S6 Episode 11 – Discerning lifestyle Dec 13, 2017

Show notes

“These subjects were reasoning. They were working quite hard at reasoning. But it was not reasoning in search of truth; it was reasoning in support of their emotional reactions. It was reasoning as described by the philosopher David Hume, who wrote in 1739 that ‘reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.”

-Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind

S6 Episode 9 – Falsitivity Nov 29, 2017

Show notes

“Like the choice between competing political institutions, that between competing paradigms proves to be a choice between incompatible modes of community life. Because it has that character, the choice is not and cannot be determined merely by the evaluative procedures characteristic of normal science, for these depend in part upon a particular paradigm, and that paradigm is at issue. When paradigms enter, as they must, into a debate about paradigm choice, their role is necessarily circular. Each group uses its own paradigm to argue in that paradigm’s defense.”

-Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions

Some stuff we mentioned:

The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt

Christopher Hitchens on why belief in God is illogical

S6 Episode 8 – Repetition Nov 08, 2017

Show notes

“Hey, Linc If Scylla really is in there, there’s gonna be security.

I need you focused.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey.

All clear upstairs.

You find something?

Picture of my mom.

Someone must have known I was coming.

Someone who’s connected enough to be working with Carruth and who knows you well enough to get their hands on that picture.

There’s only one person I can think of that fits that description.

You’re saying my mom’s in Miami? If she was operating out of this house, she certainly had access to money.

She’s a Company agent.

Gretchen said she thought that this could be an inside job.

Linc your mother could have Scylla.”

-Prison Break, s04e17

S6 Episode 7 – Bomb homily Nov 01, 2017

Show notes

“You have to correct. To redirect. To point out shortcomings. If your teenage son can’t think of anything to do for fun other than playing video games, then you need to turn off the devices and get him into the real world. You need to educate his desire. You have to teach your child your values rather than allowing him or her to adopt by default the values promoted by contemporary American culture.”

-Leonard Sax, The Collapse of Parenting

Here’s some stuff we mentioned:

Irritating or Inscrutable, an article by Fr. C-bisc

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

S6 Episode 6 – A case study Oct 25, 2017

Show notes

“But what, in conclusion, of Joy?…It was valuable only as a pointer to something other and outer. While that other was in doubt, the pointer naturally loomed large in my thoughts. When we are lost in the woods the sight of a signpost is a great matter. But when we have found the road and are passing signposts every few miles, we shall not stop and stare. They will encourage us and we shall be grateful to the authority that set them up. But we shall not stop and stare, or not much; not on this road, though their pillars are of silver and their lettering of gold. ‘We would be at Jerusalem.'”

-C.S. Lewis, Surprised by Joy

Here’s some stuff referenced in passing:

Reflections at Nazareth by Pope Paul VI

Introduction: 33 Days to Merciful Love by Fr. Michael Gaitley

Rules for Discernment by St. Ignatius Loyola

S6 Episode 5 – Get perfect Oct 19, 2017

Show notes

“We are proprietorial (yet also apprehensive) about time, thus we think and speak of ‘my time’. We speak glibly of time, as if it were just another throw-away item of our consumer society…Like our talents and our material goods, time is meant to be shared. Time in solitude and time with others – both are sacred because of God’s companionship.”

-Robin Daniels, The Virgin Eye

The Hobbit (now a major motion picture) by J.R.R. Tolkien

To Save a Thousand Souls by Fr. Bret Brannen

Not About the Beer homily by Fr. Nick Blaha (subscribe on iTunes at “Didde Catholic Campus Center”)

S6 Episode 4 – Held my ground Oct 11, 2017

Show notes

“If our religion is something objective, then we must never avert our eyes from those elements in it which seem puzzling or repellent; for it will be precisely the puzzling or repellent which conceals what we do not yet know and need to know.”

-C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

Look alive. Speak with authority. Read books. And don’t use Google. At least not, like, 70% of the time.

S6 Episode 3 – Life untasted Sep 29, 2017

Show notes

“In the midst of tears, she sheds no tears herself. The crowds marvel at her recklessness in throwing away her life untasted, as if she had already lived life to the full. All are amazed that one not yet of legal age can give her testimony to God. So she succeeds in convincing others of her testimony about God, though her testimony in human affairs could not yet be accepted. What is beyond the power of nature, they argue, must come from its creator.”

-St. Ambrose, Office of Readings for the Feast of St. Agnes

Hey, all. Enjoy some of the stuff we mention:

S6 Episode 2 – It was beautiful Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

“He told me, that all consists in one hearty renunciation of everything which we are sensible does not lead to GOD; that we might accustom ourselves to a continual conversation with Him, with freedom and in simplicity. That we need only to recognize GOD intimately present with us, to address ourselves to Him every moment, that we may beg His assistance for knowing His will in things doubtful, and for rightly performing those which we plainly see He requires of us, offering them to Him before we do them, and giving Him thanks when we have done.”

-Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God, Fourth Conversation

Here’s Lou Holtz’s commencement speech. Don’t get caught in the vortex.
