Rev. Dr. James Kearny: From Yale to the Scripture
"Back, talking to James Kearney, who, like me, graduated Yale University and turned into a total Jesus freak, kicking to the curb all the accoutrement of high society. It's kind of funny. So the idea that you're you know, you were actually a whiffing poof greeting your parents in white tie and tails on the tarmac. Part of me wants to say like, man, what a jerk. But delivered God you from being a total idiot and called you unto himself and away from the cocktail parties at Wolsey Hall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So well, yeah, it's kind of hilarious. So but but OK, so we don't have a ton of time. And I want to talk to you about some specific things that you're working on. But so roughly speaking, what what happened after that? How do you pursue ministry? What happens? What happened is that God had called me during that world tour to to go and rebuild his house for it had fallen into ruin. This is my life call. I received it when I was at Assisi in a St. Francis's call. And I thought, well, that's good. You said world tour. You didn't explain. So I will explain you and the whiffing poofs were on a world tour. This is what the whiffing poofs do. They're this, as I say, this fabled singing group that they fall on a pretty hard times. No one's heard of them anymore. But honestly, you're in the place where St. Francis is from Assisi. And God spoke to you there and said, I want you to rebuild my house, which is exactly what he said to St. Francis in Assisi. How did God communicate that to you at that point? How did that happen? Oh, interesting. Well, well, one, I was I was doing my very first fast, which I'd never done before, and I needed to because I've been at cocktail parties and eating sumptuously for, you know, all through Asia and all through Europe. And so and our next gig, it was between London and Spoleto, we were going to be at the Spoleto festival. So I had about three days in between. So I decided to go on a fast and go to Assisi because it was one stop away from Spoleto because I was a good Catholic. When I was there, I was taken in by a Franciscan, an American Franciscan from Ohio who was there for the summer, and he gave me a biography of St. Francis, and I was wandering around spacey because at this point it had been about two days without food. And I got up to the top of the hill and was leaning up against a castle and looking out over the Umber Valley. It's a beautiful, warm day, you know, in Italy, just absolutely gorgeous. And I'm reading about this fellow, St. Francis, that sounds a lot like me. He was upper, he was middle class, had a lot of money, and God had broken into his life and he was trying to follow God and he didn't know what to do. So he was at the Chapel of San Damiano. St. Francis was looking at the crucifix and the crucifix spoke to him. And in the book, they suddenly had out in quotes what the crucifix said, which Jesus said, said, go and rebuild my house, for it has fallen into ruin. And at that moment, there was a burst above my head of four doves, three white and one black, and they went way out over the valley. Wait a minute. So the moment you're reading this, you're in this beautiful place, reading this biography of St. Francis in the place where St. Francis is from. And in the moment that you read the line that Jesus spoke to St. Francis in the 13th century, in that moment, four doves explode over your head, not literally explode, but explode into flight. It felt like that. Yeah. And it was a way of it's sort of God's lovely way of emphasizing circumstances. And you could, of course, say, well, that was just circumstance. And you can, you know, which the secularists always do. They always look at the world and they try to bottom line it so that nothing means anything. But one of the things that we understand as Christians is that with God's creation, everything means everything. And he is constantly communicating to us through the smallest detail. And the big part of it is just, are we listening? It's not this God speak, but do we have ears to hear?

A highlight from St. Padre Pio and the Healing of the Church Building a Kingdom of Love w/ Msgr. John Esseff podcast
"Monsignor Essif encountered Saint Padre Pio, who would become a spiritual father to him. He has lived in areas around the world, serving in the Pontifical Missions, a Catholic organization established by Pope Saint John Paul II, to bring the good news to the world, especially to the poor. He continues to serve as a retreat leader and director to bishops, priests and sisters, seminarians and other religious leaders. Building a Kingdom of Love, Reflections with Monsignor John Essif. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Good morning. Good morning, Monsignor. How are you today? Very good. Very good. Thank you. The Feast of Saint Padre Pio. What a great feast, huh? I can't even imagine what it must be like for you to have known those individuals who have been lifted up and are now saints. Does that make you a second -class relic? I feel very privileged to have known them, to have met them, to have been accompanied by them. And I believe all of us have various saints that we're just really looking forward to, to spending time with for eternity. And what would a visit be like with your favorite saints? Hagiography, which is the study of the saints, I really think needs a review, because so often we think that we almost make them unreal. Saint Pio suffered terribly in many, many ways. Yes, he is honored and praised now, but he was rejected, just like Jesus. What was his stigmata a sign of? The suffering of Jesus Christ. When I heard of him, I was very drawn to go to see him. And when I went to see him, the time that I saw him, he was banished to the furthest monastery that the Franciscan had. There he was, way off. Petriosina is not the center of the world. It's the furthest monastery they had. It's way up in the hills on the Adriatic side of Italy. Not the center, certainly, of Franciscan life. And I think they were trying to hide him, because why? Because the bishop suspected that his, and I didn't know this at the time, that his wounds were self -inflicted, that he was self -inducing the wounds. And his bishop was convinced that he had to be silenced, and he did. He was unable to preach. What kind of psychological, emotional, as well as physical pain does a priest have when he's been banished to a far remote place, silenced, unable to preach? The only thing he could do was hear confessions. And what a magnificent, he did, completely obedient. What example does he really give us when Jesus was lied about, when he was subjected to all kinds of examination and tests? Even the place that they sent him to said that they weren't sure that his wounds were not self -imposed.

