S1E79 - Contraception is a Sneaky Little Liar

10/16/23 • 67 min

Today, we read CCC, 2360 - 2400 and finish our discussion of the 6th Commandment. Two dimensions of today's discussion include, on the one hand, avoiding having children through the use of contraception, and, on the other hand, trying to achieve pregnancy through a variety of fertility procedures. We chat about what these human acts do to marriage, family, and the lives of children.

S1E78 - The 6th Commandment: Chastity Puts Us Back Together

Today, we read CCC, 2337 - 2359 and discuss the 6th Commandment: "You Shall Not Commit Adultery." The virtue of chastity is often viewed as repressive... boring... and just. not. fun. In reality, the virtue of chastity - after having fallen apart, thanks to Original Sin - puts the pieces of our humanity back together. "Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being." Who doesn't want a little inner unity in one's life?!

S1E80 - The 7th Commandment: Stewards Needed

Today, we read CCC, 2401 - 2463 and discuss the 7th Commandment: "Thou shall not steal." This commandment "requires respect for the universal destination of goods and respect for the right to private property." Sooo, share that which we own with everyone...? Yup. Aaaand, it's okay for me to privately own things and share them with my family and friends...? You got it. The beauty of the Catholic "both/and" approach strikes again!
