My friend Barry Ritholtz has spent his career being an astute market observer, investigating behavioral finance and data analytics. He runs Ritholtz Wealth Management which has been named ETF Advisor of the Year, Financial Times Top 300 Advisors, and one of America's fastest-growing RIAs. He's also the host of Masters in Business, Bloomberg Radio's most popular podcast (50+ million streams/downloads), which he started way back in 2014.

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora and Seth “Creek” Creekmore explore a list of books that have had the biggest influence on Mario and the way he thinks about the Enneagram. Even though none of the books are about the Enneagram, they have influenced how Mario thinks about concepts, such as cognitive dissonance and social psychology.TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:04] Knowledge is power[07:09] Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)[11:34] The Demon-Haunted World[22:42] Philosophy and the Real World[25:58] The Selfish Gene[36:13] Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind[39:20] Sacred World[44:47] The Essential Drucker[56:44] Other book recommendations[59:29] OutroConnect with us:Awareness to ActionEnneagram on DemandIG: @ataenneagrampodEmail: info@awarenesstoaction.comSend a voice message: speakpipe.com/AwarenesstoActionBooks:Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me) by Carol Tavris and Elliot AronsonThe Demon-Haunted World by Carl SaganPhilosophy and the Real World: An Introduction to Karl Popper by Brian MageeThe Selfish Gene by Richard DawkinsZen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryū SuzukiSacred World: The Shambhala Way to Gentleness, Bravery, and Power by Jeremy and Karen HaywardThe Essential Drucker by Peter DruckerThe Wisest One in the Room: How You Can Benefit from Social Psychology's Most Powerful Insights by Thomas Gilovich and Lee RossHow We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life by Thomas GilovichPsychology of Intelligence Analysis by Richards HeuerThe Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch

In this thought-provoking episode of Balancing the Christian Life, Dr. Kenny Embry engages in a conversation with Tommy Humphries, a college professor at Saint Leo University, about the existence and character of God. They delve into the complexities of belief, drawing parallels between faith and marriage, and explore the transformative power of love in the Christian journey. Join them as they navigate through questions of doubt, the limitations of human understanding, and the pursuit of a deeper relationship with God.Key Takeaways:Simple but Complicated: The question of God's existence is foundational to Christianity, but it's more complex than a simple yes or no.God as Love: Tommy believes God is love, and you can't talk about God without talking about love.Human Reason & Faith: Both human reason and faith play a role in understanding God. Even atheists and theists can have similar views if terms are clarified.Doubt and Faith: Doubt is part of the human experience, even for Christians. A lack of doubt can be a sign of shallow thinking.Marriage as an Analogy: Both marriage and faith involve commitment before full understanding and deepening of the relationship over time.God's Character: Believing in God involves understanding His character, not just acknowledging His existence.Love as the Core: Love is the greatest of all virtues, and the ultimate goal is to become a perfect lover of God and neighbor.Good of Believing in God: Belief opens us to a deeper understanding of the world and a transformative relationship with God.Memorable Quotes:"I became a Christian for very different reasons than I stay a Christian, because I think the reason I became a Christian was to escape hell. But I don't stay a Christian to escape hell." - Kenny Embry"God is love, and the heart of love is the ability to give yourself completely to another for their good." - Tommy Humphries"The real work of a theologian is to present a love which cannot be deconstructed." - Bishop Daniel Flores"Faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13Call to Action:Sign up for the free Balancing the Christian Life conference.Additional Notes:Dr. Kenny Embry is a conservative church of Christ member and communication professor.Tommy Humphries is a Catholic and a college professor.The conversation explored the complexities of belief in God, the nature of faith, and the importance of love in the Christian life.Dr. Embry emphasizes the importance of learning from people with different perspectives.Remember to be good and do good.If you would like to sign up for the 2024 Balancing the Christian Life Conference, go to www.balancingthechristianlife.com and click the menu at the top.Support the show

Jesus said that if we abide in His word, we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. In our day, though, it's popular not only to deny Jesus' word, but to deny our ability to know the truth at all. And yet the Catholic Church proclaims -- as she always has -- that reason is a gift from God by which we can indeed know the nature of reality and what it means. That's what Dr. Chris talks about in this episode of Ignition. Enjoy!

