Brands that Support Abortion. Can Catholics Still Buy?

- Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. summarizes the Catholic Tradition's long studied concept of cooperation with evil. "Can you do a bad thing for a good reason?" "What if the ends justify the means?"
(All the Companies in the Thumbnail have made mention of offering their employees paid travel to access an abortion clinic www.forbes.com/sites/maggiemc...)

I have studied philosophy and I think this moral situation is much more complicated than this video shows. My moral instincts tell me we should be doing a LOT MORE than we are doing to hold these corporations accountable for their bad behavior. If Starbucks today came out against abortion, I guarantee you the leftists would be more passionate in boycotting them than we Catholics are!
Starbucks and other companies not only support abortion but sex change if there is such a thing surgeries, transgenderism. I guess that it is healthy to establish by reason the impact that we have on making businesses profitable that I have already declared their intent in involving themselves in moral evils. It is important also to know our degree off involvement just and I am glad that Fr. covers that also know that there are people that support Starbucks because of their intent so they are outlining their intent with Starbucks and willingly supporting them. In this way we can assess our own intentions and what we will. Some companies are part of huge huge conglomerates and so it is not evident or publicized their intentions. This means that it is not always easy To know what they’re gonna do with the money that we give them.
Also the most intimate relationship that Catholics have with abortion is contraception and if we fail to recognize that we are already contributing to going against the will of God when we justify contraception because God is the God of life and so He will life and contraception
goes directly against the will of God.
Catholics are lukewarm
I've boycotted them for years. Ever since they became part of the anti Christmas brigade.
That’s because it would be easier. They only have to boycott Chik fil a (as difficult as that might be).
I try very hard to stop supporting these brands. But it is unbelievable how many brands are owned by one company.
The difficulty is that often the alternatives are equally 'bad'.
@@harryfaber - could you please elaborate on that with an example or two? Thank you 😊
Our seemingly Capitalistic Western Republic is moreso dominated by an oligarchy of 5 international food corporations & an oligarchy of 5 international Legacy Media corporations. These corps are focused on leftist Values, Trans/Humanism & Globalism. We have an illusion of choice.
yes
Basically every brand is owned by the same people. They have been known to wear small hats and for their love of money, their symbol is the star of David.
There’s very little of that crap you actually need. Disney? Not a need. Starbucks? Not a need.
This is not just about Catholics. It’s about CHRISTIAN people everywhere!
Unfortunately many "christians" nowadays support abortion
I've already been boycotting some of these companies because of Tranning the kids, so just adding more to the list. Small local businesses get my money.
I applaud your thoughtfulness. I have thought about boycotting some myself. The advice a priest gave me recently was to make sure I communicate to whatever company I boycott the reason(s) why I am boycotting.
Be the role model for others, but don't impose your religious beliefs on everyone else. We don't live in a theocracy, thank God!
The solution for companies not "tranning the kids" is for parents to love, teach, encourage, and support them.
Agree. I now boycott Home Depot and Tim Horton (I live in Canada) because of their trans and vxeen.
Me too.
@@mariasoniamoreno3433 Being a role model based on your faith IS imposing your religion on others. We all impose our beliefs on others when we assert what is right and wrong so why shouldn't Christians impose their faith on the world? Aren't we taught to evangelize? How can the world know about Christ if we hide everything about him
Very timely message. Negotiating the mine field of todays society has become increasingly more difficult. Some choices are easy; I can refuse to support Disney. Some choices are not so easy; I must have auto insurance. No choice there or at least any that I have found.
Yeah we’re trying to get away from progressive for that reason. Based on your research which one is the best of the worst?
@@jaypee1060 Sorry, no recommendations. I have 6 weeks before I have to renew, I keep looking.
Get state farm insurance they want to teach kindergartners how to turn themselves into a sodomite
I know of some health insurance that is co-op style. There may be car insurance companies like that too
Auto Owners out of Michigan is a clean, conservative insurance company. It took me months to find them before dumping All state that I was with for over 10 years (before I learned about their unholy use of my money).