"When I was driving to Indiana over the weekend, I saw a billboard, and if I remember correctly, it was in Indianapolis. And it was for one of the hospitals, maybe Franciscan or something, I don't know, but I don't want to say which hospital it was because I don't remember. But it said, one of the top 250 hospitals in America. I thought to myself, that's kind of a random way to say that, and is that really a good thing? No, I don't know how many hospitals there are. What are there? A thousand? Ten thousand? So let's say you're one of the top 250 hospitals in America. There are 50 states. So that means you're one of the top five hospitals in Indiana, roundabout. Maybe it's three in Indiana and seven in Illinois. I don't know. But wouldn't that be a better stat to say, one of the top five hospitals in Indiana or maybe the top hospital in Indiana? When I saw the number 250, I went, I guess that's something to get excited about. I don't know anything about marketing hospitals, I'm sure I could learn. But the first thing I thought, well, 250 may be a great number. If you don't know how many hospitals there are, how do you know if that's good or not? I couldn't tell you how many hospitals are in Nashville. You've got to qualify it because I don't know if many people know how many hospitals they have in each town, in each state, around the country. If we knew that, maybe it'd make more sense.

"Discerninghearts .com presents The Doctors of the Church, the Carerism of Wisdom with Dr. Matthew Bunsen. For over 20 years, Dr. Bunsen has been active in the area of Catholic social communications and education, including writing, editing, and teaching on a variety of topics related to church history, the papacy, the saints, and Catholic culture. He is the faculty chair at the Catholic Distance University, a senior fellow of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, and the author or co -author of over 50 books, including the Encyclopedia of Catholic History and the best -selling biographies of St. Damien of Malachi and St. Kateri Tekakawisa. He also serves as a senior editor for the National Catholic Register and is a senior contributor to EWTN News. The Doctors of the Church, the Carerism of Wisdom with Dr. Matthew Bunsen. I'm your host, Chris McGregor. Welcome, Dr. Bunsen. Great to be with you, Chris. I'm really looking forward to talking about our next doctor, St. Bernard of Clairvaux. Tell us why he's really quite special in the rankings of the doctors. Well, he's known as the Doctor Malifluous. He's known as the Ophthalmaturgist. In other words, he's a healer and a miracle worker. He was also kind of one of those doctors that was all -encompassing for his era, but who also imparted then important lessons for us today. He was a reformer who helped build the Cistercian Order, who helped reform much of monastic life. He was also a brilliant theologian who defended the teachings of the Church. He had a particular devotion to the Blessed Mother. But there's also one other thing that we're going to talk about, and that, of course, was his impact on the society of his time. And it came, as we're going to see, especially where the Second Crusade was concerned, at great price to him personally. And that's one of the other hallmarks of the Doctors of the Church. We always think of them as brilliant, as magnificent writers and theologians, but they were also saints. They were also people who put themselves totally at the service of Christ and his Church. And there, I think, was one of the areas where St. Bernard of Clairvaux really shined forth across the medieval sky, but it's a brightness that we can still see today. Help us to understand a term like mellifluous. What we mean by mellifluous is somebody who is perfectly capable of speaking, who's gifted as an orator, who is a brilliant speaker. Somebody who, we always say that the words just seem to roll off their tongue. Well, that certainly was St. Bernard. But there's also implied in the use of the term mellifluous, a smoothness, an elegance. Now, it's something of an apparent contradiction to think of somebody who lived a life of such severe austerity as St. Bernard of Clairvaux as being elegant. And yet, his theology, his mind, his love for the Church were indeed very elegant. He had a beautiful turn of phrase. He had a way of expressing himself that was indeed intellectually elegant. So mellifluous, I think, really works quite well when we're discussing a Doctor of the Church like this. What do we know of his upbringing? Well, we know that he was born into a noble family. And he, in France, he was born probably around 1090 to a very prominent family. His father, in fact, was a nobleman, a lord of what was known as Fontaine. His name was Tesselyn and his mother was named Alith of Mont Barde. They were part of Burgundy. So when we think of France, we think of the Burgundy region as creating these beautiful wines, the Burgundy wine. Burgundy, during this time, was emerging onto the French scene and then the European scene as one of the most prominent of the great duchies in medieval Europe. It was positioned sort of between France and Germany, but then the Burgundians would also influence the great and terrible Hundred Years' War in a couple of centuries. So the family itself enjoyed quite a bit of prominence, which meant that Bernard, as one of seven children, was given the opportunity for a great education. He was then sent to a very prominent school of chatillon that was run by a group of canons. And he quickly showed himself very capable of great learning. He enjoyed poetry. He had a skill, an aptitude for literature. And he demonstrated that ability to speak well, to be mellifluous. And he had two interesting devotions. The first was a great love of the Bible, and then the other was a particular devotion to the Blessed Mother that was going to carry him forward for the rest of his life. What led him into the Benedictine Order? Yeah. Well, Bernard himself always had a rather low opinion of himself. He was tempted by the great opportunities of life, by the temptations of the flesh, but also of the mind. He was somebody who probably would have excelled, and boy we have seen this with so many of the Doctors of the Church, he could have excelled at anything he chose to do. He could have become a very, very powerful and prominent leader in the secular world, in the world of the nobility of the time. He understood that about himself though, and I think his mother had a great deal to do with that. His mother helped ingrain in him an abiding love of the faith. And when she died, when he was 19 years old, he understood that he was being called to something else. And as we have seen with other Doctors of the Church, he felt called by Christ to escape the world, to live a life of prayer, of solitude, of contemplation. And so, in order to control himself, he used the phrase that he was aware that his body needed strong medicine. And what he meant by that was that he needed strong spiritual medicine. He turned himself over to the Benedictine order. Now, as it happens, when Bernard was only 8 years old, a very famous saint at the time, named Robert of Mollem, had founded, near the great French city of Dijon, what was known as the Abbey of Citeaux. This was