In which we are joined by Ezri of Swampside Chats, to continue our discussion of "Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgement to Calculation" by Joseph Weizenbaum. In this episode we cover the third an fourth chapters of the book. Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation (1976) by Joseph Weizenbaum displays the author's ambivalence towards computer technology and lays out the case that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions because computers will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom. Weizenbaum makes the crucial distinction between deciding and choosing. Deciding is a computational activity, something that can ultimately be programmed. It is the capacity to choose that ultimately makes one a human being. Choice, however, is the product of judgment, not calculation. Comprehensive human judgment is able to include non-mathematical factors such as emotions. Judgment can compare apples and oranges, and can do so without quantifying each fruit type and then reductively quantifying each to factors necessary for mathematical comparison.

Part of the broader witch hunts that swept across Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Basque witch trials unfolded much like their counterparts elsewhere. However, these witch trials were halted by an unlikely hero: a member of the Spanish Inquisition. In this episode, I bring you the story of the Basque witch trials and the inquisitor who put a stop to them.  Researched, written, and produced by Corinne Wieben, with original music by Purple Planet.  Episode sources  Support the showEnchantedPodcast.netFacebook/enchantedpodcastInstagram/enchantedpodcastTumblr/enchantedpodcast

In this episode of the Awareness to Action Enneagram podcast, Mario Sikora, María José Munita and Seth "Creek" Creekmore address listeners' concerns and feedback on centers and provide a further explanation of what ATA teaches instead. They discuss how they address emotional intelligence with their clients and within their own understanding of human nature.“Now again, emotions and feelings are the data that we have to think about in the context of our environment.” -Mario [17:28]“My thinking skills allow me to not fool myself with a bad narrative. With those feelings, we will explain them somehow, that's for sure. Now, those explanations, the better they are, the more effective we'll be in moving forward. So we need to learn to interpret our feelings, to know ourselves the best way we can, to see how we're fooling ourselves, and that we have to do through thinking.” -María José [18:46]“I do sense like this thing that I hear constantly, as if processing emotions has nothing to do with thinking or your brain. No, it has everything to do with your brain.” -Creek [20:54]TIMESTAMPS[00:01] Intro[02:09] A few responses to past episodes[04:34] A brief history of these concepts[10:40] Understanding & processing emotions[22:32] Books recommendations[24:57] Data vs experience[26:40] Another angle the centers are used[33:36] OutroHere is a list of some of our current favorite resources on thinking, sensing/feeling, and emotion:Clear Thinking Resources:“Mistakes were made… (but not by me)” by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson“The Wisest One in the Room: How You Can Benefit from Social Psychology's Most Powerful Insights” by Thomas Gilovich and Lee Ross (also, “How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life”)“Thinking 101: How to Reason Better to Live Better” by Woo-Kyoung Ahn“Clear Thinking: Turning Ordinary Moments into Extraordinary Results” and the The Knowledge Project Podcast by Shane Parrish“How to Think Well, and Why: The Awareness to Action Guide to Clear Thinking” by Mario Sikora On emotion and the brain:“Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain” and “How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain” by Lisa Feldman BarrettSpeaking of Psychology : “Your Brain Is Not What You Think It Is, with Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD”The Knowledge Project Podcast: #92 Lisa Feldman Barrett: Balancing the Brain BudgetHuberman Lab:

Is the smartest person in the room also the wisest? Not necessarily. So what does it mean to be wise, and how do you go about finding that wisdom in life? Thomas Gilovich is the Irene Blecker Rosenfeld Professor of Psychology at Cornell University. His work in social psychology includes the key textbook in the field, and has written books that touch on topics such as behavioral economics and the fallibility of human reason.Thomas and Greg discuss what it means to truly be wise, whether or not more wisdom leads to more happiness in life, and how to train ourselves to see beyond our subjective perception of the world. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Should we start with an understanding of the self in order to gain a better understanding of other people?54:05: We have this great capacity to zoom in, zoom out, look at things from a variety of different angles. And, if you do that well, that's going to give you a better understanding of other people and a better understanding of yourself. So, let's look at it from my perspective. Let's look at it from their perspective, and so on. That is part and parcel of what wisdom is—turning things around to look at a hard problem from a variety of different angles. And, if that's a big component of wisdom, it would be surprising if wisdom was located in one area rather than the other.Wisdom is where rational understanding meets human insights03:45: To be wise and effective in this world means that you need to understand all that we've learned about rational choice, logic, etc., and combine that with knowledge of people.Why construal principle is a big component of wisdom25:26: One of the biggest principles of social psychology is the so-called "construal principle," which is that there's a reality out there. But we don't respond to that reality. We respond to how we interpret that reality. And knowing that's what we're reacting to is a big component of wisdom; it allows us to understand where other people are coming from, especially when their behavior on the surface immediately may not make sense to us. So, what does it mean to them that they're reacting that way? It's a big part of wisdom.Considering happiness as a talent, not just a trait34:35: We think of happiness as a trait, which at some level of description it is, but maybe it's better to think of it as a talent: happy people have the talent to make all these mental moves and arrange their lives in such a way that they will be happier.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Solomon AschGeorge Carlin - Idiot and ManiacLeon FestingerThe Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom by Jonathan HaidtHappy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design by Charles MontgomeryKurt LewinDaniel KahnemanThe Replication CrisisGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Cornell UniversityAuthor's Profile at SageThomas Gilovich on LinkedInHis Work:Social Psychology (6th Edition)Heuristics and Biases: The Psychology of Intuitive JudgmentHow We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday LifeWhy Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes And How To Correct Them: Lessons From The New Science Of Behavioral EconomicsThe Wisest One in the Room: How You Can Benefit from Social Psychology's Most Powerful InsightsMore scholarly articles 

Einstein teria dito que o budismo é a religião do futuro. Será mesmo que ele disse isso? E se disse, será que o budismo a que ele tinha acesso podia ser entendido além de um viés colonialista? Além disto, o que ele pensava realmente sobre ciência e religião é compatível mesmo com o budismo? O que o hype com a inteligência artificial tem a ver com tudo isso?

In this second look at the words of Kohelet, -The Preacher-, we see how nothing makes sense in this world and there is not much we can do about it. Immersing yourself in a cause, no matter how good it is, will bring frustration. It is better to throw yourself into the cause of the gospel, something which has real and everlasting meaning.

Thomistic scholar and author, Rev. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., delivered the annual St. Thomas Aquinas Lecture on January 28, 2013 at Christendom College. The talk explored the doctrine of the resurrection of the body and its influence on philosophical thought. Delving into the thought of modern philosophers on the relation of the body to the soul and Pope Benedict XVI's response to them, Fr. White demonstrated that it was philosophically natural to hope in the resurrection from the dead.

Delving into the thought of modern philosophers on the relation of the body to the soul and Pope Benedict XVI's response to them, Fr. White demonstrated that it was philosophically natural to hope in the resurrection from the dead.

