At every juncture of human life and human operations, we encounter individuals and the community under moral, physical, and spiritual challenge. To soften this void, we engage every sort of “ism” as a substitute purpose for human life, whether it be environmentalism; communism and its penchant for economic redistribution; materialism as its own good; atheism […]
The first remedy is to take the ideas which cause sadness in us and make them concrete, analyze them, correct, and control them. These may be ideas of (1) failure or mistake, (2) inability or sickness, (3) death of a loved one, (4) sorrow or trouble in general. 1. Failure in a career or business […]

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus explains the radical moral vision of Christianity. Quite striking is the way in which he begins this explanation. He does not commence his sermon with an abstract exposition of morality. Nor does he offer a basic description of the initial stages of the spiritual life. Instead, he begins […]

In this episode of The Catholic Gentleman, Sam and John discuss some incredibly rich traditions within the Catholic Church and the sad decline in our modern times to actively practicing them.

How sad, how lack-luster a life he leads Who delights to describe the death he sees. How rotten be the heart of a brother Who snivels ‘bout the rot in another! One thing we can know for certain about heaven is that this is not it. Anyone with eyes and ears knows well the incredible […]

To most of us, Heaven is rather abstract. It’s a kind of fuzzy thing. Often in life, we look forward to events — graduations, doctorates, marriage, and so on. But when our anticipation is great, the event, when it occurs, seems to lose something. That’s why, I believe, we don’t like to talk about Heaven. […]

“I Can Find Heaven on Earth” The person who says this usually means he hopes to find happiness by the accumulation of riches. Although it seems that few people actually make that statement, a good number live as if that were their goal. The fictional play Doctor Faustus portrays a man who proposes a pact […]
