Those that promote or endorse him, aid and abet the most insidious and destructive form of error.

Culture Making (Audiobook) by Andy Crouch | Audible.com — Crouch unpacks the complexities of how culture works and gives us tools for cultivating and creating culture. He navigates the dynamics of cultural change and probes the role and efficacy of our various cultural gestures and postures. Keen biblical exposition demonstrates that creating culture is central to the whole scriptural narrative, the ministry of Jesus and the call to the church. He guards against naive assumptions about "changing the world," but points us to hopeful examples from church history and contemporary society of how culture is made and shaped. Ultimately, our culture making is done in partnership with God's own making and transforming of culture.

Luke drops bombs on Church Militant and their attacks on Franciscan University. Gomer uses the word "fetishizes" but probably incorrectly. Also, WELCOME THE AMAZING PARISH CONFERENCE and WELCOME BACK CATHOLIC MATCH as sponsors!

I (Still) Love Franciscan – Bob Rice — And so it hurts when I see my “foster mother” attacked by various media outlets, though I think referring to some of those as “media outlets” is generous, as they come across more as glorified blog posts that seem entirely devoid of the charity that is at the heart of Jesus’ message. One of the things that frustrates me most, as a researcher, is the total lack of sources. Take this excerpt, for example: “I would guess only about a third of the faculty and administration can be described as orthodox,” says a Steubenville professor. I don’t know what department that “Steubenville professor” is from, but that is certainly not what I experience. At daily Mass, I frequently see not only Theology faculty, but Psychology, History, English, Chemistry… the list goes on.

It's the Live Show with Catholic Stuff You Should Know! Jan 11, 2019

Show notes

We are joined by the fine priests of Catholic Stuff You Should Know. And Gomer and Fr. John have it out! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Also, pray for priests who are discarded by the workaholism and isolation of this modern twisted culture. And thank God for priests willing to fight for not just holiness, but their own health, virtue, and community.