I've been cleaning up my spending for over 4 years and I've found that once I got over my sick addiction to the LEBO (least expensive best option) and just focused on honoring the Lord with my spending, the options were more easily found.
Don't jeopardize your walk with Christ to save a few bucks, and don't allow companies to use your money to murder babies or any other all too common nonsense!
In Christ,
Andrew
Thank you Fr Gregory, I'm having a hard time changing my shopping habits and trying to avoid this brands. Especially because in my country I don't have really good additional choices. But whenever I can, I do make the change.
Keep up the good. Please translate this video to spanish🙏 God bless!
I gave up Starbucks and it was hard but my Spiritual advisor helped me! Now I make coffee at home!
And save lots of $$$ win win
Yes and saves lots of MONEY!!💜👏🏼
Yeah. Restaurants are easy to avoid. Cleaning products and food products can be tricky, since so many are owned by few companies
Shop at thrift stores. It supports good causes anyway🙏
Salvation Army is woke.
In my area there are some local Christian thrift stores they have great clean stuff and reasonable prices.!
I don't feel like you answered the question. Can a Catholic buy from companies that support abortion? Take Starbucks for example. There are obviously many other places to get coffee or you could brew your own at home from coffee bought from Catholic Monks. Surely no Catholic is going to buy from Starbucks because they support abortion, but how sinful is laziness or complacency? Especially in the context of abortion.
I feel we should not only be boycotting companies that support abortion (that is the least we can do) but should be actively telling other people not to support them.
Do you have any recommendations on that coffee?
I do that and they continue to buy. All we can do is continue to inform, unfortunately we can’t force them.
MysticMonks coffee is pretty good, I haven't tried the tea though. 🤔
Leave people alone
@@pmsTriix No. Not when they support killing innocent humans.
What makes it more difficult is when you struggle with scrupulosity...then you almost wonder if not worrying about it at all is the better course, lest you go insane.
I struggle with the same! When in doubt talk to an experienced priest and I also find the ten commandments for the scrupulous (written by a priest) super helpful. God bless.
I used to buy Peets Coffee as they were an alternative to Starbucks, but they donated thousands to BLM in 2020 (i confirmed that with thier corporate office) so they probably support PP too and are big lgbt+++++ supporters. Haven't bought thier coffee since, and I buy from local indie shops now. Add them to the boycott list.
Mystic Monk Coffee is where it's at!
@@ash2357577 50 dollars an ounce?
Campbell's, kraft both promoting sodomy and both make products that do not use their names. V8 juice is Campbell's Heinz is owned by Kraft. You could probably put a company into the search along with abortion or homosexuality etc to find out. Nabisco also supports sin
@@ash2357577-don't they a fraud investigation going on? Heard they have a possible abuse issue as well.
@@flameofthewest6196 Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'll have to look into it when I have the time.
This is really helpful. Thanks Matt and Fr. Pine. Keep up the good work.
Know you have eternal life ♥️
1 John 5 KJV

Excellent video. God bless Pints with Aquinas for knowing the videos and answers we, as Catholics, all need right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I listen for your wisdom. You elevate and challenge my intellect❤️ will buy your book and find someone to help me digest it. Prayers always!!!!
I am from Bratislava, Slovakia. So glad to hear the name of my city on one of my favorite channels! God our Lord bless you all 🙏🏼
Keep it simple: in short, avoid those companies as best you can.
no simple is not the way You need to figure out how many degrees you are from the sin then divide that by 2 square the quotient and then name all the degrees so when you are asked you can say.
This way you can gauge how much cooperation with evil you do.
Simple is to easy
@@jacksparrow1057 What????
@@gloriamarquez7999 lol I was being silly. The man in the video was saying something like that. I forget exactly what he said but it was similar to what I said.
It’s almost impossible and can be stressful keeping tabs on all these companies just to avoid buying their products.