the foundation of the Cistercians. Their objective was very simple, to restore the rule of Saint Benedict. Now, there's no implication that the great house, for example, of Cluny, that was the dominant institution of the time from monasticism, was corrupt. Rather, it simply did not have the same devotion to the rigor of the rule of Saint Benedict that there were some who felt it needed to have. Robert of Mollem was one of them. So, the Cistercian monastery really looked to recapture the vigor of the original rule of Saint Benedict. And it began attracting many people, many young men, who also sought what Bernard was seeking. And, as it happened, in 1113, another saint, by the name of Stephen Harding, became abbot of Citeaux. And Bernard arrived, along with a group of other young noblemen, who followed him from Burgundy and the surrounding regions, with a desire to enter the Cistercians. And Bernard proved himself, really from the very beginning, a most apt postulant. And he found his true life in Citeaux, in the Cistercians. And it was clear, in short order, that the Cistercians saw in him somebody with almost unlimited potential. You mentioned his great love for scripture. He's known for some of the most beautiful teachings, from one book in particular of the Bible, that being the Song of Songs. Yes, yes. What's interesting about his love of scripture is that he was able to reflect on scripture, but how did he do it? He did it through a series of sermons, in particular, as you note, on the Song of Songs. Now, the Song of Songs is one of the most controversial, so to speak, of the texts of scripture, of the books of the Bible, because so many people interpret it in almost exclusively sensual terms. And yet, here we have Bernard preaching on this beautiful book of the Old Testament. And for him, it was not just simply a rhetorical device to use sermons, but it was a way of imparting to every possible audience some of his most important teachings. And so we have, aside from his sermons on the Song of Songs, we also have in excess of a hundred sermons that he delivered throughout the year, throughout the liturgical year. And then he gave sermons as well on a variety of other subjects, and then of course we also have his letters. We'll be talking more, I know, about his writings in a little bit. What are some of those marks of those early years in his involvement with the Cistercians, or his living out that Cistercian call? We know, as I said, that Bernard was acutely aware of his own failings, of his own temptations, and the need, as he said, for strong medicine. The environment, Cistercian with its stress on prayer, on contemplatio, on contemplative prayer, on discipline of the monastic life, on the full embrace of not just the rigor, but also the deep humanity of the Benedictine rule, of the rule of St. Benedict, I think had a really profound influence on him. He was able to control himself, to focus his mind as he needed to have it focused. And within a short amount of time, I mean, consider that he entered around 1113, what happened within three years. He was chosen by the Cistercians to set out and do something that was almost impossible to imagine at the time. This young man was sent out to establish a new house, and it became the great founding of Clairvaux. Now, where he was sent was in the Diocese of Langres in France, in what was called the Valley of Desolation. It gives us a little visual of what we're actually talking about. This was a virtual swamp where they chose to establish this new community. And this is around 1115. And it soon became a place of almost ceaseless toil. But imagine trying to convert a swamp into a new community of religious life, and yet this is exactly what Bernard was able to accomplish. But he did it with austerity, with prayer, with almost ceaseless toil, and that took its toll on him. And always of a somewhat frail disposition, he consistently embraced austerity to the point that he wrecked much of his health, but he saw it as a worthy gift in order to get this institution of Clairvaux up and running. Now what you've just described sounds so unappealing. We're really honest with ourselves, and yet it attracted so many to the extent that it would thrive. Yes, that's the thing precisely. The harder the life was at Clairvaux, the more people seemed to be attracted to it. Now, it's not a sense of, oh, I want to embrace suffering. What it is, rather, is I want to conform my life to what the Cistercians, what Clairvaux had to offer. Think about the Sons of Nobility, who a century from now would be joining the mendicant orders of the Dominicans and especially the Franciscans. We're seeing a similar impulse toward a lifestyle of the rejection of the self, of giving up everything we have, picking up their cross and following Christ. This was the appeal of Clairvaux. This was the appeal of the Cistercians. And it was accomplished. Why? Because Bernard was able to create an environment that, yes, it was difficult, there was work and toil for everyone. But two things. One, that prayer life, but also the joy. The valley, which had once been called a place of desolation, a valley of desolation, soon acquired the title of the Valley of Light. Why? Because it was a place of prayer. It was a place of joy. And young men in growing numbers came to Clairvaux to embrace that life, but also to place themselves under the spiritual direction of Bernard. Among them were Bernard's brothers. His father, after the death of his mother, of course, embraced this life. And even his sister, Humboldtine, remained out in the world and yet she eventually, with the permission of her husband, became a Benedictine nun. This is the influence of Bernard. Bernard's brother Gerard became the master of the cellars of the Cistercians. And, of course, what soon happened, this small community of Clairvaux was bursting at the seams. They simply had no more room for the young men. So, they themselves then went out and found, established new houses, new Cistercian communities based on the model that Bernard had established at Clairvaux. And by the time of his death, more than 160 new establishments were flourishing across, not just France, but increasingly across the whole of Christendom. And if we want a testament as to what the Church thought of all of this, one of the Popes came for a visit one night and he was asked, Bernard was asked, to make it possible for the Pope to dine at Clairvaux. And he certainly gave what was a very warm welcome to the Pope and the whole papal court. Well, what was the meal? It was a humble meal of bread and a few fish. The analogy, of course, being very obvious to the Pope. Wine was not really served, but rather he received water that was filled with herbs to give it some taste. So, in other words, the Pope came to this monastery and he was not served a feast. He was given loaves in the fishes and a cup of bitter herbs. And yet, the Pope was grateful and found the entire experience to be so powerfully edifying that it confirmed once again Bernard's value to the Church, but also his value to the Popes. And that was something that many Popes availed themselves of. We'll return in just a moment to The Doctors of the Church, the terrorism of wisdom with Dr. Matthew Monson.