Before we get to Social Justice, however, we need to go to the place from where Social Justice, a blanket term to cover a variety of Critical Theory Tenets, hails. The Frankfurt School or the Institute for Social Research was founded shortly after WWI in 1923 and was largely influenced by the works of Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, George Hegel and other Atheistic Philosophers of the 19th Century. Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and Herbert Marcuse were three of the leading minds, among others in the Frankfurt School. They believed that: “Mass Culture (and subsequently, what we know today as Popular Culture) should, according to them, be rescued from the stigma of crude banality into a valuable and worthy expression of real world experience.” They set about the task of reevaluating Marx's theory that Capitalist Society would collapse and a Communistic Revolution would take its place in a new utopia. Upon the failure of Marx's prediction, the Frankfurt School folks, started to rebrand the movement with Legal Theory, Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory, and Post-Colonialism. But before we get to them, let's remind ourselves who these Frankfurt School folks idolized and what they're teachers thought. Freud was of the opinion that God's Plan for sexuality was restrictive in his book “Civilization and It's Discontents”. Karl Marx hypothesized that Work was inherently exploitative of the workers, and those who had money to hire people were inherently evil, or at least at odds with those who had to work. (Now, Marx's mother has been quoted saying: “If only Karl had made capital instead of writing about it!") It's difficult to not succumb to ad hominem here, but Marx was also a racist with the Hispanic, Jew, and African below his nose. In a quote from a Panama City News Herald article compiling Marx's unsavory remarks he is quotes as such: “When the U.S. annexed California after the Mexican-American War, Marx wrote: "Without violence nothing is ever accomplished in history." Then he asked, "Is it a misfortune that magnificent California was seized from the lazy Mexicans who did not know what to do with it?" Friedrich Engels added: "In America we have witnessed the conquest of Mexico and have rejoiced at it. It is to the interest of its own development that Mexico will be placed under the tutelage of the United States." Many of Marx's racist ideas were reported in "Karl Marx, Racist" a book written by Nathaniel Weyl, a former member of the U.S. Communist Party. In 1887, Paul Lafargue, who was Marx's son-in-law, was a candidate for a council seat in a Paris district that contained a zoo. Engels claimed that Paul had "one eighth or one twelfth nigger blood." In an April 1887 letter to Paul's wife, Engels wrote, "Being in his quality as a nigger, a degree nearer to the rest of the animal kingdom than the rest of us, he is undoubtedly the most appropriate representative of that district." Marx's anti-Semitic views were no secret. In 1844, he published an essay titled "On the Jewish Question." He wrote that the worldly religion of Jews was "huckstering" and that the Jew's god was "money." Marx's view of Jews was that they could only become an emancipated ethnicity or culture when they no longer exist. Just one step short of calling for genocide, Marx said, "The classes and the races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way." Marx's philosophical successors shared ugly thoughts on blacks and other minorities. Che Guevara, a hero of the left, was a horrific racist. He wrote in his 1952 memoir, "The Motorcycle Diaries": "The Negro is indolent and lazy and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent."” So, ad hominem is not inherently off the table when the fruit of the tree continues to remain poisonous. From the Black Book of Communism, we read that 94 million Communist Citizens were killed in the 20th century by Communistic Governance. 65 million in the People's Republic of China 20 million in the Soviet Union 2 million in Cambodia 2 million in North Korea 1.7 million in Africa 1.5 million in Afghanistan 1 million in the Communist states of Eastern Europe 1 million in Vietnam 150,000 in Latin America 10,000 deaths “resulting from actions of the international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power.” And the other 19th century thinkers that the Frankfurt School drew from were similarly flawed men without the guiding light of scripture to reprove and correct the fallacies erected within their own rationale. But this is not an essay on Marxism or Freudism, but a critique on Critical Theory. However, recurring themes will be playing out among those who subscribe to the Cultural, Philosophical, and Theological premises that we have already discussed. Critical Theory, much like Freudian Sociology and Marxist Political and Economic Theory, does exactly what its name suggests that it does, it critiques. Critiques what, you may ask: Western Culture and we will see Judeo-Christianity. What really ground the gears of these Frankfurt School Philosophers was that the media and prosperity had supposedly hypnotized the masses into not realizing that they were actually oppressed. “The Consumers are the workers and the employees, the farmers and lower middle class. Capitalist production so confines them, body and soul, that they fall helpless victims to what is offered them. As naturally as the ruled always took the morality imposed upon them more seriously than did the rulers themselves, the deceived masses are today captivated by the myth of success even more than the successful are. Immovably they insist on the very ideology which enslaves them. The misplaced love of the common people for the wrong which is done them, is a greater force than the cunning of the authorities. (Adorno and Horheimer 1973, Pg. 133/144) “Our Humanist ideas will only work if they will just let us try to enslave them again.” These are the Germans, need I remind you. Now, many of the Frankfurt School fled Germany because of their Jewish heritage, but their Atheistic ideology was ultimately incubated in the same stew that Marx, as we've established as a rabid anti-semite, Freud, and the eugenics movement that sought to sterilize the Jews from the face of the Earth. These are the people who we allowed into the universities in the 1960s and 1970s. These socialists and communists simply redesigned their ideology as they saw the colossal failures of Germany, Italy, Russia, China, and everywhere else their Humanist agenda was attempted. This ultimately comes from a rejection of God's standards in substitution for Human reason alone. Reason is a critical part of the Christian Faith, but without the temperance of God's Justice and Moral Law, Human Reason always ends in injustice. https://m.theepochtimes.com/c-how-the-specter-of-communism-is-ruling-our-world https://www.newsherald.com/story/opinion/2020/08/16/many-marxists-dont-realize-their-hero-racist-and-anti-semite/3369024001/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/movingwords/quotefeature/marx.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmund_Freud https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sigmund-Freud/Sexuality-and-development https://asavalas.medium.com/freud-and-the-injustices-of-societal-sexual-repression-398c76303e99

