Jay Stringer joins the show, emphasizing that lasting freedom from porn comes from grieving the origin stories behind our desires, not from white-knuckling and will power.

THE ERROR OF ARIUS ABOUT THE INCARNATION

In their eagerness to proclaim the unity of God and man in Christ, some heretics went to the opposite extreme and taught that not only was there one person, but also a single nature, in God and man. This error took its rise from Arius. To defend his position that those scriptural passages where Christ is represented as being inferior to the Father, must refer to the Son of God Himself, regarded in His assuming nature, Arius taught that in Christ there is no other soul than the Word of God who, he maintained, took the place of the soul in Christ’s body. Thus when Christ says, in John 14:28, “The Father is greater than I,” or when He is introduced as praying or as being sad, such matters are to be referred to the very nature of the Son of God. If this were so, the union of God’s Son with man would be effected not only in the person, but also in the nature. For, as we know, the unity of human nature arises from the union of soul and body.

RESTORATION OF MAN BY GOD THROUGH THE INCARNATION

We indicated above that the reparation of human nature could not be effected either by Adam or by any other purely human being. For no individual man ever occupied a position of pre-eminence over the whole of nature; nor can any mere man be the cause of grace. The same reasoning shows that not even an angel could be the author of man’s restoration. An angel cannot be the cause of grace, just as he cannot be man’s recompense with regard to the ultimate perfection of beatitude, to which man was to be recalled. In this matter of beatitude angels and men are on a footing of equality. Nothing remains, therefore, but that such restoration could be effected by God alone.

But if God had decided to restore man solely by an act of His will and power, the order of divine justice would not have been observed. justice demands satisfaction for sin. But God cannot render satisfaction, just as He cannot merit. Such a service pertains to one who ...

What a wonderful image — and the story behind it is even better than the meme!

The De Brailes Hours (c. 1240 AD)

This image comes from a historiated initial in The De Brailes Hours, created by the manuscript illuminator William de Brailes in 13th-century England. The manuscript is dated to Oxford, circa 1240, and is held in the British Library as Add 49999, fol. 40v.

The Story Behind the Image

The story depicted is that Mary punches Satan square in the face to retrieve a charter that a priest named Theophilus had used to sell his soul to the devil. This is the famous Legend of Theophilus — one of the most beloved Marian miracle stories of the Middle Ages, and a precursor to the Faust legend. Mary intercedes, defeats the devil, and restores the document — and thus the man's soul — to him.

A Broader Medieval Tradition

This wasn't a one-off image. Medieval manuscripts were full of powerful depictions of Our Lady fearlessly defeating demons. The Mother of God, more familiar to modern ...

Please pray for my fiancée’s friend, Mia. Mia has been diagnosed with cancer and has just undergone her first round of chemotherapy. The treatment has left her in a lot of pain and almost completely removed her white blood cell count, causing further complications from infections. Her pain has been so terrible that he has even expressed fleeting thoughts of giving up. 🙏🙏🙏

Although Mia has emigrated from the Philippines to the United States, she recently went on a trip to the Philippines to visit my fiancée again before undergoing her treatment. That is when I first spoke with her via video chat with my fiancée. She is a very kind, lovely, and still young woman. So any prayers for her would be greatly appreciated.

St. Thomas Aquinas treats fraternal correction with remarkable depth and precision in Summa Theologica, Question 33 (II-II). Here is a thorough breakdown of his teaching:

🔍 What Is Fraternal Correction?

The correction of a wrongdoer is twofold. One applies a remedy to the sin considered as an evil of the sinner himself — this is fraternal correction properly so called, which is directed to the amendment of the sinner.

There is another correction which applies a remedy to the sin of the wrongdoer considered as hurtful to others, and especially to the common good. This correction is an act of justice, whose concern it is to safeguard the rectitude of justice between one man and another.


❤️ Fraternal Correction Is an Act of Charity

Fraternal correction is the spiritual almsdeed of reproving a sinner — it is an act of charity.

Since the admonition given in fraternal correction is directed to the removal of a brother's sin, which removal pertains to charity, it is evident that this admonition is chiefly an act of ...

Since Joining The Daily Wire...

Since joining The Daily Wire, we’ve started streaming the show on Spotify, and somehow we’re now in the top 7 under Religion & Spirituality. 

Take that, other religions and spiritualities!

Seriously though, thank you to everyone who watches here on Locals, Youtube, or Spotify. 

Christ is King. Glorify Him. 

PS: I know the Internet keeps saying that the Daily Wire is a sinking ship but I disagree :) But even if PWA will sink, it will sink proclaiming the goodness of God and Holy Mother Church.

Thanks for helping me do that.

It's finally here! Jesus Our Refuge 🙌

It’s finally here! 

I’ve been pouring my heart into what I truly believe is an important book—Jesus Our Refuge (get here). It’s the most personal thing I’ve ever written, and my hope is that it helps you find peace and refuge in the heart of Jesus. 

Please consider getting a copy here and reviewing!

P.S. I don’t earn anything from this book. When I wrote it, I knew it had to reach far and wide, so I partnered with a publisher who believes in that mission. Every bit of the royalties I’d have received goes into a fund to give away one million copies for free.