Is it possible for us to underestimate the power of the foundational element in all of this, of the Holy Rule of St. Benedict? And in particular, that very first paragraph, that very first exhortation by Good St. Benedict to listen with the ear of the heart. As you're describing this, that's exactly what Bernard was doing. Yeah, and in that sense we see in Bernard not something extraordinarily new, but something wonderfully old. In the sense that here was a reformer, here was in the great tradition of the church, a reformer who wanted to go back to recapture the original zeal, the fire of St. Benedict. But what was it that was always so remarkably successful about Benedict's rule? To pray, to work. All of these rules of St. Benedict are aimed at bringing the soul to Christ through work, through prayer. But there is this underlying practicality to Benedict's rule. Benedict knew people. He knew humanity. So that the rule itself was able to take a person, form them in Christ, and help them not to become less than they were with rules and other things, but rather through the rule to form them into more fully created humans, living as Christ really wants us to. Authentic freedom in giving up of ourselves for Christ. But in a way that still accommodates human frailty and human weakness, not by catering to it, but by understanding it and forming it. To use that word again, forming an authentic human person. And I think Bernard, while incredibly tough on himself, helped create an environment that was truly faithful to what Benedict had in mind. He's visited by the pope and the papal court. From this point forward, he becomes quite a, can we say, influential person within the life of the church. Very much so. In Bernard, we have one of those great voices within Christendom. And what did he use his voice for? He always placed it at the service of the popes. He defended the church against secular interference. He worked to diffuse potentially violent situations. Despite the fact that he wanted to stay at Clairvaux, he wanted to give his life exclusively to his monks, to his life of prayer. He was constantly being called out of the monastery to travel, to go forth on behalf of the popes. In 1128, for example, he took part in the Council of Troia that had been convoked by Pope Honorius II. Its was purpose to settle controversies that had developed among some of the bishops in France, as well as to try to make some sense of the ecclesiastical life of the Church of France. The church at the time in France was growing, but it was also being beset by the demands of secular rulers, of the need for internal reform. And what was Bernard given the task of doing? Well, he served as secretary of the council. He was asked to write the statutes of the synod. And as a result of it, one bishop was deposed and a real effort at reform was implemented. It's notable that coming out of this particular synod, though, there were those who did not like him. There were those who found him excessive in his call for reform. There were others in the church who felt that as a monk he had no business interfering in the life of diocese. And in one particular instance, a letter was sent to Bernard describing him as sounding like little more than a noisy and vexatious frog sitting in his marshes. Which of course was a phrase sort of going back to the very origins of Clairvaux. So here was this noisy and difficult frog croaking in the marshes and annoying as this one cardinal wrote the Holy See in the cardinals of the church. Well, of course, Bernard, using his sharp mind, made a reply to this cardinal by the name of Harmeric. And he said that he was the one who was asked by the pope to do this. And so he said, if you wish, forbid the noises of this vexatious frog. Don't allow him to leave his hole, to leave the marshes. And if that's the case, then your friends of the Holy See in the cardinals will not be forced to endure the accusations of pride and presumption that this frog is croaking in their direction. What it did was to diffuse the entire situation. And Bernard actually rose in the estimation of people because it implied two things. It showed that he had a sense of humor, which he did. He was able to do a fraternal correction of a cardinal, but in a way that everyone could appreciate. But it also pointed to his humility. It pointed to the fact that he'd been given these tasks against his will. There were other things that he would rather be doing. And yet he took up that task and he did it exceedingly well. And so in the next years, two years later, what happened? With the death of Pope Honorius, you had a new schism in the church. You had two popes who were rivals and, of course, Bernard entered the fray and helped to settle many of these issues. And then, of course, in the next years, he was so profoundly trusted that he was summoned to the second laddering council in which the schism was decisively put down. In which the rights of the real pope were validated. And then, in the coming years, he was asked by the pope to bring about the second crusade. And this, of course, became one of the great crosses that he was forced to bear. With some of the doctors that we've explored, their lives are so full and their teachings so rich that it takes us sometimes two, maybe even three episodes. And I think this is what we're encountering with St. Bernard of Clairvaux. So in conclusion of this particular conversation on his life, what's a final thought? The final thought is that we can trace in the life of St. Bernard from his earliest days a love of the faith, a desire to serve the faith. But as we have seen consistently with doctors of the church, serving in the way that God wills, not what he would rather do. And he was called, felt deeply the love of the contemplative life, but God had other plans for him. The wider service of the church. And he spent those years, his early years at Clairvaux, serving the church. And he was asked to serve on a wider plane. And he was going to give the rest of his life to that, regardless of the cost. And there, I think, is the lesson for all of us. I look forward to our future conversations, particularly about St. Bernard. So do I. Looking forward to it, Chris. God bless. Thank you.