On today's ID the Future, philosopher Jay Richards offers advices on engaging with evolutionists over the issues of origins, evolution, and intelligent design. In his conversation with host Casey Luskin, he says that if someone tells you he's a theistic evolutionist, first find out what he means by theism and evolution. The latter term, in particular, can have widely varying meanings, and the average lay persons who see themselves as theistic evolutionists likely see God as actively and creatively working in the history of life to steer evolutionary outcomes, including the origin of humanity. What they may not realize is that such a view takes them well off the reservation of what academic theistic evolutionists generally mean by the term Read More › Source

On last week's episode Daniel Ray and Brady Blevins discussed the nature of divine hiddenness from a theological and biblical standpoint. This week Daniel and Brady tackle a different aspect of divine hiddenness, this time from a philosophical argument created by atheist philosopher J.L. Schellenberg, against the existence of God. Not to be confused with theological hiddenness, Schellenberg's argument is known as the Hiddenness Argument and is outlined in his two books, one from 2006 titled Divine Hiddenness and Human Reason and one from 2017, a simpler version of the argument titled The Hiddenness Argument - Philosophy's New Challenge to Belief in God. It is a more popular argument among thoughtful skeptics and atheists, one your children or grandchildren away at college may encounter from their unbelieving peers. On this episode Daniel and Brady break down the argument in an easy-to-understand conversation and compare it to what the Bible has to say. We are also featuring a four-page Profile on both theological and philosophical divine hiddenness researched and written by Daniel Ray.RESOURCES: Watchman Fellowship's 4-page Profile on Divine Hiddenness by Daniel Ray: watchman.org/DivineHiddennessWe feature an 18-minute easy-to-understand video presentation on the topic of Divine Hiddenness you may find here: https://youtu.be/xO9qQv0lU0IWe are also offering a free subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.SUPPORT: Help us create more content like this.

The greatest minds in the Bible not not write books on apologeticd.  The greatest minds in the Bible were completely sold out to God. The men and women of the Bible who knew God knew that knowing Him for real involved going beyond mere discursive thinking. They knew that real knowledge of Yahweh involved superknowledge or epignosis!  They never focused on apologetics or the synergy of Faith and Reason.  A real conjoint relationship with Jesus Christ suspends such useless pretensions.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the early medieval philosopher and theologian, Augustine of Hippo's work, On Free Choice of the Will. It focuses specifically his discussion in book 1 about the interaction between Christian faith and human reason in that text. Augustine takes as a starting point the scriptural passage, "Unless you believe, you will not understand", and interprets it in light of a human reason which in some manner cooperates with the divine, which aids it in its quest for truth To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 1500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Augustine's On Free Choice of The Will - https://amzn.to/2GtkSPh

This week I am talking to Olli Lagerspetz about his recent book A Philosophy of Dirt (Reaktion, 2018). This book is a fascinating exploration of what we mean by dirt, how we can use Philosophy to examine it, and whether dirt is an objective or subjective phenomenon. We talked about how dirt is conceived in science, art, politics, anthropology and how we might think of dirt in the context of the environment. As usual in a philosophy conversation, we ended up talking about Plato. Olli Lagerspetz (b. 1963) is  a Senior Lecturer and Adjunct Professor at the Philosophy department at Åbo Akademi University, and Adjunct Professor of the History of Ideas at Oulu University. He is Associate Editor of the Journal of Philosophical Investigations. Lagerspetz studied  at Åbo and, with Peter Winch, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1992-1998 he was Lecturer of philosophy at the University of Wales, Swansea. Lagerspetz has written extensively on the philosophy of the humanities and the social sciences and on the history of social anthropology. His   most recent books include A Philosophy of Dirt (2018), Trust, Ethics and Human Reason (2015) and Intellectual Networks,Philosophy and Social Anthropology (2014) with Kirsti Suolinna and Edward Westermarck. In his research, Lagerspetz has often liked to focus on issues that breach the fact/value divide.  He is interested in looking for alternatives to reductionist accounts of the world we live in. His  main intellectual influences (besides his parents and family members) are Ludwig Wittgenstein and Egon Friedell, plus people who have taught him or worked with him: Lars Hertzberg, Peter Winch, Richard Beardsmore, Ullica Segerstrale, Kirsti Suolinna, Göran Torrkulla, and Hans Rosing.Olli is married with two children and two cats. In his free time, he plays music (tuba and piano). His book was recently reviewed in The Guardian. You can find out about the book here.

One of our own members and a graduate of Grace School of Theology Darryl Moncus brings our message today. The Failure of Human Reason in Light of the Foolishness of the Cross.

