Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”What happens when the three necessary societies, the foundational pillars for human flourishing, crumble simultaneously? Jack and Veronica Burchard, Chief Operating Officer of Sophia Institute, explores how Pope Leo XIII's groundbreaking encyclical Rerum Novarum offers extraordinary wisdom for our modern cultural crisis.Burchard shares what motivated her to create "A Pocket Guide to Rerum Novarum," making this essential Catholic social teaching more accessible to today's readers. Together, they unpack how Leo XIII's prophetic vision of the three necessary societies—Marriage and the Family, Christ and the Church, and Polity-Civil Society—creates a framework for understanding human dignity and societal flourishing.The discussion reveals surprising relevance for today's young adults struggling under financial burdens that delay family formation and Leo XIII's teaching that "the family predates the state" and that private property rights flow from our responsibility to care for our families, and discover a liberating alternative to both socialist promises and unchecked capitalism.

Georges-Rémy enseigne la philosophie au Collège Bois-de-Boulogne et vient de déposer sa thèse de doctorat sur le néothomisme québécois. Il a aussi écrit un article sur L'Encyclopédie de L'Agora, dans lequel il utilise cet éclairage pour déboulonner la récupération des idées de Thomas d'Aquin par le vice-président étatsunien J.D. Vance, selon qui le concept d'Ordo amoris justifierait le mauvais traitement réservé aux immigrants. Vincent est diplômé en philosophie, sciences politique et théologie, et travaille comme intervenant en soins spirituels à Trois-Rivières. Il vient de publier un recueil de dialogues sur Dieu intitulé Entre foi et raison. Il partage l'analyse de Georges-Rémy, nous transmet son optimisme quant au nouveau pontificat de Léon XIV et fait des liens avec son prédécesseur Léon XIII et sa fameuse encyclique Rerum novarum. Julien est un peu perdu dans tout ce latin et essaie de s'en sortir en ploguant des noms de philosophes contemporains.Pour lire le texte de Georges-Rémy : https://agora.qc.ca/georges-remy-fortin/reflexions-critiques-sur-jd-vance-du-point-de-vue-du-neothomisme-quebecoisPour lire le livre de Vincent : https://fr.novalis.ca/products/entre-foi-et-raison-douze-discussions-pour-parler-de-dieu-sans-senerver
Should you even own anything?In this final Part 5 of our Rerum Novarum series Jonathan and Amanda unpack what the Church really teaches about ownership, how it applies today, and why it matters more than ever in a world leaning toward extremes.Pope Leo XIII doesn't just defend private property in theory, he lays out why it's essential to human dignity, family protection, and real justice.They also zoom out to talk about what it means to live Catholic principles in an age of rapid automation and AI. Can we prepare well? Should we fear the future—or step into it with discernment and hope?This episode will stretch how you think about economics, human dignity, and what faithful stewardship really looks like.
Are you making enough at work? What does the Church actually say about wages, work conditions, and the responsibilities of employers and employees?In this fourth episode of our Rerum Novarum series, we unpack paragraphs 42–61 of Pope Leo XIII's landmark encyclical on labor and capital. We dig into topics that are still wildly relevant today—fair wages, work-life balance, the dignity of the worker, and the spiritual foundation behind any lasting social reform.Join us as we explore how Catholic social teaching calls us to think bigger and love deeper, even in the workplace.

What is the proper role of government according to the Catholic Church?In Part 3 of our Rerum Novarum series, Amanda and Jonathan dig into how Pope Leo XIII explained the moral role of civil authority—not as a tyrant, but as a protector of justice, property, and the common good.From taxes and socialism to overreach and neglect, we explore how Catholic Social Teaching offers timeless guidance on what government should (and shouldn't) do—and how we can respond as faithful citizens.
How should Catholics think about the tension between rich and poor, employer and employee?In Part 2 of our series on Rerum Novarum, we dive into Pope Leo XIII's clear guidance on class conflict, solidarity, and how the Church sees the proper relationship between capital and labor.This isn't just theory, it's a timely reminder of how Catholic Social Teaching can shape how we work, spend, hire, and vote.Whether you're a business owner, employee, or someone trying to reconcile faith and finances in a chaotic world, this episode will challenge and ground you.Show Notes:

In 1891, Pope Leo XIII wrote Rerum Novarum, an encyclical that launched Catholic Social Teaching- and its message is now more relevant than ever. In this episode, Jonathan and Amanda unpack how this powerful document speaks to the dignity of work, the role of money, and the pursuit of justice in today's world.Whether you're managing a household budget or running a business, you'll walk away with fresh insight into the Church's vision for economic life… and how to apply it.
When Cardinal Robert Prevost was named Pope, he took the name of Pope Leo XIV. Leo XIII authored Rerum Novarum, which is the basis for Catholic social teaching and is friendlier to private property and free markets than anything the Vatican has produced since then.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/leo-xiv-and-rerum-novarum

BBQ Judging, Scythe Harvesting, and Christian MarriageBarbecue Competition Judging: Adam shares his first experience as a barbecue competition judge at a local Catholic church and school fundraiser in Tulsa, where he was joined by his son Jude (assistant judge) and two priests.Judged four categories: chicken, pulled pork, ribs, and brisket (Adam insists brisket is the primary measure; David (wrongly) argues for ribs).12 pit masters competed; judged on appearance, taste, tenderness, texture, uniqueness, and overall (max score 25).Advice from Joe Martin's son: Take one bite per entry to avoid overeating (48 bites total across 40 minutes).Adam judged strictly (e.g., scores as low as 14, zero for appearance), while priests gave higher scores (23–24), highlighting differing standards.Event fostered camaraderie among pit masters (12 hours together) and service to attendees, teaching kids sacrifice, friendship, and craft articulation.Shout-out to Brian Schooley for organizing; Adam and David plan to enter as The Catholic Man Show next year, with Jim in a dunk tank.Main DiscussionWheat Harvest with a ScytheDavid's Experience: David harvested two 45x45-foot wheat plots using a scythe, finding it soothing, peaceful, and in tune with nature despite being exhausting.Quotes Wendell Berry: “The means we use to do our work almost certainly affects the way we look at the world” (via an X account, @minahan8).Compared to last year's sickle (felt “commie”), the scythe was efficient for small-scale farming; not practical for large-scale but satisfying.Kids raked straw (post-harvest, nutritionless due to seeding) for pig bedding or garden mulch; straw vs. hay explained (hay retains nutrition).Adam plans to borrow David's scythe for his own wheat harvest, nervous about back strain.Wendell Berry Reflection: Hosts revisit Berry's essays, appreciating his beautiful, idealistic conclusions but finding his reasoning insufficient (e.g., abandoning tractors would starve people).Compare Berry's idealism to J.R.R. Tolkien and Guardini's Letters at Lake Como; both depict lovely worlds but lack practical solutions for modern challenges.Christian Marriage and Pope Leo XIIIIntroduction to Pope Leo XIII: Adam introduces Pope Leo XIII (1810–1903), a prophetic figure who addressed modernity's challenges (secularism, communism, liberalism) in the late 19th century.Known for Rerum Novarum (1891, Catholic social teaching), reviving Thomism in seminaries (to counter Nietzsche, Hegel, and communism), and engaging modern society.His encyclical Arcanum Divinae Sapientiae (1880) emphasizes Christian marriage as a divine, not secular, institution, foundational to society.Critiqued rise of divorce, moral relativism, and civil interference undermining marriage's sanctity; argued church, not state, holds primary authority over marriage.Marriage as Trinitarian Image: Marriage mirrors the Trinity's relational society, where spousal love is so real it produces a third (child), reflecting Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Secular view (Enlightenment-era and today) reduces marriage to a consensual contract, ignoring its sacramental, stable, and permanent nature.State has a role in regulating marriage per natural law, but church's supernatural authority supersedes.Ephesians 5 and Mutual SubmissionScriptural Basis: Leo XIII references Ephesians 5 (footnoted), where St. Paul instructs mutual submission out of reverence for Christ, with specific roles: wives submit to husbands, husbands love wives as Christ loved the church.Secular society fixates on “wives submit,” ignoring mutual submission and...
Pope Leo XIV could be using Pope Leo XIII's landmark encyclical on capital and labor, Rerum Novarum, to influence his own papacy or at least be a guide post for his papal magisterium. So what does this fundamental social teaching document give us?

