Sunday homily — The Trinity



For the Most Holy Trinity, Year A

“[O]ver the years I have seen the claims made by these exorcists get increasingly outlandish to the point where credibility is strained—not just of the particular exorcist, but of Catholic exorcisms in general.“

Super helpful and illuminating episode of Jesuitical. They sit down with theologian and legal scholar Cathleen Kaveny to explore how Catholics became so focused on s*xual morality and rules, digging into history, Scripture, natural law, and Pope Leo’s recent comments. Thoughtful, nuanced conversation that brings a lot of clarity to a charged topic.

This week on the “Jesuitical” podcast, Ashley and Zac speak with theologian and legal scholar Cathleen Kaveny about why Catholics seem to be obsessed with questions of s*xual morality.

Listening to Padre Peregrino’s outstanding series on the Roman Catechism of Trent: RCT 76 - The Good Confessor. Excellent episode on the sacrament of Penance.

My favorite part was when he advised penitents not to share outside confession what the priest told them in the confessional — wise counsel for safeguarding the seal and the sacrament.
People don't realize they can cause real problems for priests when they "soft-violate" the seal THEMSELVES: "I heard you give [X] penances".. etc. Not good!

I've actually had parents want to come in an sit WITH their child to make them feel more comfortable! 🤯 ✝️

Capitalism is NOT evil. Here’s why. 🔥

The Church has long defended the right to private property as rooted in human dignity — from St. Thomas Aquinas to Rerum Novarum.

Socialism treats man as a cog in the state machine. Capitalism, guided by moral order, subsidiarity, and the common good has unleashed creativity, lifted the poor and stewarded God’s gifts.
