Ever thought of how biblical narratives could shape justice systems? Or how morality cannot stem from evolution? Our latest conversation is a deep plunge into such thought-provoking themes, where we begin with some intriguing tales from our childhood and our experiences with the Catholic charismatic renewal movement. We also discuss speaking in tongues, a phenomenon that can be as confusing as it is fascinating.
Our discussion takes a sharp turn as we explore Jordan Petersonâs biblical insights, a topic that sparks a lively debate and an analysis of his thought-provoking conversation with Bill Maher. We also delve into the intriguing tale of Sodom and Gomorrah, exploring how this biblical narrative has influenced our justice system. Thatâs not where our exploration of biblical influences ends though! We also scrutinize the story of Jonah and its profound implications on our understanding of morality and the Christian faith.
In our dialogue, we also touch on somewhat controversial issues, such as the implications of atheism on society and the significance of marriage. The role of pheromones in attraction makes for a rather unexpected but intriguing discussion. Our conversation also zeros in on the challenges facing the Catholic priesthood and the impact of excommunication within the Church. This conversation promises to be an insightful, thought-provoking journey. So, tune in and join us on this intellectual exploration!

God put a limit on how smart we can be. He put no limit on how stupid we could be.
Just got done watching the Jordan Peterson/Maher convo then this popped up. And it did not disappoint. Maher's understanding, or lack thereof, of Christian thought was so weak and immature. Glad to hear a solid Catholic response
NICE!
Get Lloyd De Jongh on he is great.
If you are unbaptized, you cannot enter into marriage, neither a natural or supernatural, only a civil one. It's not a real marriage.
Great show, but Kennedy seemed a little bored !đ„±
Another good show.
Bill Maher reminds me of the stoner guys I knew in high school. Iâve never liked him or taken anything he said seriously.
The tongue thing is flawed because In the Bible it was real languages not ratata lkkkkkk
Augustine believed that everything was created in an instant, that it didnât even take seven days
What happened w Father Alex Crow?
I think Francis coraling but not just into SSPX. The Ecclesia dei communities will be corals too. Itâs just as easy to excommunicate a few groups as one. They will kill the dioceses and then kick out the groups
1:34:26 sounds like Christine Niles
First I heard about Fr Crow đ đđą
49:57 which is why they never mention that Darwin's book is actually titled: On the Origin of Species By Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life
I would argue that a Watchmaker God makes no sense, because then that would mean that God doesn't care enough about his creatures to teach them right or wrong, but in that case it makes no sense for God to be interested enough to actually create anything in the first place. A God that doesn't condescend and talk to his Creation somehow makes zero sense.

That last bit on marriage is something that should be expounded on, especially once kids hit 16, 17 years old. I could have greatly used that kind of talk back then. And Kennedy is killer .
Bill Maher wants to be the smartest guy in the room. Unfortunately he is the most ignorant.
Kennedy brought up so many interesting points in this stream, amazing guest!
Heâs laughing because heâs probably stoned.
No, Jonah does not specifically describe the belly of the fish as âhellâ in the Book of Jonah. While he does describe his distress and dire situation inside the fishâs belly, he refers to it as being in the ârealm of the deadâ (verse 2) and being âhurled into the depthsâ (verse 3). The biblical narrative emphasizes his desperation and realization of his dependence on Godâs mercy.
The description of Jonahâs experience inside the fishâs belly is primarily focused on his prayer and plea for Godâs help and salvation. He acknowledges his dire circumstances and the gravity of the situation but does not use the term âhellâ to describe it.
The Book of Jonah is a relatively short narrative, and Jonahâs time inside the fishâs belly is a significant part of the story. The focus is more on Jonahâs repentance, prayer, and Godâs deliverance rather than using specific terminology to describe the location in terms of âhell.â
LOVED the show. Regarding Kennedyâs Beard Balm, however, when we met him at a recent convention, one of the things that impressed me about him as a person was his beard. The camera he uses to record his show doesnât do it justice. His beard is truly beautiful.
Though Iâve gotten used to seeing bearded trad men, for the most part beards havenât appealed to me in the past, especially my husbandâs. Too dry, too scratchy and too unattractive. Itâs why I have generally preferred him clean-shaven.
Kennedy, however, sets a new standard for menâs beards. His is not only well-groomed and nicely styled, but also very soft-looking. That it suits him and enhances his overall appearance is easily apparent on camera. How incredibly soft it appears can only be fully appreciated in person. Itâs the first beard Iâve seen that I thought was beautiful in itself. We didnât have to talk to him long to discover that a good part of this amazing difference is because of the Beard Balm products he uses.
Though my husband didnât think his own beard needed Beard Balm to be its best in terms of how it looks and feels, not only to himself but also to me (his very hard-working, long-suffering wife & mother of his children), I very much disagree! Itâs why if he truly loves me AND his beard, he wonât delay buying and using it any longer!! (Hint, hintâșïž)
Thanks again for a great show, for the hard work it takes to put together the kind of interesting, relevant and unique Catholic content featured on this channel, and for advertising Kennedyâs Beard Balm. You have a couple new fans and subscribers as a resultâŠand hopefully a few more after we share the video. đđ»
As it is hard to hear Bill M speaking so ignorantly of Jonah, may I offer a quick proof of Jonah's humility and holiness?Â
Nobody except Jonah could possibly have known the various parts of his story — because it begins in one place, he goes away from Ninive, toward Joppa, gets on a boat, then in the belly of the fish, then vomited up, then goes through Ninive, then sits outside the city. No one else was present at most of these parts, only Jonah. So Jonah either wrote the story himself, or possibly related it to someone who did. (The notion that the book is made up does not hold water, because it is too strange for someone to invent in combination with God choosing to fulfil it in Jesus' Resurrection. It really happened. It is weird to believe in Jesus but not Jonah.)Â And so all the instances in the Book from which one might infer character shortfalls in Jonah (I don't want to name them) clearly come from the man himself. He was so humble he did not mind being totally misunderstood and held in contempt by idiots — as long as the story got across and all the glory went to God. Proof of his holiness is that God chose him to suffer so much (I don't think anyone ever suffered as he did until Calvary). And yet he tells his story in a manner which makes people think they are better than him, when in fact he is one of the greatest men who ever breathed.
One more amazing possibility: although it is disputed, there are reason's to think that in his youth Jonah was the very boy whom Elijah brought back from the dead. So Jonah had actually experienced death and resurrection. This is God's kindness: to give us a taste in our early life of what we will experience later in a more major way. He prepares us for our crosses and missions. So Jonah was ideally prepared to have confidence in God that he would survive being in the belly of the fish, which confidence he showed in his prayer there.
God bless you all.
