You are probably my favorite priest of all. Thank you for the insights, father.
Father Pine, Thank you for caring about #1.God, #2. us fellow humans, enough to share your love, knowledge, and insight. I am grateful and joy in your existence. Your teachings illuminates, expands the mental/spiritual life through instruction per Scriptures, truth, love. Sometimes my brain aches wrestling with and sorting through all you teach, but that's OK...no pain no gain. Prayers for you as you grieve your mother and persevere in writing your doctorate.
"Hello to our animal viewers."
My cat felt called out.
It's rather funny that this persists in common thought, given the exalted opinion of science today. Scientists will argue to the death (figuratively) what a scientific truth is but no one thinks that there is anything other than one truth. In our laboratory, a popular phrase when we are stumped by an apparent contradiction in our data--"there is only 1 truth; we just don't know what it is." What's more amazing, we find, is that when we figure out what is actually going on, the apparent contradictions resolves.
Rough beginning but a pragmatic response to the question. Relativism sticks around out of fear to offend and be kind to others. Those intentions are practiced, not merely theoretical in a philosophy course. One can practice relativism without claiming it.
Is Fr. Pine a regular contributor to PwA now? That would be amazing
Matt and Father are homies.
Very interesting insights, father. Will use them with relativistic friends
I have friends who are quick to say, "My Bible says..." Is this relativism? Is this just preferring one translation over another? Is that relativism?
No, that's reductivity. Reducing all truth to just the Bible. What about logic, the Natural Law? What about history, philosophy, arts, which also informs us of the truth? Tradition, metaphysics. Truth encompasses all aspects of reality. And reductivity only gives you a small portion of it and leaves out a whole lot more.
You briefly mentioned it. What does liberty mean for a Catholic?
Doing God's will, always choosing good and cooperating with Grace.
@Italo Dant Grazie infinite
@@ninodjuras Thanks
Interesting how he quoted von Balthasar. I’ve been getting into his works recently. I’m really appreciative of PWA and Fr. Pine for all they do!
No such thing as "your truth."
Murder is wrong.
Executions are hardly murders.
Wars tend to be fought over unjust reasons, but as a defender or someone preemptively attacks an aggressive nation making moves, I can see the justificiation.
Brian's Holdsworth wants to talk to you about the 'wise' phone topic. Invite him on, please, mate.
Hello pints with Aquinas, I keep hearing ppl say that humans are more exalted than animals. This is defended by saying that, 'Humans are made of both body and soul(spiritual soul), while animals don't have the latter. How did we determine all these. How did we determine that animals don't have the capacity for God ( freely choosing to worship God) ?
I am so grateful for PWA, the Thomistic Institute presentations and the works of Tolkein. During the Time Of The mask l see things are not relative. The germ did not hold me captive.
no relativism says any truth you think is true down deep in yourself is true.. more like any ego you have which knows which truth to feed ego will meet your desires and wants… ya that is relativistic truth.. i call designer truth for designer clergy and people in the fashion of the designer world ..
the only truth is that JAH The Father resurrected his son Jesus. Acts 5:30 Galatians 1:1
How Buddhism is different from Catholicism...??
That's a questions that requires more than a sentence to answer. However, what A Concerned Catholic and LaserVelociraptor posted is correct. The hedge of "kind of" is appropriate because Buddhism (generally) isn't interested in belief per se, nor is the philosophical question of whether there is a creator god. In addition, the concept of God was different for the Buddha than it is for monotheists.
Differences can be discovered in their goals. Buddhism is nirvana which is total detachment from all desires to become one with the universe (pantheism), really disappearing as an individual. Catholicism is to go to heaven and see God face to face (beatific vision), which is to say see truth, goodness, and beauty in the face and love God and neighbor for eternity. "And the greatest of these is love," which is eternal. (faith and hope disappear in heaven) We ultimately desire God. We will ultimately be a glorified (heaven) or putrid (hell) body and soul ("embodied soul" of JPII) for eternity.
Jesus Christ, the center of Catholicism makes the difference. Also, Jesus established the Catholic church, the papacy and Catholicism, Jesus didn't established Buddhism
@@gerrym91 The problem with your description is that there are misconceptions of nirvana, becoming "one," and disappearing as an individual. Buddhism is non-dualistic so there is no becoming one with the universe. We already are one and the one, in certain sects of Buddhism, is understood as the fertile void. Which is to say, form and emptiness exist as an endless cycle and are aspects of the same reality. Like an ocean and its waves. Form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. There is no "disappearing as an individual." A person is an individual in that they an aggregate of aspects including, in modern terms, individual genes. A person is a particular form or to put it in Christian terms, a logos. That is different than the experience of being a self. There is no self in Buddhism to disappear. The perception that you are a self is an illusion. That perception is simply a cluster of feelings and thoughts that arise in any given moment. The passive voice is useful here: Feelings are being experienced; thoughts are being experienced. If a person becomes intimately aware as it arises moment to moment, a person realizes the truth of this claim. A person can become awake to this, enlightened, to this fact in his or her life time. That is the project of Zen and other sects of Buddhism. One of the bridges to Buddhism through Catholicism is St. John of the Cross' apophatic mysticism with his concept (or better the experience of) "nada" (nothing) it is a goal for St. John as a means to experience the infinite, God. Concepts of mysticism in Catholicism (Orthodox as well) of apophatic mysticism and kataphatic mysticism are essential here. Buddhism falls in apophatic mysticism with the caveat that, yes it doesn't incorporate a personal creator God. The goal for the Buddhist is to realize his or her Buddha nature (that there is no self), live in the here and now (behold the lilies of the field), to be filled with compassion (a consequence and aspect of enlightenment) for other living things. The iconography of some Buddhism is filled with compassion, love, beauty, etc. Kannon is the Buddha of Compassion. Buddhism has a form of meditation called Metta (loving kindness). The purpose of Buddhism is not nihilism and it is not to become an empty shell in a state called Nirvana.
@@carolynkimberly4021 What is demonic about it? Rather than condemning a religion that you don't belong to, investigating what it exactly is about and discovering how it overlaps with Catholicism would be in line with Aquinas who did not straw man positions. He would present the strongest arguments for atheism. This is also in line with the Church I assume you belong to, the Catholic Church.
Father you speak too fast, please speak slowly: the topics you are illustrating need to be understood and think about it
If you use the settings, you can show him down to .75 speed and he still sounds pretty normal. I don't think most people can easily change how fast they speak.
Pastoral Spanish,😂. The person who thought that up had obviously never spoken any language but English, and possibly that not very well.
