  • The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 6: The Dignity of Persons

    The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 6: The Dignity of Persons
    Oct 26 2024
    We keep trucking along with our series reconsidering the fundamental pillars and principles of Catholic Social Teaching, the same first run of shows we started with when we began the UnCommon Good on Iowa Catholic Radio 8 years ago. Today we deal with the Dignity of Persons, and how that plays into things like the Imago Dei, Human Rights, and how the primacy of the human person alters how we consider any other social question.

    The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 5: Marriage and Family as Social Goods
    Oct 19 2024
    We are keeping it going with the reconsideration of our first run of shows on Catholic Social Principles we started out the show with 8 years ago. Today we talk about Marriage and Family life not simply as "lifestyle" choices, but as Social Goods with obligations for the society as a whole toward them.

    The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 4: Preferential Option for the Poor
    Oct 12 2024
    We keep rolling along with our Reconsideration of the first series of shows we started with 8 years ago when the UnCommon Good began! Today we explore the Preferential Option for the Poor, hopefully dispel the flat or of base understandings of the concept, and try to shine a light on the brilliance of this distinct principle in the consideration of Catholic Social Principles.

  • The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 3: Solidarity and Subsidiarity

    The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 3: Solidarity and Subsidiarity
    Sep 28 2024
    Keepin' on keepin' on with our 8 year anniversary rewind, review, and renewal episodes about foundational Catholic Social Teaching Principles, we consider the twin giants of Solidarity and Subsidiarity on this episode. 8 years ago we focused on what we saw as shallow interpretations of these ideas, but this time we really focus in on how they are too often seen as opposites or at least something to hold in tension, rather than intimately related, and indeed best seen as subsidiarity being the "Catholic way to do Solidarity." You won't want to miss it! Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr.

  • The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 2: Justice, That Which Each Is Owed

    The Reconsidered Good, Pt. 2: Justice, That Which Each Is Owed
    Sep 21 2024
    We move right along with our reconsideration of the foundations of Catholic Social Teaching we started of the show with 8 years ago, this time diving into the concept of Justice, and what it means to give each person what they are owed. We talk about the three types of Justice, Justice and Mercy, and how this principle provides the bedrock to many other considerations. Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr.

    Next week marks our 8th year anniversary of the show, so this week we are "wrapping up" 7 years and 51 weeks, talking about the origins of the show, its goal when we began, and setting up what makes the Common Good such a fantastic topic to reproach year after year!Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr.

  • The Church: Bulwark Against Worldliness and Foundation For Catholic Social Teaching

    The Church: Bulwark Against Worldliness and Foundation For Catholic Social Teaching
    Aug 31 2024
    The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, but the fact that it is a body means a lot. On one hand, no principle of Catholic Social Teaching stands except that it rest of the foundation of the "brute reality" of the Church. On the other, the members of the Faith become worldly, even in their best intentions, unless they rest their efforts on the fact of the Church as the portal between time and eternity. This and more on the new episode! Iowa Catholic Radio Network Shows: - Be Not Afraid with Fr.