I avoided Gillette after their anti men campaign. But their parent company is Proctor and Gamble (who make almost every household product known to man) sure you could go with small independent companies for some stuff but for many it’s not affordable. Very similar to trying to avoid buying Chinese products. In some cases it’s not possible.
In regards to the obsession with “saving the Mother Earth”.
It’s very important to keep in mind that, no we don’t want to maliciously trash the gift of the earth that God gave us, but rather it’s not permanent and won’t last forever. We are not built for this world or this life. The goal is to focus on getting yourself and others to heaven. Not obsessing over being green which just leads many to worshiping the “Mother” Earth rather than God.
Very true. I do not shop at or buy certain products due to their pro-abortion stance but it's impossible to boycott all of them.
I don't think environmentalism is in opposition to Christianity at all, in fact I believe they are in union.
The biggest factors contributing to climate change and pollution are also biggest contributors to the moral decline. I'm talking about the industry and technology which separated us further from nature and thus from the Creator Himself. Back then when people used to live from the land, they worked hard, were charitable and kind, believed in God and had strong moral values
We're meant to be stewards of this world, but yes. Many don't have the right intentions, we're meant use our resources for human flourishing so long as we remain moral.
many people who call themselves environmentalists will proudly tell you that humans are just another animal and that we arent special. If human life isnt uniquely valuable than you can begin to justify many nasty things. Literal satanists also go around with the same rhetoric of "man is just another animal"
@@ivanrenic4243 environmentalism as an idea is very honorable but there are many wolves out there that try to use it to promote strange and evil doctrine. The primary concern should always be human health
As a Protestant, I enjoy most of this channel. However, I think the speaker didn't really address the situation well. In the materialistic cooperation, it's not black and white, but sacrificing to support the better choice most of the time. For example, my family stopped shopping at Target after the transgender restroom issue. Although we like Target because it is very close, we decided to shop at other stores to express our displeasure along with emails to Target executives. In most life situations, it's the matter of choosing brand A vs brand B, not brand A or nothing.
I doubt your boycotting made a difference. But if it makes you feel better, go ahead....
@@queent3343 Really? Target had to rescind its position. Many are stronger than one.. that's one of the reasons why we have "church" which means "assembly".
I have chosen tp ban brands for their abortion support...and written to let them corp. know why! If we did it and let them know we have and why...it does work in good numbers. I do hope you told Target why you are no longer in there.
👍
@@queent3343 lol are you the pervert man that wants to use the woman's restroom at target?
Practice asceticism, just don’t buy more than you absolutely need.
Bingo! Consumerism and materialism in general are sinful.
I think you mean asceticism lol. Aestheticism is an art style.
Best comment on here!
@@DaltonHBrown thanks
Eager to listen. We did boycott a few big places recently and dropped a few subscriptions. Trying to give our money where we can to small town shops. Can’t do it all likely unless God shuts it all down for a bit, but it feels right to have detached from some of our old comfy clingings.
I found this presentation extremely helpful. Thank you. (I am a Seventh-day Adventist.)
Don't be a SDA be a Christian. Some deductive reasoning Why would some woman in 1890 know the "truth" after 1890 years? Christianity was wrong for 1890 yrs?
@@jacksparrow1057 hopefully God will show him the truth that obsessing over 1day over the others is no need to create a whole new religion especially when we have mass everyday
@@ordinary_deepfake lol nicely put yes I agree.
I think maybe we should welcome someone of another faith rather than immediately explain why we think they are wrong. Welcome.
@@hybridkoala We have to tell them they're wrong these non-Catholics are all on their way to Hell and even most Catholics don't make it sadly.
Thanks again Fr. Pine for your clarity. I needed that explanation and example of material cooperation. I stopped working in the film industry for a year because the morals didn’t fulfill the principle of the integral good (as Fr. Ripperger explains) and seeing sacrilegious things on and off the movie sets. After spiritual advice from my traditional pastor and good Thomistic priests like this one, I feel better about serving coffee and sandwiches and not formally cooperating to the evils of the movie industry. With the upcoming financial collapse and recession, I want to be prudent and be at peace that I am not going against God’s will making my living and the money I’m not able to make elsewhere. +amdg
Nice to be able to detect / share in the joy Fr. Pine has from engaging in such complex topics to explain for those of us with less intense theology studies to see how it fits into our world.