In this enlightening episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface Hicks and Joe Rockey delve into the profound world of papal encyclicals and their significance in modern society. The conversation explores the importance of taking the teachings of God and applying them to contemporary issues through the lens of encyclicals, all while understanding their hierarchy in relation to divine revelation found in the Bible.Father Boniface elaborates on how encyclicals are structured to build upon one another, providing a rich tapestry of Catholic doctrine that demands thoughtful engagement. The episode touches on various well-known encyclicals, including Pope Francis' "Laudato Si," and discusses the layered complexities and common misconceptions surrounding these papal documents. The hosts address the broader purpose of encyclicals, which is to teach and integrate theological insights into everyday life while steering clear of simplistic interpretations that can dilute their deeper meanings.The episode transitions into an engaging discussion about Pope Leo XIV, a figure distinguished by his unique blend of North American, Roman, and South American experiences. Father Boniface highlights how Pope Leo brings a global perspective to the papacy, traversing cultural and ecclesiastical divides. His diverse background in administration, pastoral ministry, and missionary work positions him as a "bridge builder" in a world often fragmented by tribalism.Listeners gain insight into the authoritative role of the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, tasked with teaching, governing, and sanctifying the Church. Father Boniface shares personal reflections and stories that illustrate the Pope's profound influence as a spiritual leader and teacher, continually shaping the Church's mission to nourish the faithful through authentic doctrine and the sacraments.Tune in to this episode for a rich, nuanced exploration of the papal role in guiding the Church, the layers within Church teachings, and how the humility and humanity of its leaders continue to inspire believers worldwide. The dialogue wraps up with an invitation for listeners to engage further by sharing their questions and feedback via email.Tags:Father Boniface, Joe Rockey, Catholic Church, Encyclicals, Papal Role, Spiritual Direction, Pope Leo XIV, Encyclical Hierarchy, Catholic Doctrine, Divine Revelation, Laudato Si, Rerum Novarum, Church Teachings, Pope Francis, Papal Authority, Vicar of Christ, Bridge Builder, Global Perspective, Catholic Podcast, Spiritual Insight, Theology, Faith Exploration, Spiritual Growth, Relationship with God, Missionary Work, Pastoral Ministry, Religious Orders, Augustinians, Church History, Canon Law, Universal Church, Pope as Teacher, Papal Influence, Moral Doctrine, Deepening Faith, Sacred Tradition, Biblical TeachingsHashtags:#FatherAndJoe, #CatholicPodcast, #Encyclicals, #ChurchTeachings, #PopeLeoXIV, #SpiritualDirection, #VicarOfChrist, #CatholicDoctrine, #DivineRevelation, #PapalAuthority, #LaudatoSi, #FaithJourney, #GlobalChurch, #TheologyTalk, #FaithAndLife, #ChristianPodcast, #PopeFrancis, #FaithExploration, #SpiritualGrowth, #PapalInsights, #CatholicFaith, #SpiritualWisdom, #DoctrineAndFaith, #BridgeBuilder, #Augustinians, #UniversalChurch, #MissionaryLife, #FaithInAction, #FaithAndCommunity, #SacredTradition, #FaithfulWitness, #BiblicalLearning, #MoralAuthority, #ChristianUnity, #PapalTeachings, #FaithDevelopment, #CommunityOfBelievers, #DeepeningFaith

