The pencils... Think of a modern day hobby or craft that requires any type of instruments or tools or product that you NEED to do it... The drawing pencils would've been a huge thing for her and her art. *Hair* Is nothing sacred anymore? The time period in which the story was written (and throughout much of history) a woman's (long) hair was her crowning glory! It would've been devastating for her to cut it. 🤔 Many people living in those times are likely rolling in their graves seeing all of the intentionally bald women today.

Thank you

So as Catholics, should we go watch this movie or not?

Fluff you dickheads , using deception to attract visitors, you should be reported to YT

Suggestion for an audiobook: Solzhenitsyn's TWO HUNDRED YEARS TOGETHER (in English).

Still excellent. Most of the early Father's I've heard of. But this one is elusive.

Thank-you for the historical readings. The music is also a treat.

I can't get anyone to see that Origen and Clement were Gnostics. Clement flat out calls his teaching gnosticism hundreds of times in his Stromata, and Origen calls Jesus "The Demiurge" in his commentary on John. People just do not want to see.

Good program! Thanks 🙏

Pray for us Bernadette❤

Wonderful Priest+ IQ off the scale yet humble

Bergoglio is a perfect definition of a false prophet next to Muhammad etc etc etc

In Church history there has always been this weird schizophrenia: the idea of hhe massa damnata vs. the idea of Romans 5 or St. John Chrysostom's famous Easter sermon. God the cosmic terror vs. God who leaves the 99 to find the 1. I have no idea how these two sides can be reconciled. One idea makes the universe benevolent and the other turns it into a sick joke, the joke being on us.

Thanks, very well done. It's not really bashing one vs. the other, but a nice intellectual discussion of the topics...I'm glad that people are interested enough in this that they think about the differences between the two and how they help them celebrate the liturgy. God Bless! GO TO MASS whichever version you attend!

My father was an Episcopal priest and theologian. His Christmas sermons covered the traditional subjects, but I noticed in my teens that he didn't devote one to St. Joseph. I suggested a Josephcentric sermon and he told me that he didn't have enough source material for a sermon about him.

John Paul THE GREAT! Love his explaining human reality through INTEGRATING reason AND Faith! The wings to enable flying! Full living is NOT about FEELINGS!

Is the channel just for Catholics ,can I have a swatch though I'm Protestant 😂.

The analogy on the eternality of the Father and Jesus can be likened to how Eve was brought forth or came about. We know that Eve was brought forth or taken from a rib of Adam and God made the rib a woman.. Eve, being once a rib or one of the ribs of Adam, can be or is as old as Adam ( logic: your head is as old as your eyes, hands, or in the whole body), although Eve had come out later or after Adam existed. In like manner, the word of God (Jesus) is an integral of the Father's being ( who was at the bosom of the Father), that is why, Jesus is co eternal or the same eternality of the Father just like Eve who had the same age of Adam. The Word was later on brought Forth ( begotten) before the works of old/ creation. That is why he was called as the first born, meaning - was ahead among created beings because all things created are created thru Jesus ( the Word).

I’m Roman Catholic and the Russian Orthodox Church has apparitions of the Virgin Mary! Saints that She visited with! St Seraphim of Sarov for one. 1200’s

Thank you.

My hero.

Thank you. It is true that the best gift from God is not health, beauty or wealth, but Salvation. I pray that from now onwards , I happily unite my suffering to Jesus. God's will be done, always. I learn, to surrender all to God's will.

I’m 38 cradle Catholic. I have only heard the Roman Canon in my local Novus Ordo Mass 3 times in my lifetime.

This man is brilliant! Clear and simple communication with a gentle voice, ahh. Thank you

Thank you for an excellent talk.

💯

St Bernadette please pray for us amen 🙏

Thank you for a explanation

The Holy See ❤

One of the best so far ❤

It’s my favourite Catholic channel/page! Underrated, yet amazing! Keep it up with great work!

Wait a minute, why is my book different from this. It’s not majorly different by the wording and order of wordings abut dif

"Judiazer" is a loaded term... it kept popping up in the Inquisition readings. You are right that there were factions with factions so to simplify the discussions, scholars got (lazy?) and sometimes chose one representative they wanted to argue as if it represented everyone. Once I noticed... even made the mistake of assuming Scottland and Ireland were the same thing... 300 years after Scottland was created! Weird.

Are you sure that the early fathers did not use philosophy? It certainly seems to me they did, but that it is subject to scripture, as is proper. Certainly Augustine uses philosophy. I am not sure the dividing line was that sharp.