Thank you Fr Pine. You explained it beautifully. I agree with another commenter on this thread the Principle of the Integral Good by Fr Ripperger is also another great book to read on this sort of subject. But you explained it very well also. Thank you! To the people watching the video remember the God became man (the Second Person of the Trininty) and even though he lived perfectly and had perfect virtue as well as our Lady, they know the struggles that human beings face daily and how incredibly hard it is to overcome those sort of things in this life. The point is we cannot without the help of God and His grace. Now that does not mean we are not to strive for holiness in every area by trying as much as possible to avoid cooperation with evil. It will take discernment by every person to decide what is actually essential or necessity. Most of the things we believe, especially as Americans, may truly not be necessity. And those things that we think that are necessity and are not really necessity may be the things that we are cooperating with evil and may even be the things that are distracting us from living a life of holiness. One last thing, if you know that a certain company supports murder or any other sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance and they have a certain something that u want but not need, look around for someone else who may have it for maybe a more expensive price. It may take longer to aquire that item and take more work but your soul and conscience will be free from any doubt or scruples. You may even end up appreciating the good God has blessed you with and He also may be increasing you in the virtue of patience.
Thanks so much Father. You really help to edify me! The company I work for supports EVERYTHING. So I try to give back to those organizations I am truly aligned with. God has blessed me but I can always do better with charity. God bless you!
I’ve worked for the same major retail store for over 20 years. I just found out from a friend who (proudly) works at Starbucks that my employer supports Planned Parenthood. I just found out after the overturning of Roe v. Wade and I’m just heartbroken.
Yeah. I heard Macy's supports them.
Please make a reliable list, so we Christians can react.
I tried to add that you can do a w e b s e a r c h and find a list. I believe the Family Research Council has a list online.
Looks like my list got deleted!!!
I found out the national union....AFSCME. Which I am a member. Trying to get out.
Thanks for the talk.
We constantly face situations where we are forced to choose between alternatives, both or all of which involve evil in some way. Then it's a question of working out which choice involves the least evil.
The example about the janitor is off. If the janitor didn’t know that PP killed babies, he’s golden.
But if he did…
And his actions were essential to the operation of PP (they are),
Then he would be complicit with evil. God would will him to have faith and hold out for another job.
St. Maximillian Kolbe, pray for us.
I've read somewhere that big media companies like Warner won't do business in Georgia if Georgia passes the heartbeat law. If anti-life people can boycott places, we prolife people can boycott too, no?
Complex theology AND psychology, with a bout of entertainment !??
Well done.
Thank you, God bless you.
This went over my head real quick and couldnt focus on the content. Thanks for posting, though. Too smart for me for sure
Thank you! P.S. I love how you say "Pints with Aquinas" in an Australian accent!!!
I haven't purchased from Starbucks in years. I knew they were leftist. I just wanted to try it. I would rather support smaller businesses with better coffees anyway.
I'm a crocheter and when I found out Joann's supported the racist group BLM, I full stopped shopping there. Now I purchase from Hobby Lobby.
Good for you!
Excellent! Please do more like this, Father!
Loved the presentation. Its mental pathway shines with clarity proportionately to the speed of your elocution. So, the issue is not clarity, nor speed. The issue is that you have ruminated this topic while some of us are ingesting it for the first time. May I suggest applying the concept of « composite simplicity » by using the type of synchronous doodling used in the C. S. Lewis présentations available on You Tube.

Thank you Father for this wisdom. God bless you and the team and also the Podcast that you and your team are working on. 🙂🙏🏻❤
I actually like king Arthur flour a lot more than Gold medal. Much more consistency and tighter tolerances batch to batch. Okay, now time to watch the rest of the video...