You Can't Penalize Innocent People for Someone Else's Crime
"How would you like to be a San Franciscan family, realizing you suddenly are on the hook for an amount of money in excess of the fines levied for insurrection? It's one thing to be fined in a court of law, quite another to be fined in absentia for a hundred year old crime that you did not commit. It may not even be a crime your ancestors committed. And this gets to the fundamental law in the reasoning behind reparations. You can't penalize innocent people for someone else's crimes. And to argue that it's justified solely because of race, does nothing to solve the problem of racism. It's actually guaranteed to make race relations worse because you're unjustly punishing innocent people based on skin color. The fact that the board of supervisors approve this plan also demonstrates the naked contempt they have for their constituents. Over half a million per family is an insane amount. It's pretty audacious to think everyone would be okay with paying out that much cash without a complaint.

"Now I have a question. What happens after they make their and work their way through, the $5 billion reparation and how long does that reparation last? Is it multi generational, much like the public housing? Where you have generations of people now living in public housing? Is that what we're talking about here? So if grandma gets $5 million and your mom gets $5 million, will you get $5 million? Are we talking about, say, a family of 5 could all of a sudden become multi millionaires? Just because of the color of their skin isn't America great. Another official supervisor shim shaman Walton told the newspaper that some San franciscans had suggested using revenue brought in by the city's cannabis business tax. Oh, that's a lovely idea. That tax, which had been suspended for years, was recommended for another suspension through 2025, but even that money would not come close to covering the cost. San Francisco reports that according to the city's budget office, the tax would only raise about $10.2 million a year. But there's more ladies and gentlemen. I'm telling you, folks, if you're black or you want to identify like yours truly LeBron stars, I would encourage you to get in your station wagon and head directly to Tesla.

"The grace of that confession that God was calling him to be a religious priest that he could not doubt then wherever throughout his life that in fact God was calling him to religious priesthood. So I think as you read that account, I think it's pretty clear that what the young Jorge bergoglio is describing is an experience of first mode discernment in which his vocation to religious priesthood is revealed to him. The three elements of a first mode discernment really seemed to be present. Now let's notice that if we focus on that first element of something that is shown, what specifically is shown to Jorge in that first mode discernment as he goes to confession. What is shown to him is that God is calling him to be a religious to be a religious priest. Specifically where Franciscan Dominican Jesuit, redemption, that is not shown to him in his first mode discernment, and in fact his clarity about his call specifically to be a Jesuit priest only came a few years later. Okay, and I'm focusing on that because it's going to be important in understanding first mode discernment well to see clearly what is shown to the person in the first mode discernment. Now let's take a look at a further experience and this is Gary. We'll just take this last experience of first mode discernment. And I want to include this one because all of the experiences we have shared thus far all take place with a certain drama, there's a powerful moment of grace of understanding suddenly the moment came when suddenly the clarity came and has stopped all questions or in a powerful lightning bolt that passes through her whole being and clarity is given in Gary we have, I'd say a less dramatic but equally powerful experience. So let's just look at this. I would find it hard to say exactly when my calling is a priest first became clear to me, so there's no one specific moment in this case. It was always there in a sense. It just wells up and is present to Gary. It was there as far back as I can remember thinking about my future. Certainly already when I was in grade school, which is a wonderful grace when God gives it. Faith was an important part of our family. Family life, and we were always active in the parish. Catholic school also helped. So the spiritual soil for a vocation was there. The ambience, the devout family, the parish, the Catholic school, all of this supports the

"Different christians of different traditions sometimes just never really talked to each other and so they really do have a caricature of a very simplified view of the other side. And i've thought so much about abacus finches Advice in the novel to kill a mockingbird where he says you never really understand someone until you see the world through their eyes and that whole book is about kind of a losing our prejudices and learning to truly see other people. I think i love that. And i try to practice that. I'm sure i don't do it perfectly. But but i've just been dismayed. At how much there is the caricaturing on both sides. Both sides can do that a lot and so something like you know having a more nuanced view of solis capterra for the protestants to have a more nuanced view of of catholic. Doctrines daycare couture. I appreciate that because that way we can better understand what another and actually make more progress in the dialogue. Absolutely i mean that's something jackie night joke about all the time. I'll be like well. You worship mary so megan. And i've definitely. I've come being friends with making come to understand. Protestant views have a lot more respect. Because as i mentioned before i went to franciscan university of susanville and i was just surrounded by all catholics. I was raised with all catholics. And i used to think. I think i've said this. Before on the podcast i used to think that sola script hora was like the dumbest just really. That's what i thought that to me. Shoes like we should do episodes slows capterra. Because i hate it. And i still don't agree with it but i also like okay. Obviously jackie first of all be humble like very intelligent christians. This is not something they've just solved. If it was really easy people at all would all agree on this. And now i have come to understand solo script and what people actually believe and even though i don't agree with it. I now understand how very intelligent christians christians more intelligent than i am. Hold this view. So i've definitely got rid of a lot of the caricatures that i've had about protestants and megan i think has the same conversations. I remember at moody my husband. We met at moody but he was taking a class on the reformation so was like an intensive on the reformation and so of course these conversations of protestants and catholics come up a lot and one of the authors of a book he had to read said that the only way that the gap can be bridged is if we read each other's literature in the presence of the other person and that's always stuck with me because i was like.