Many people consider "Out of the Past" to be the zenith of film noir. I'm not sure what it has to do with Catholicism. Robert Mitchum smokes in almost every scene. Great acting, great directing all the way around. B&W, with shady nighttime shenanigans, as well as stark views of rural, natural California. The populace has always had a noir element. However, after the horrors of WWll, people felt much less inhibited about expressing it, in life and in art. It has gotten worse with deindustrialization and less government and less organized religion as foundational elements. Now everyone is an unmoored rugged individual fighting for consumer goods in an ownership society. Times were better when we could just watch Kirk Douglas doing bad things at the movies.

Is it not the duty of all Catholics to be as Christ, to act as Christ to the other, and thus form the Invisible Church? We form the body of Christ through the Eucharist, in unity with Jesus and each other. At the end of Mass, we are dismissed to be as Christ in ameliorating suffering without distinction. Could not a non-member of the church or even an atheist be part of the Invisible Church through acts of goodwil?

On subjective value I'd describe it as "subjective means it varies with the subject". The subject of analysis is the person making consumption decisions for himself/herself, or typically, for a household.

Clement's letter speaks to the succession of the Overseers, or bishops of local congregations -- not of a succession of 'popes'. In addition, in 1 Clement 32:4 he say: "And so we, having been called through His will in Christ, are not justified through ourselves or through our own wisdom or understanding or piety or works which we wrought in holiness of heart, but through faith, whereby the Almighty God justified all men that have been from the beginning; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen." So Clement clearly stated that we are justified through faith, not by "piety or works which we wrought in holiness of heart" -- in direct opposition to the Roman Catholic Church teaching that we are saved by a combination of faith and works.

I related to the part of false oracles as these truly are demonic and are the perverted spirits that cause the dionysian mysteries. Aka elusinian mysteries, and John in the book of Revelation reveals this as the works of the Nicolaitans the thing that Jesus hates. Many are percieving this phenomena to be the Holy Spirit. These demons are very present in alchemy, and in the freemasonic rituals.

The vision was symbolism.. The unclean things represented Gentiles. The vision was to tell Peter it's ok for a Jew and non-Jew to eat together if they are of one accord.

I think the spiritual life blossoms when understanding our relationship to God is not one of equal give and take. It is one of loving receptivity and response which is itself a gift. Our acts are real, but we never take spiritual initiative. The canons of the council of orange 529 make this so clear. To realize our prayer and desire is a response to a love that goes before us is a consolation. We would not love nor choose Him had he not loved us and infused this love into us and touched our souls. It's interesting because this shows the intersection of feminism and pelagianism. The wrong idea that grace is something we can match with nature and collaborate equally with it is similar to the feminist usurpations of the role of the masculine and the rejection of femininity as exemplified by Our Lady. She who is full of grace is the model of abandonment to the advances of grace. She is truly feminine. Every soul must imitate our Lady's fiat and truly admit itself the bride of the divine bridegroom.

Please include the occasional female guest to blunt the male egos on display.

I had been trying to figure out if Boethius was a saint or not since I first heard of the Consolation of Philosophy about a year back.

Longtime listener here. Thanks for all your hard work putting together these podcast episodes. Been a cinephile long before I started listening to you guys but it’s always great to hear your perspective on cinematic masterpieces like “The Tree of Life” (one of my all-time favourite films). At the urging of our parish priest, I actually recently started an initiative in our parish here in Vancouver (or Richmond, BC, more accurately) where we would screen a movie every month, followed by discussions after the screening. The first movies I showed were “Toy Story 3” and “It’s a Wonderful Life”, and they both had decent turnouts and generated lively discussions. We’ll be watching “Of Gods and Men” in January. I’m trying to start with films that are a bit more accessible to mainstream audiences, before gradually easing them into stuff from Ozu, Kubrick, S. Ray, etc. I’m also a big Star Wars fan (and a *huge* defender of the prequels, which are an absolute masterclass in pure filmmaking), so I’ll definitely find some way to insert that into this event 😅 Unrelated to this episode, but I also had a question. I’ve known about the Vatican Film List for a long time (read Steven Greydanus’ article when I was still in high school, and have seen 41 of the 45 films in the list). However, the only sources I can find for the list are secondary sources - eg, Steven Greydanus’ article, your podcast, Word on Fire’s “Popcorn with the Pope”, etc. Do you know if the primary source (ie, the pamphlet or booklet that was sent by the Vatican in 1995 that originally contained this list) is available anywhere online? The secondary sources I’ve looked at sometimes seem to quote from this original pamphlet, but I can’t find it anywhere. If they’re not online, are they accessible elsewhere?