I don’t think my grocery store sells King Arthur, but I bake a lot so now I’ll have to go look for it
King Arthur is actually a much better brand of flour than gold medal. It has a higher protein content in it than the cheaper bread flour and has fewer additives and preservatives. I came here to find a comment about this as an avid bread baker 😂
We need more practical examples. Thanks
You won't get more practical examples. That is not what this video is about. It is about you making moral choices on what you purchase that are best in saving mama Gaia. Moral choices that burn less fossil fuels.
@@jacksparrow1057 wrong and wrong
It's about how not to support abortion.
@@redpoppy3569 don't say wrong wrong. 9:00 save mama Gaia. Drive your car and burn fossil fuels venial sin. Less fossil fuels destroys ozone Mortal Sin. 9:23 Use flights google to help you make your MORAL choice in the best travel itinerary that uses less carbon. Moral choice? Ecological impact? Is ecological impact just as bad as Slaughtering the Innocence? Gregory Pine seems to think it is. 17:23 sometimes Christians have to Co operate with UNethically sound biotech firms. Biotech firms the ones that produce vaccines that contain Slaughtered Innocence remains and mRNA microchips. Biotech firms that genetically modify God's food supply.
@@jacksparrow1057 wrong wrong wrong .....
gaia is from satan. God rules. And if Catholics are obsessed or confused re ecology, they need to be guided. I'm a Catholic for over half a century. We're not here to save the planet. The supreme law is the salvation of souls PERIOD
@@jacksparrow1057 who cares what he 'thinks'
I care what God orders.
If all Catholics chose to not support these products, in a short time we could turn the tide. But we make excuse. Did God really say??? Think about it, if we all boycotted the Super Bowl and sacrificed fun in the moment , because we wanted nothing to do with the obscene halftime show that has nothing to do with sports and is actually ritualistic occultism, including turning off the boob tube, we'd hit them in the pocketbook and the invisible hand guided by greed would respond. Too many justify they are the janitor but in reality they are making a choice to look the other way. And so we are the slow cooked fogs who have been sitting in the slowly boiling water for decades only now to realize we are cooked.
Thank you Padre. You did a good job explaining a complex concept in an understandable way.
Thank you so much Fr. Gregory and Bro.Matt!
Gregory Pine is not a priest.
Boycotts are useless unless people tell the company they are doing it...and why.
DO NOT email them. What percent of your emails do you read?
A handwritten envelope usually gets opened. The letter should be short,sharp and icily polite.
Companies do not care why you are boycotting. Boycotts are not useless writing letters are useless.
Campbell's soup put a commercial out ath Christmas time where 2 sodomites are giving Campbell's soup to their "adopted" 4 year old boy. Campbell's response to all those that complained was Drop dead we love our sodomites
Thank you Fr Pine! You're explanation is fine as it is. 🙂 God bless you and keep you
A good piece of advice is to start buying used goods as much as possible! I thrift my entire wardrobe. That is a way to save money and not give your money to many of these companies since the goods were already purchased new at a different time.
This presentation is much needed, for those of us who, like myself, do our heads in trying to avoid doing any business with these companies. It’s near to impossible. We can do as much as we can but it’s not always possible to boycott these companies, and their heinous deeds, entirely. I will be sharing this far and wide and always maintain absolute necessity over vanity, when purchasing. Thank you, Father. 🙏🏻
He puts burning fossil fuels on the same level as Slaughter of the Innocence
@Cardboard Cape that's what all children of darkness say
@Follow God no. He gave the website that tells you the best way to go that has the least amount of ecological impact on the environment and for you to make the best MORAL choice 9:00 later he says we have to make a moral choice on unethically biotech firms. They make GMO foods mRNA murdered baby remains vaccine 17:24
@Cardboard Cape maybe I misunderstood you. Did you say burning fossil fuels is nearly as bad as the Slaughter of the Innocence?