How is the human soul affected by sin?  Are some parts of the human soul affected more seriously by sin than others?  Does the human heart have the freedom to emote without the hindrance of sin?  Can the human will act in a way that is not corrupted by sin?  Is it even appropriate to frame the question this way?

Jonathan Switzer.  Past-President of Frederick’s Evangelical Ministerial Fellowship, Founder of “Frederick 48”, former candidate for School Board in Frederick County, Founder of Crossroads Valley Church, and Co-Founder of The Faith Debate. Andrew Messinger.  A movie-making, basketball-playing high school student who attends Faith Church in Frederick.  His congregation is part of the PCA (Presbyterian Church of America), which is squarely within what’s called the Reformed tradition.

Bloomberg View columnist Barry Ritholtz interviews Thomas Gilovich, the Irene Blecker Rosenfeld Professor of Psychology at Cornell University. He has conducted research in social psychology, decision making and behavioral economics, and is best known for his research in heuristics and biases in the field of social psychology. He is the author of several books, including "How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallibility of Human Reason in Everyday Life," and is the co-author (with Amos Tversky) on the seminal study on the myth of the “Hot Hand” in the NBA. His most recent research explored experiential and material consumption and what makes people happy. 

If humans evolved reason to find truth, it’s weirdly flawed. But what if it evolved for the purpose of argument?

Today's topics: Disciples in Mission, George Weigel; Pilot Catholic Directory; Annual Report; March for Life 1st segment: Scot Landry welcomed everyone to the show and ask Susan Abbott about a gathering her office is organizing tonight. She said for the Year of Faith they're going out into parishes for a series of events that attract catechists for inspiration and information. They have a talk on the Year of Faith and then break into groups to work on skills and methods for lower grades and high school grades. Scot welcomed back Greg Tracy who was away last week on vacation with his wife. He comes back very tanned. A top story in this week's Pilot is some reaction to the announcement of the Phase 1 parishes for the Disciples in Mission pastoral plan. The story interviewed Fr. John Sheridan at St. James in Salem, where four parishes are in one collaborative. Greg Tracy said Fr. Sheridan said he's looking forward to the pastoral planning process and is confident the parishes will work together well because they are already working closely together on some initiatives. He was happy that there is now a plan, which Greg said is not untypical of priests in the Archdiocese. Before the pastoral plan, the problem of allocating priests and resources was handled on an ad hoc basis. Scot noted that like all the pastor of the Phase 1 parishes, Fr. Sheridan had to submit his resignation. Pastors and parishes in Phase 1 chose a path of uncertainty for the good of the Church. Susan said Fr. Sheridan says it's not a question of demotion, but that as a priest he has given his life for the good of the Church. Fr. Sheridan also speaks of parish identity. Susan said people here have a very deep sense of identity with the parish. Yet in the pastoral planning, Fr. Sheridan believes one parish identity will not dominate. He also spoke of the diversity of population and he said that music is a way to express that diversity. Scot said next week the show will cover in more depth the kickoff of Phase 1 training at the Pastoral Center, which will give the same training to Central Ministries' staff that parishes will receive to help them understand and appreciate what they'll go through. The employees are going through the training in two groups. Fr. Paul Soper, Director of Pastoral Planning, wrote on about the first day: We started the day with Mass. Then the Chancellor, John Straub, gave us a witness talk. Drs. Angela and David Franks, from TINE and Saint John's Seminary, followed that with a talk called “The Founding of the Church and the Beginning of Evangelization.” Bishop Kennedy came next, with “The History of Evangelization.” Then the Franks again, with “Holy Scripture: Testimony to Faith and Human Reason.” Then, after a lunch break, Michael Lavigne spoke on “Keeping Christ at the Center.” Finally, Mary Ann McLaughlin spoke on “Prayer, Sacraments, and Grace.” Scot encouraged listeners to follow this blog as it documents this very important process. they noted that 120 people is the workable capacity for a training like this at the Pastoral Center. Also in the Pilot is a summary of George Weigel's address at a lecture at St. Columbkille Parish in Brighton, sponsored by St. John's Seminary and the Year of Faith office. Susan said it's an interesting talk and she was thrilled to see that the Pilot article summarized the talk for readers. Scot said he first thought that Evangelical Catholicism was going to be about a Protestant-Catholic connection, but instead the book and the talk were about the Church's mission and how Vatican II outlined the reform of the Church so she could be more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ than she's been. The Church has always been reforming herself to be more faithful and effective to the mission of evangelization. Susan said evangelical is a connection to the New Evangelization. One of Weigel's points was a call to constant conversion and Susan said that echoes what Bishop Arthur Kennedy said in the first session of the Catholic Faith Essentials course on the continuum of conversion. Also in the Pilot this week is a story about the 2013 edition of the Pilot Catholic Directory and how it has reduced the number of pages while keeping the same amount of information. Greg also noted that they've managed to get the directory out earlier than usual. Sometimes it doesn't get out until March. Scot said that's partly because of the number of organizations that have to report and they've managed to streamline the reporting, replacing paper forms with online reporting. Greg added that Antonio Enrique, editor of the Pilot and the Directory, did an immense of work automating the collection and collating of data. Scot noted that the reduction in size came from changes in layout and examination of the best practices in such reporting across the country. The panel discussed the efficiency of using a printed directory over a website or searching Google. Greg said if you're looking for a retreat center, you could Google “retreat center Boston” and get dozens of dubious results or you can look in the directory to get a listing for which you can be confident. Susan said the sacramental index for all parishes is enormously interesting to her. But she also uses it to look up quick information. Scot said there are all kinds of interesting Catholic data like dates for Easter and how to address a letter to various members of the Church's hierarchy.

