Luke brings up a topic he has been nervous to raise: does the way American Catholics apply the Church's teaching on birth control account for what happens to a person's freedom under real constraint? It's a good conversation. It's not heterodox (we promise). No need to send that email. Gomer walks through his own family's case and then through what the Church actually says about grave matter, full knowledge, and consent of the will. The conversation runs long enough that the fellas decide to finish it next episode. In This Episode: Luke's caveats before the topic: not arguing the Church's teaching, not arguing Humanae Vitae, only asking what full consent looks like when someone's freedom is genuinely constrained Gomer's own case—three miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy that almost killed Shannon, the doctor's warning that another pregnancy could kill her, and the principle of totality that had to be satisfied before a hysterectomy could be recommended The three conditions for mortal sin, and what pornography, hypersexualization, and monetary inflation do to knowledge and consent Having a lot of kids as a measure of Catholic seriousness, the people who feel judged for three or four, and the practical questions about the pill, IUDs, and abstinence Occasions of sin and why this became a two-part conversation Resources Mentioned: Catching Foxes Website Pope Francis Generation Humanae Vitae by Pope St. Paul VI Love and Responsibility by Karol Wojtyła Catching Foxes on Substack Chapters: 00:00: Intro 02:15: Rethinking the American Catholic approach to birth control 04:59: Humanae Vitae, and what is not up for debate here 07:53: Full consent, the unitive good, and when NFP does not work 10:16: Gomer's story—miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and the principle of totality 16:49: What mortal sin requires, and growing up in a culture of death 23:48: Settled teaching and where the Church is still exploring 31:38: The pill, IUDs, and abstinence that wounds the marriage 35:10: Psychological impairment, cultural conditioning, and mitigated guilt 50:25: The alcoholic, the crack addict, and near occasions of sin 01:01:09: IVF, the heroically moral choice, and postpartum realities 01:07:40: Unitive and procreative—von Hildebrand, Wojtyła, and splitting the conversation Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

Why do we keep dividing the world into "us" and "them"? This episode explores purity culture as the hidden force shaping our religion, politics, and identity—offering certainty and belonging while quietly distorting reality. To move toward unitive centrism, we must first name the systems that keep us stuck.

What if the "other side" actually holds something you need? This episode explores how left and right each protect essential values—individual and communal, past and future—and invites a more human way forward. By appreciating both, we can move beyond outrage, soften division, and discover a wiser, more unitive path together.

In the episode, "A Chat with Psychiatrist Dr. John Calvin Chatlos: Introducing the SOUL, or Science of Unitive Love (S6 E12)," Dr. Chatlos joins the show and discusses a framework of spirituality and how spiritual experience is organized in our human experience through every developmental stage of our lives. He shares recent psychological and psychedelic research that has provided new insights into the nature of spiritual experience. Not only is it real, but it is a fundamental core of human nature that has been subjugated out of awareness during human evolution. Dr. Chatlos describes a cosmological foundation worldview, which emphasizes interconnected, wholeness, and unity of all in alignment with modern physics, all from the Big Bang/Big Breath.Dr. Chatlos introduces the Soul (Science of Unitive Love) and how self-worth and dignity are key to opening a spiritual core with mystical signs. By connecting to these "gifts of the universe" we can usher in true healing and tap into our creative forces and thrive. Dr. Chatlos' vision of hope will inspire anyone that is troubled by the many crises for survival and happiness that are present in our world today.