@Cardboard Cape you are not a Christian. Green peace is from Satan and all those who believe in this religion of Satan are of Satan. God is going to end this world and nobody has the power to change this
Thank you Fr Pines!!!
😁thank you Fr. Pine
What I heard was .... if you must buy goods or services from a company that supports an evil outcome,, it's acceptable as long as you aren't in agreement with the company's choice to support the evil ... however we should be seeking to support companies... or services ..... that do not support the evil outcome to begin with ...
That makes so much sense!
Doug Scott used to have a research company investigating many companies - to have them verify their involvement in abortion. He did great work.
Let’s avoid these companies if alternatives are available , am I not right?
It's not enough to boycott these companies. We have to email/snail mail them so that they know they're no longer going to be subsidized with our money and why.
waste of time and money they don't care
I do my best to support companies that are pro-life. It takes a hella effort to adjust and opt for alternatives, but i have to do my part.
I was literally just thinking about this as I visited molly moon’s ice cream and saw that their seasonal flavors sales gave 10% to lgbtq organizations. Made me stop and wonder.
Thank you Father!
Thank you Fr. Pine…You are always a wealth of information for me :-) God bless you and prayers for your dissertation.
This is great! Thank you!
I like how TH-cam put a context warning on this video. Is TH-cam a necessary evil to learn the good given this?
I prefer to buy my morning coffee and food from small business in my neighborhood where sometimes I can talk to the owner and their workers who try to do their best to keep their clients with a big smile.
i am finishing my subscription with disneyplus, that i can do. thanks for the video, clear message there. We can do what we can not to support any company out there..
Father, your arguments completely break down in light of the sin of omission. We can not in good conscience actively or passively cooperate in evil acts no matter how remote or proximate they are without them negatively impacting us and others in some way. We almost always have the choice to say "no" by not purchasing the product and purchasing another from someone else or doing without. It takes work and a great deal of patience, perseverance, and discipleship but it can be done.
In Christ,
Andrew
If you listen again you will see his concern is not about the Slaughter of Innocence but about burning less fossil fuel and saving mama Gaia. This is the new Catholicism save the Earth. Burn fossil fuel then there is less fossil
fuel. A venial Sin Not co operating with burning less fossil fuel is a Mortal Sin you help destroy the ozone. He gives the website that tells you the best way to travel that uses less carbon footprints. 16:38 ...sometimes it will be permissible that you cooperate with an
evil.
...We don't want to get completely enmeshed in the type of
activity which has us on the outskirts of evil city. Why not? Why types of activity gets a Christian on the outskirts of evil city ? Protesting the Slaughter of the Innocence ?
We as Christians want to be building up a culture
(liberal buzzword) of life.
Sometimes that will mean re-evaluating
institutions. Re-evaluating relationships. That might mean that it is time to begin, (dramatic deep breath here it comes) UNETHICALLY SOUND you know like biotech firms so that you can produce
x, y, or z products in accord with you know, healthy, safe, good. You
know like, morally coherent types of processes things like that.
Begin supporting UNETHICAL biotech firms you know like um J&J, Pfizer, Slaughtered Innocence vaccines. Or Moderna with the mRNA microchip vaccines. You know morally coherent. Unethical biotech firms making morally coherent healthy, safe, good products?
This is a well rehearsed script. The "you knows" and "ums" the deep breaths are part of his script.
Brands that Support Abortion. Can Catholics Still Buy? Is a cover to what he really wants to say. He puts burning fossil fuels on the same level of "Morally Wrong" as the Slaughter of the Innocence.
When he travels he uses the website that tells him which itinerary to take that uses the least amount of carbon footprint. So he can make a MORAL choice. His words. 9:25
Thank you for your video. I felt that you really set up the video well. I wish you could have walked with us a bit more in thinking just how morally corrupt our soul will be in making the choices to stay invested with such firms. Are we part of the problem if we do not cancel Netflix, Disney Plus etc? Are we the Janitor if we were to go into Starbucks, or did we just cosign on their act. I really love the question, and I think it should be explored further. Thank you.