Dennis Dever of St. Clement Parish in Somerville is resigning and will take Senior Priest/Retirement status, effective February 2. He has served the parish for over 20 years. Also there is a notice in the Pilot this week that the Archdiocese is releasing it's Fiscal Year 2012 annual financial report. This release has been part of Cardinal Seán's initiative for transparency and accountability. Scot said the archdiocese releases more data than any other diocese in the country. Greg noted that while some of the data is esoteric and understandable mainly for experts, it's still comforting that it's there and available and open for anyone to examine. Scot noted that the report is being published many months earlier than it has in the past. In some years it was almost one year after the fiscal year closed, because they had to get all the data in from all the parishes, schools, and associated organizations. Now they are able to release it just about six months later, which is line with other large organizations. Scot noted that the financial reports of the individual parishes and organizations are on the website as well. Scot said also in this week's Pilot is an obituary for Fr. Eugene P. Curtin, ordained in 1956. He was 81. The big story in the Church over the next week will be the 40th anniversary of the March for Life and the Roe v. Wade decision making abortion legal nationwide. Susan said she went to the first March for Life in Washington. She was the mother of three small children at the time. She left the kids with her husband and rode a bus contracted by Mass. Citizens for Life. They traveled overnight and marched during the day and then returned to Boston about 5 am. She hasn't been able to go back since then. She noted that the March has grown amazingly, especially with young people. Greg said he's been to six or seven marches over the years. Chris Pineo from the Pilot will travel with kids from the Archdiocese and Greg will travel with Cardinal Seán, who as chairman of the US bishops pro-life committee, will lead many of their events and gatherings, such as being the main celebrant at the Vigil Mass at the National Shrine of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. He will also speak from the podium during the March on the National Mall. ALso in the Pilot is a column by Jaymie Stuart Wolfe who will be the emcee for the Assembly for Life at Fanueil Hall on Sunday, January 27. The main speaker at the event will be Abby Johnson, the former director of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic who left that job and had a conversion to both Catholicism and pro-life. Johnson now works to help abortion clinic workers to leave the profession. Greg said once you get past all the euphemisms and see the consequences for real people in real life, that changes hearts and minds. Greg noted that the news media used to refer to fetus when speaking of abortion and unborn baby for all other pregnancies, but when the inconsistency was highlighted, they all switched to referring only to fetuses. Susan said Johnson's work is about helping clinic workers with the economic efforts of leaving their jobs and getting training and new jobs as well as the spiritual counseling and healing they will need. Scot mentioned that also locally most of the parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston will have Holy Hours for Life, cosponsored by the Office of Permanent Deacons and the Pro-Life Office. A list of local times is on the website of the . January 19 through 27, the US Bishops are asking for marking the 40th anniversary of the March for Life and Roe v. Wade. Scot noted that this week is the National Vocation Awareness Week and he encouraged all listeners to seek out and encourage men and women who may have a religious vocation.
