This was a talk I gave for the Armor of God Men's Group on April 20th, 2023 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church's Life Center. In it I go over what fasting is, giving definitions and explanations from Aquinas, De Sales, and Benedict XVI. I also give a history of the Church's fasting disciplines from the Old Testament to the present day. Lastly, I offer some reflections on how these previous disciplines can spur us on to fast with more intentionality today.

Particularly, my claim that "the Novus Ordo breeds chaos" is not a hill I am willing to die on, and also needs to be understood in its context. It is a statement that sounds harsh, but the word "chaos" is used in a particular way, meaning that the Novus Ordo seems to err on the side of "de-rubricization" or "de-regulation." I view this as a flaw in the way that the Novus Ordo was constructed.  I also view the fact that the Novus Ordo can be factually considered to have been "constructed by a committee" to be an unfortunate reality of history that is not in the Novus Ordo's favor. www.catholicisminthecar.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parker-zurbuch6/support

In this episode we discuss the social issue of Homosexuality. NOTE: While it is (strictly-speaking) not sinful for two persons of the same sex to live together, as long as they do not act out sexually with each other -- even if they had been in an erotic relationship previously -- it very well may be the "near occasion of sin." In which case, it would not be PRUDENT for the two persons to live under the same roof. "Lest the dog return to his vomit" (Proverbs 26:11). This situation would need to be one where consultation with one's pastor would be necessary. Again, strictly-speaking, it is not sinful for two persons of the same sex to live under one roof -- even if they had been in an erotic relationship in the past; however, it may not be a prudent thing for them to do and may be the near occasion of sin. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/parker-zurbuch6/support

In this episode, we discuss the social issue of Gun Control. I am still working out my exact view on this issue, but it seems to me that there are three (3) main principles regarding Gun Control: 1. People have a right to defend themselves. 2. Someone who cannot properly and safely use a gun should not be allowed to use/own one. 3. Guns used for farming, hunting, etc. should always be allowed for human survival and flourishing. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Website: www.catholicisminthecar.com If you wish to SUPPORT our work, you can visit: https://www.catholicisminthecar.com/support Podpage: https://www.podpage.com/catholicism-in-the-car/ Find Catholicism in the Car on: Anchor, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Audible, Amazon Music, Castbox, Radio Republic, Player FM, and Stitcher.