If you willingly give support to known companies who promote sin then you are the doctor and not the janitor. This nonsense well I really like netflix and it is not because they teach little girls how to be whores. So my intentions to buy netflix is not intended for turning little girls into whores so I am clear. Whew so glad I can keep netflix. Good show on disney plus. Yoda turns 5
Once principle I've seen is "don't give money to people who hate you." One light to guide by.
Yes but I am curious if you saw that principal in this video. Because I saw in this video was the opposite. 17:24 That might mean that it is time to begin,

Not sure what tail you're chasing with the unthically sound stuff, I didn't catch or say anything about it. Go find a theologian in a wargaming club and see what he has to say about it.
@@jackr2287 That is what the timestamp is for. I don't what you are ranting about in this comment. Are you mixing reality with your x box war games ?
You forgot General Mills' support for Planned Parenthood. Haven't eaten TOTAL cereal since 1994. I liked it too.
Love your talks 🕊🙏🏻🌷
The path I take is following my informed conscience. My informed conscience is telling me to not give money to companies that go against my faith and informed conscience.
This is really good!! The janitor could, in fact, bless that place by praying there 🙏, but yes of topic really... Faith..& reason...& the importance of knowing God, others & ourselves!!
Little-by-little I am starting to stop shopping at places that support abortion. I unsubscribe from getting emails from Dicks Sporting Goods and Zillow. I don't buy from Amazon, so I'm good. No Starbucks. Energizer batteries. No Pepsi. I do bank with Wells Fargo and my insurance is with Libery Mutual. And the both fund abortion.
Hello Father! Consider getting an illustrator or animator for these kinds of videos to have some graphics to show and make the concepts easier to understand. May God guide you!
Would it be possible for Fr. Pine to make a video on praying the rosary?
I think we have to dig deeper than mere boycotting. The problem is too large to have any impact that way. We need to make abortion and rampant sex outside-of-marriage unfashionable. Fads speaks louder than almost anything else in this culture.
Yeey, Slovakia, Bratislava mentioned here:) there are Dominicans in Slovakia too.
Greetings from 🇸🇰🙏
Father Gregory, thanks for the lecture. Please do a lecture on Apostasy and the consequences of it to our spiritual life. Thank you and God bless.
Thank you, Fr. Pine. this is yet another sad subject matter that continues to baffle my sense of logic. Killing is wrong...simple. Judging others is wrong...straight forward. And yet we ignore the plights of millions of refugees and destitute...racism and homelessness. The planet's environment is deteriorating.
The reason it baffles your sense of logic is because you have no sense and you have no logic. You are an automaton zombie who is goose-stepping to the beat of the New World Order drums. Contrary to what you believe you are not a Christian.
Janitor can clean other businesses. Cleaning keeps their work flowing. Cleaning is basic necessity for all businesses so anyone will hire him. Abortion is necessary for him to keep his job. PP's main job is abortion. And they make big bucks. They insist on abortion remaining legal. Now if he was a janitor for a hospital or private practice then his involvement would be more remote since hospitals exist for many purposes and private practice provides many services.
Janitor can get food stamps and go to food pantries so we don't need to be heathens.
Immigrants get plenty of help. I'm stranded but native NYer and can't get job bc of covid mandates. I'm suffering in a physically painful job and belong in an office. It's immoral for Catholics to support covid mandates and lockdown and democrat politicians.
That was in fact.... fascinating.
So, Microsoft and Apple...dare I say is TH-cam has a similar policy?? We're all remote co-operators just by watching your videos Fr Pine!
One of these days we'll have to stop using Google services... Yep, they are on the list too.
King Arthur flour is superior to Gold Medal anyway. Great video father
its not good to shop at Starbucks for moral reasons. not to mention the drinks are outrageously priced.
TH-cam inserted a gross ad for an oral care product, probably because you mentioned brushing your teeth, but 3 Aves for you anyway Father 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻
Hi there, on important things like this could you maybe please print out a short answer in the description box as a yes or no or short answer? Is that possible?