But there was even more bravery and selflessness. That day. Some of the callers inside those buildings as they spoke with their loved ones. They spoke of some who were uninjured who may have been able to escape. But instead of leaving, they chose to stay with those who could not help themselves. Many colours also reported one man on the 105th floor of Tower one going from office to office, praying with people giving them calm, giving them the assurance of God's love. His mercy is forgiveness through Christ. But only a few were finally saved. According to all accounts that day, 2977 Americans died so many victims killed in those plane crashes or trapped in those buildings. But not everyone who died. There was a victim. Some went in voluntarily never to leave alive of those Almost 3000, who died that day.

"Services at Franciscan children's. Joining me today is doctor Alexander Milner, the director of mental health research at Franciscan children's. Today we're going to talk a little bit about debunking myths on suicide. Thank you so much for joining me today, doctor Milner. I'm happy to be here. Thanks for having me. So let me start up by saying there's a lot of false information out there on suicide. Everything from who's at risk to how you can help someone, movies, social media, pop culture, all of those things contribute to the myths that we may come across related to the topic of suicide. So I was hoping today to clarify some of the misunderstandings with what we know from both research and from clinical practice. So in my clinical practice, when it comes to suicide, the number one concern that I often hear from parents and from other professionals is asking about thoughts of suicide actually incurred someone to make a suicide attempt. We hear this a lot from parents even not wanting us necessarily to evaluate because they're concerned that even mentioning the word suicide is going to send their kid running off to do it. So can you tell us a little bit about what research has to say about this? Yeah, absolutely. So this is obviously a huge important topic and one that as researchers we really tried to understand, I would say over the last 20 years. So there has been a lot of research with both teenagers and adults and suggesting really that asking questions about suicide talking about suicide does not on average increase risk. Now there are, of course, instances where when people are already maybe upset about the fact that they're suicidal or if they've never been suicidal before, that it can be upsetting. But for most kids that we work with or a lot of kids that we work with, they are suicidal. They are. And they are thinking these thoughts, whether you're asking about them or not..

And so you know, when we think about the journaling or the exercise for the meditation, random acts of kindness, right the devotionals. We deliver all of these things in a very formal, formulaic way. So that way, you know it creates those habits. And then after the 30 days, of course, our goal is to say, Hey, remember, this is a wellness challenge, And we want to keep you well, right. Franciscan isn't just a place to go when you're sick or a place to help keep you well, and that's why we designed this challenge. And so I will tell you that the habit should stick. But we've already gotten some great feedback from people who have just finished up the challenge, and they have already said that the challenges so So good and so simple that if they're ever feeling down or need a pick me up, they're going to take the challenge again and just keep it front and center for them. So that way they can have that extra boost to kind of stay on the right track. This is free. I understand. Right free. This is going to cost us anything. No, it's absolutely free. Um, and again we You know, we we created. This is just a way to just kind of give back to community and just make sure that people understand like we're here for you. You know, we want to make sure that you're living your best life and these challenges are going to help bring that out. You know, we talk about random acts of kindness. And and so I got an impartial to this one. Just because, you know, I don't know there's I've had some good experiences even before this challenge was put together. You know, there's a some really great outcomes that you get When you do something nice for someone else, right? It's contingent. Well, yeah, it's so is and and the thing that I've noticed, right, I'll tell you a quick little story here, but so you know, when you do something nice for someone else, you know, there's this instant gratification a lot of times that you'll get by seeing What someone else gets out of it. But there's a big part of it. Of what sticks with you. And what carries on in your heart. And it really I think you get more out of giving to others. Then you knew than the other person does in all honesty, right? Agree? Yeah, So it's just a great option. You know? Great thing I know is a kid I gave away with a neighbor of mine. We gave away a bunch of bikes. To just where we grew up. We grew up in an area where you don't really have a lot. And so when we were a little older, we had some great bikes that we didn't need any more. We donated them and I'm telling you, we talk about it all the time. Just because it felt so good to be able to give back in the the look and the joy on these kids face and we give him the vice was amazing. So random acts of kindness is something that we deliver more than once throughout the challenge. Jim Slava from Franciscan Health in one of the designers of the challenge. Thank you so much for what you're doing. I'm excited. I would I would love to to hear about you and or your listeners, you know, let us know you don't share what you're experiencing on social media with the hashtag D G F you challenge. You know, we're encouraging people to join with someone else. You know, it's always your challenge is always more fun with an accountability partner not only because they have fun hearing about their stories and what they go through. But again, there's that accountability factor. Um, And so we've seen a lot of great success when people join with someone else. We have gotten some overwhelming responses from local organizations that are just like, you know, we need a wellness challenge, right? You know, you mentioned earlier that people are getting back to the office and you know there is some transition in that There's some routine in that. And we've had several organizations say, you know, this is a great program and great timing. And they have opted in with their co workers and their doing internal in office challenges, and it's really increasing the positive vibe in the culture as people are getting back and getting re situated in the office, So it's free to any business. We can even customize it. If a business is interested in that, Okay, listen. Get in touch with Jim. Jim, would they talk? Contact you? If a business wants to do it, do you? Do they just jump into it?

