying that animals don't have rational souls that aren't material is that it equates spiritual essence to physical matter. However essence is not material making that a false statement. It is also clearly evident after knowing the limitations of artificial intelligence that animals are capable of things not possible even with the most advanced ai running on supercomputers the size of office building with hundreds kf times more processing power and memory than an animal's brain, even the most intelligent animals like dogs and dolphins. Animals unlike artificial intelligence running on computational hardware are highly adaptable which requires real intelligence and not simple processes generated from a fixed set of instructions compiled or interpreted to machine code. There is also no morality when it comes to the treatment of animals if they all meet the same fate and don't posses real sentience because at that point they really are no different from from mass produced organic physical hardware which they are not. And I really don't think Scholasticism did the right thing relying so much on Aristotle who wasn't even a Christian but a pagan for our theology.
Homesteading is the way things were until the rise of the suburban neighborhoods.
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich said Our Lord butchered the pascal lamb himself.
How does she know?