Great video! Very useful!
Anyway, just want to pass along an interesting little observation by Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet's partner, and someone who knows a thing or two about how the world works. He said that everybody thinks that what motivates the world is greed. He said it's not. It's ENVY!
Was hoping you would have a list of products/services that I should avoid? Sorry to be a pain. God Bless. Keep up the good work. My son and I will pray for you.
As catholics we often seem desperate to be told what to do. My understanding is that our Lord calls us to be in the world but not of the world. Disentangling ourselves entirely from the world in terms of what we eat drink etc doesn't seem achievable.. just my opinion
Its really simple. You have a choice what to do with your own personal actions, not others' actions. You do not commit abortion just because you buy a coffee from a company that supports woke causes and pro-choice political donations.
Although you may conscientiously decide it is not good to continue shopping there because you do not want to enable someone else's mortal sin by your spending habits.
I already sent an email to Chobani that I will not be buying their product until they knock off the abortion support. And I buy a lot of yogurt!
So the simple answer seems to avoid companies that support abortion when possible.
Yes, I felt it was a bit difficult to follow your talk. Thank you for trying.
Dr Ryan Hanley, University of Exeter researched slavery abolitionist tactics. These included sugar boycotts by children 1790-1830s. Out of the mouth of babes.
My rule of thumb is that if it's not a grocery store, pharmacy, or hospital, if they support abortion, you should avoid at all costs.
Starbucks for example you can avoid. Go to Dunkin Donuts instead. Or better yet, make your coffee at home or at the office.
Thanks for the video
If you don't buy products you don't eat & you don't drink Most companies are idiots
The explanation was helpful overall, but I would suggest, going forward, to give clear examples that resonates with modern society. For example, watching movies or TV shows isn’t intrinsically evil. The intent to watch these shows on Netflix or Disney+ also is not intrinsically evil. However, if knowledge that these streaming services support intrinsically evil acts such as abortion or same sex indoctrination is thrown into the mix, that knowledge now produces a moral dilemma where Christians must make a choice whether or not to cooperate with evil to some degree. Reaching that conclusion is not difficult. It’s the many layers of cooperation that muddles the moral waters. The bottom line is, if you know a company willingly cooperates with evil and you say, “Oh well, I don’t care,” then you are willingly cooperating with evil. If you want a cup of coffee, and Starbucks is the ONLY place in town to get it, you’re not necessarily cooperating with evil because you don’t will it. It helps to have a list of companies, but it’s becoming more and more clear that eventually we will unwittingly and unwillingly cooperate in some form in today’s society. Stay vigilant.
I would say no unless you actively support the company and it’s cause to support gravely sinful acts such abortion. That’s will and intent.
Have I heard Bratislava ? You were in Slovakia ? How do I do not know that ?! Are you planning to travel to Slovakia in near future ? If yes, I will buy the train ticket right now xD. Love your work and greetings from Slovakia !
Great video!
So it's degrees of separation and the will of the heart at any of those degrees.
You can avoid funding globalhomo AND save money by just buying store brand in most cases. Most grocery stores haven't gotten woke yet.
I disagree. Kroger is the 3rd largest grocery chain in USA and they will cover abortion costs. Walmart is working on a response which shows me that they will pay something. And of course all the Amazon stores fund it
@@kevinpankanin6222 well that's why you gotta go more local. Like for Texans, H-E-B has stayed out of woke economics
I’ve heard from workers at Winco that their name brand stuff is just repackaged by a brand they pay for. Not sure how accurate that it, but I thought it was interesting
Sadly doesn't work when you live in ultra-progressive west coast Canada....
Store brands don't resolve this, they just remove it by one step of ignorance. Private brands are merely repackaged products that may or may not have slight ingredient changes compared to the big brand manufacturers' product. While you don't neccesarily know who the manufacture is, you can have confidence that it is NOT your local grocer.