"One year and will usually the very thing that we're attracted to in our in our partner eventually turns us off early on in my own training. I remember a couple where i asked the husband. You know what what what attracted you to start dating her and he said you know what. She was so organized she where we was planned. Everything out. I was just terrible student. She got me organized. She got me through college. I mean i could just see. And then i asked her. What's the thing that attracted you to him and he was like oh he was care free. He just kind of did whatever you wanted. Well five years down the road agonise slob drives the other one crazy now. You gotta know everything everything. I'm doing wherever going. Can't we just relax in the other. One says you never plan. Anything was the same person. And i've seen that with france but when we then start going on the defensive in really the attack mode we we cannot communicate in a healthy way that honors that space. Whether it's your bathroom space or just some quiet time or may. Oftentimes introverts are very much attracted extroverts. Extroverts introverts then down the road. Why can't we stay at the party till they closed the door and the introverts in. Why can't we leave before we get there. I don't know anybody. I don't want to sit there and it's obvious to others but not when you're in that relationship and so to be able to tap in find that inner resilience that intercommunication with yourself with your lover your partner with your children Means you have to enter into dialogue right. Well that's what's been lost in the mini micro right at times when one side is against the other. No one's listening. There's no dialogue. We're seeing it nationally. I politically you saying it around the world but it comes back to this very same place when we feel not safe not attached not not secure within ourselves our relationship we go into.

"Affect couples were traumatized Trying to raise a family in this unique was traumatizing and so the use of substances rose the use of other addictive behaviors rose What is that well whether it's overeating under eating too much exercise absolutely none whether it's other process addictions like well you know Internet pornography of course but not just pornography but getting lost in hours and hours of binge-watching own. Now who would do that making that flex try to call the midwife We laugh. But i mean it's real it becomes a scape instead of having to talk with anybody. I'm just going to go spend the whole evening. Just keep hitting next one so they don't have to deal with the problem. Think about the problem but what it does is it. Just numbs us. But it doesn't mean the pain isn't there it's just been knocked right and so after a while you start feeling again and then they want you to go back to work or we gotta get back into a routine and you know my grandson is now playing baseball and so no mom and dad gotta get ready for games and but then we played in. Do the covid thing. People gotta wear masks and You know it's all what we have to do. But this is all traumatizing and so for us as therapists even I know for me. My modality is really working to assess what level if any trauma a couple has. An individual has a family has not just before covid. But what trauma could have taken place that makes it even more challenging right How do you you were talking about body. Language is it. The voice is the facial expressions like our most people honest they really show up and just start telling you their deepest darkest secrets well. Let's go back to that. And the answer is yes and no. Yes in that when someone calls to come to counseling it is probably one of the most courageous things they've ever had because they've had to pick up the phone call a. Place that they may have gotten a recommendation from appraised or a friend or a clergy person. Or somebody you know some neighbor gotta give them a call but that person is in distress somehow someway and they're calling for help to a person they don't even know right so that in and of itself takes enormous amount of courage current so the motivation is high to call in the motivation. To feel better is high. And and i say motivation usually comes from one of two places either comes through inspiration or desperation or combination of both right. Now there's a lot of desperate desperate. We are more motivated to come in here and change Or at least maybe not change but we wanna feel better that doesn't necessarily mean change lap and so to answer you come back to your question jan. Yeah when they come in. They are honest about their pain. And that's how we assess it. What is happening what are you experiencing sleeplessness. Non easily agitated depressed. You feel frantic. You feel out of control it. Can't you can't eat or you can't stop eating. We go through a whole list of questions of what's happening in your life. How are your relationships. I'm not getting along with my husband or my wife. I'm not getting along with my family I haven't seen my friends in months. I feel like i'm all alone right. So we take all of those things in through our clinical training assesit in try not so much to diagnose an illness but to.

"Parents couldn't protect their kids from an abusive spouse or family member and again this trash just kept going up and then all the unknown So again september brought in This of two thousand brought in a lot more counseling opportunities for families and kids and especially couples. Because that's what i really work with the most But it brought in a whole different set of problems Even for me trying to do couples therapy online You're in my office so you see. I've got a couple chairs and i've got the couch. Well couples are in distress. Usually don't sit next to each other on the couch right. But when they're looking at me on camera they got almost be shoulder to shoulder and they're they're getting along with each other so that's unique dynamic and then You know just those little nuances that you think about them. I kinda like it because it tells me what's going to happen. But there's also that Non verbal body language. That i can't see. I don't know who's legs are shaking. I don't know who's clinching their fists right. I don't know what's happening. I just get from the chest up and so it really brought a lot of challenge for us as therapists to try and find a way to be efficient and effective with our clients but with a whole different modem right different way of doing it said similar to events such as hurricanes or tornadoes were somebody loses everything are it seems like a lot bigger emotionally that are events like this pandemic isn't like that kind of thing where you lose somebody to you know the whole family gets killed in a car wreck or something like where it's just so traumatic and unexpected says i. I can't imagine you're training really prepared you for a pandemic per se. No it doesn't train as for a pandemic book what we are what. I'm really naming is trauma.