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat can the pivotal moments of World War II teach us about our rapidly changing world today? Drawing from Victor Davis Hanson's masterful work "The Second World Wars," we explore how three unexpected events in 1941 transformed separate regional conflicts into a global catastrophe—and why similar world-altering shifts might be happening right now.As we recently marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, this episode examines why remembering this history matters more than ever. VE Day represents not just military triumph, but the defense of democracy and freedom against tyranny. For those seeking deeper understanding, we recommend Herman Wouk's epic novels "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance," along with the landmark documentary series "The World at War"—works that capture both the sweeping historical events and deeply personal experiences of this transformative period.Hanson's analysis reveals how technological shifts rapidly altered the course of the war, with aircraft carriers rendering battleships obsolete almost overnight. This serves as a powerful parallel to our current moment, as we face potentially world-changing developments: unprecedented political shifts in America, the election of the first American-born Pope, and an AI revolution that may require new ethical frameworks similar to how Pope Leo XIII addressed industrialization with Rerum Novarum in 1891. Are the winds of change gathering force again? This episode challenges us to learn from history's patterns so we can better navigate our increasingly uncertain future.Key Points from the Episode:• VE Day (May 8, 1945) marked Nazi Germany's defeat and remains relevant as a reminder of war's costs and democracy's value• Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" provide immersive understanding of WWII through personal stories and historical context• "The World at War" documentary remains the gold standard for understanding the conflict through powerful storytelling and rare footage• World War II demonstrates how quickly technological shifts can occur - battleships became obsolete as aircraft carriers dominated naval warfare• Today's potential pivotal shifts include unprecedented US political changes, the first American-born Pope, and the AI revolution• Historical patterns suggest we may be witnessing another period of rapid transformation similar to the world-altering events of 1941Remember history so we are not blinded by those who misinterpret it, and honor the sacrifices made during World War II.Other resources: MM#231--American MasterpieceMM#234--RememberMM#257--Land Ho, The digital revolution is hereWorld at war documentary (watch the first 5 minutes)Want to leave a review?

PART 1: Explaining Rerum NovarumSupport the show
Deacon Omar Gutierrez and Kris McGregor discuss the life and contributions of Pope Leo XIII, highlighting his pivotal role in shaping modern Catholic social teaching. Pope Leo XIII, a deeply intellectual and spiritually grounded leader, sought to engage the modern world rather than retreat from it, producing over 80 encyclicals and major works like Rerum Novarum and Libertas. The post RN-13 – Pope Leo XIII and “Rerum Novarum” (The Condition of Labor) – Regnum Novum with Omar Gutierrez – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
Inniu an deichiú lá de mhí na Bealtaine. Is mise Oisín Mac Conamhna.Toghadh Robert Prevost mar Pápa Leo a Ceathair Déag, ag an gceathrú vóta de chomhthionóil na gcairdinéal sa Séipéal Sistíneach sa Róimh Déardaoin. Is eisean an dá chéad seachtó seachtú Pápa ó Pheadar. Is as Chicago dó, an chéad Phápa as na Stáit Aontaithe, agus chaith sé cuid mhór dá shaol i bPeiriú. Rinne an Pápa Proinsias easpag de in 2014, agus cairdinéal de in 2023. Nuair a fógraíodh é tar éis an toghcháin, labhair sé in Iodáilís, in Spáinnís, agus i Laidin. Tá leid i rogha a ainm phápaigh go mbeidh an ceartas sóisialta ina théama tábhachtach dá phápacht. Tá cáil ar an bPápa Leo deireanach, a Trí Déag, as a imlitir Rerum Novarum, a chuir cearta an lucht oibre go lárnach i dteagasc na heaglaise Rómánaí.Tá cluiche ceannais camógaíochta na Mumhan idir Corcaigh agus Port Láirge curtha siar ag Camógaíocht na Mumhan, mar tá an dá fhoireann ag diúltú scórtaí a chaitheamh. Bhi agóid eile faoin cheist an deireadh seachtaine seo caite, nuair a d'fheistigh foirne Bhaile Átha Cliath agus Chill Cheannaigh chun cluiche ag caitheamh brístí gearra, acht bhí orthu na bristí gearra a athrú go scórtaí sular cuireadh tús leis an gcluiche. An babhta seo tá na himreoirí uilig go soiléir nach nglacfaidh siad leis na scórtaí in aon chur. Beidh comhdháil speisialta ag an gCumann Camógaíochta ar an dara lá is fiche den mhí seo, chun riail na scórtaí éigeantacha a phlé.Bhuaigh Zhao Xintong craobh an domhain sa snúcar in Amharclann an Bhreogáin in Sheffield Dé Luain, an chéad bhuaiteoir ón tSín riamh.

Send us a textAre you interested in why the new pope took the name of an old pope? Is he sending us a message? Leo XIII was a modernizing pope whose most famous encyclical (1891) was called Rerum Novarum (New Things). This is a class lecture that I delivered on that encyclical. I discussed key passages and why it was so important. ps. Don't miss my last podcast on why I am running for pope. It is not what you might think. Perhaps it should have been named "Things I would like to see in a Pope."
