Catholics, Alcohol, And Drinking | The Catholic Gentleman

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John are joined by Michael Foley, the author of Drinking with the Saints, to discuss how we can drink alcohol and smoke a pipe while still growing in holiness. We talk about how the Church understands alcohol consumption and how Michael came to write these books. Be sure to watch all the way through so you can learn how to enter into the book drawing.
In this episode we discuss;
• Why Catholics don't think drinking is immoral
• How enjoying a cigar can be holy
• Tips for achieving moderation
• The best Catholic cocktails and how to make some
• And More

Foley is a Professor of Patristics in the Great Texts Program at Baylor University, a Professor of Theology at the Aquinas Institute, and the author of approximately 350 articles and fourteen books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Christianity, Drinking with the Saints, Drinking with Saint Nick, and Drinking with Your Patron Saints.

Great topic and FANTASTIC guest for it! I was privileged to meet Michael several times when I was at Baylor. Thanks for bringing him on!

[@jeffreysmith7274]

One of your best interviews. Thank you men!

No problem with drinking in moderation; however, there is a genetic tendency to alcholism. If this is in your family, be very careful. This genetic is very strong in those with an Irish/ Celtic heritage. However, when it comes to inhaling a toxic substance like tobacco, the message should always be no ! It is going to be so interesting to see how this is address!

Please have more shows on Whiskey, Cigars, and pipes!

I’ll be honest, I wish there was a bigger discussion about keeping one’s physical health and especially, strength training/athleticism, than whether alcohol/tobacco have a proverbial whiff of sanctity.

Jesus' first miracle was converting water into wine! And no it wasn't grape juice either as many like to preach in other religions.

I think we're down to about 6 locations for Trappist Beer. 3 in Belgium, 1 in Germany, 1 in France and 1 in England.

And one in the USA. At St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, MA.

[@eholden205]

@@josephclohosey4536 Don't forget Monk's Cafe in Philadelphia, the only contract brewed Trappist in the USA that I know of.

Question about Noah and planting the first grapes? why was there no mention of this?

[@dianngallawa9958]

What about marijuana?

[@ramirezramirez4204]

What about cigars?

and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:21)