"It just became very stressful normally stressful not to mention the political unrest and where we can go on and really since september The practice has picked up in his now. Overflowing in in a way that. I'm very grateful for. But i don't like to see so many folks in pain. So what the shutdown. Before we started the interview i was saying we have older children. Ours are twenty two and twenty eight but the one that's in college at lsu. She was home a lot. And so stressful. All the things. You're talking about The internet not being good enough for her classes online. Lsu and dropping connections during a task you know a critical task for grades. I can only imagine the stress of a young family that scott maybe two or three little people in elementary school. They're all having to be online. The parents both need to work to pay their bills They might have had issues before that are just come hounded by everybody on top of each other tripping over themselves you know can you touch on now like you know what would have even help. People that are physically challenged like that and emotionally challenged. It's i the overwhelm that we all feel right. And i get a lot of names. What it stacking. When it's it's noth- when you're carrying your load and it's heavy but then when you have other things stacking on top It becomes overwhelming. The strongest person coma carry so much weight right. The strongest person only carry so much weight and and it became a lot A lot of families Enjoyed that little break every day. Where mom and dad could go to work and the kids were either going to school or daycare and gave everyone a little breath breath to come up for air. That was gone Now parents are not just having to be parents and full time or part time employees. But now they're having to be teachers they're having to be. It professionals because we all had to learn how to become Efficient in technology not just and then we all had to go through a big expenditure of of. We don't have enough computers in the home. We don't have enough technology in the home. And that's just for what. I would call the healthy healthy family. The family that you know is just going through life and has its ups and downs. The struggles are there but now they are exacerbated. Then you take a family whereas you said earlier. The couple was already strained. The relationship was already strained and now the two have no escape now. They're expected to be together and they have no real way of working out the problem so it gets worse. Oftentimes the confinement of all the kids in the house. If parenting is a struggle if raising one or a few of the kids is a struggle it just amps all that energy up in a real distressing way and so families where there was more dysfunction where there was more unhealthy relating that to exacerbated. So you know thing that breaks my heart and has broken my heart and we continue to work with our those families that were in abusive homes. That abuse escalated i. It may have just gone just gone but it may have gone from emotional abuse to now physical abuse. It may have been minor now..

5 Minutes in Church History
Alexander of Hales
"On this episode of five minutes in Church history, we are talking about Alexander of Hales a medieval theologian. The first question is, where is hails will hails is in the West Midlands of England. The word itself means a Nook or a remote valley in this was a place that was a remote valley at the time of Alexander. The population of this sleepy little Berg was south of five hundred people. So now that we know where hails is who is Alexander. Well, he was born in eleven eighty five actually we're not quite exactly sure when he was born dates range from eleven eighty to eleven eighty six but we seem to settle on the date eleven eighty five. There is very little else known about his childhood we assume that his family was wealthy because he was sent off to the University of Paris to study in that was not something that everyone did. So we assume that his family had some means an off he went to Paris. His time at Paris. He held a number of church positions and titles but largely, he was a teacher at the University of Paris. He did become Franciscan monk in twelve thirty six and he would die in Paris in twelve, forty five. So. What did he do? Well, he was significant and bringing aristotle into the discussion of theology. Now, when we talk about this, we talk about all of the as that are involved and that is the first letter of the names of all of these people seems to begin with an a or there's no himself. Of course. Then there's arrows he was the Muslim scholar who translated aristotle from the Greek into Latin for all these medieval lists to be able to read study. There's Alberta's Magnus Albert the great another Great Faculty member at the University of Paris and he was the teacher of the final a a coyness. Thomas. Aquinas. Well, into that bunch of as we must throw Alexander he actually preceded Albertus magnus and he was the first to. The lectures and the theological lectures in particular around to aristotle and to use aristotle and his method, and even some of Aristotle's Tom's. As an aide and as a help to teach algae was Alexander of Hales that we see as the founder of the father of scholasticism and one of his published works was his own Suma Taylor. Of course, we talk about Thomas Acquaintances Suma but Alexander had one to his sumo was not finished at the time of his death and many others added to it in fact about seven years after he died. His book was still being added to one person said of Alexander's Suma that it was as heavy as a horse. Now, I'm sure there are some hyperbole there, but it was a massive tome. So we have his big book in his use of Aristotle but the other thing that makes him interesting is that he participated in these public university wide debates and he participated in famous one that spanned over three days. Now. Presumably, let's hope that they would take breaks from time to time. But this was a debate that spanned three days and anyone students. Faculty citizens of Paris could ask any question of the master and the master would have to feel it. And Alexander of Hales withstood three long days of this debate. That's how you earned the Latin title Doctor, Irre- FRAG analysis which we translate as the air refutable teacher. So he was unable to be refuted during those three days of debates. He also earned the title Doctor Doc two-room, which translated means the teacher of teachers. So this is Alexander of Hales that small village and mid western England and he made it all the way to the University of Paris as the Medieval, theologian? Alexander of Hales.
